The Story

UNO Dos was released by Mattel in early 2018 as a standalone companion to UNO rather than a reskin — it uses a different core mechanic built entirely around numbers instead of UNO's color/number/symbol matching, though it keeps the family-friendly, fast-round spirit and the '"one card left" shout' tradition (here "Dos!" at two cards). It's commonly sold bundled alongside classic UNO and UNO Flip! in multi-game party packs.

Rule Twists vs. Classic UNO

Everything below is an official printed rule unless flagged otherwise.

Two face-up piles

Unlike UNO's single discard pile, UNO Dos deals out two face-up piles in the center of the table. On your turn you may play on either or both piles.

Single or double-number matching

You can play a single card that exactly matches the number showing on a pile, or play two cards from your hand whose values add up to that pile's number (a "double number match") — letting you shed two cards in a single play.

Calling "Dos"

UNO's "UNO" call becomes "Dos": when you're down to two cards in hand, you must call it out, or risk a 2-card penalty if another player catches you first.

Point-based multi-round scoring

Number cards score their face value and Wild/action cards score 20 points when tallied against the round's loser(s); the first player to reach 200 points wins the match.

Exact special-card distribution

Community

Public rules summaries agree on the core double-pile, double-number-match mechanic and the 20-point action-card scoring, but differ on the precise count and naming of every action card variant in the 112-card deck. Treat the special-card list here as representative rather than a verified full manifest, pending direct confirmation against a physical Mattel instruction sheet.
