Interjection

uno

  1. (Uno) A term said when the number of cards in player’s hand is reduced to one. If another player says this before the one whose hand contains only one card, the player who failed to say 'uno' must draw two cards.

Usage notes

  • One cannot make the player whose hand is going to be reduced to one card draw by saying 'uno' on the first player’s turn before they have played their card. However, the player whose turn it is can state 'uno' before playing their card (on the presumption they will be playing a card) in order to prevent other players from saying 'uno' before they do.
