The Story

UNO BTS was released by Mattel in 2018 in partnership with the K-pop group's label, featuring member artwork in place of standard UNO card faces — part of a broader wave of music-artist UNO tie-ins.

Rule Twists vs. Classic UNO

Everything below is an official printed rule unless flagged otherwise.

Standard UNO rules

Plays exactly like classic UNO — match by color, number, or symbol, with the same Skip, Reverse, Draw Two, Wild, and Wild Draw Four cards. Only the card artwork changes to the licensed theme.

Widely used — not an official rule

Some themed decks add a unique Wild card

Community

Many licensed UNO editions swap one of the four Wild cards for a theme-specific action card (e.g. a franchise-specific mini-game or bonus effect) instead of using pure reskins. The exact rule text varies by print run and box, and hasn't been independently verified for this specific edition, so it isn't listed here — check your box's insert for any card marked differently from the standard five.
