PRIZES:

First Place: $100 Cold Garden Gift Basket

Second Place: $25 Gift Card

RULES:

Rule 1. UNO RULES: Follow all standard UNO rules provided in the deck UNLESS it contradicts one of the following rules.

Rule 2. +2 and +4 Cards Stack: Players may play Pickup Cards on top of each other. (Example: Player 1 plays a +2, causing Player 2 to pick up two cards and lose their turn. Player 3 then plays a Wild +4 on top of the +2, chooses a colour, and causes Player 4 to pick up six cards and lose their turn.)

Rule 3. Card Sequence: If you have a series of cards of the same coloured suit which numerically progress you may play them in sequence. (Example: Player 1 has a Blue 2, Blue 3 and Blue 4. They may play each of those cards in sequence.)

Rule 4. Rotate Hand on 0 Card: If a player plays a 0 card, players rotate hands with the next player in the current direction of play. (Example: Player 3 places a Yellow 0. The current direction of play is clockwise, all players swap their current hand to the player next to them in that direction.)

Rule 5. Play From Draw Deck: If a player has to draw from the deck and they draw a card that can be played, they MUST play that card. (Example: The deck has a Green 1 on it. Player 1 does not have any cards they can play. From the top of the draw deck the pull a +2 Green. The player must play that card since it is the same suit colour.)

Rule 6. Multiple Play: Non-Special cards of the same number, but different colors, can be played at once. (Example: If a player has a blue 7, a red 7 and a green 7 in their hand, they may discard all three cards in one turn.)

Rule 7. Respect & Inclusivity: We know how passionate UNO gets. This is a tournament meant to bring people together for a fun game, with low stakes. There is zero tolerance for disrespect, discrimination, or bad vibes.

Note: A referee will be on premise for any rule discrepancies.
