Are you undefeated when it comes to Uno? You may have to give up your title if you perform one classic move.
The card game’s Twitter account recently reminded players you cannot stack Draw cards. Although it’s a popular maneuver, it’s actually against the rules.
If someone puts down a +4 card, you must draw 4 and your turn is skipped. You can’t put down a +2 to make the next person Draw 6. We know you’ve tried it. #UNO pic.twitter.com/wOegca4r0h

“If someone puts down a +4 card, you must draw 4 and your turn is skipped. You can’t put down a +2 to make the next person Draw 6. We know you’ve tried it. #UNO,” the post read.
The tweet garnered lots of attention with more than 61,000 likes and over 48,000 retweets. But folks weren’t praising the post. They were disputing it. Many said the folks at Uno, which was created in 1971, got it wrong.

House rules. Before the game starts ask "are we playing stacks or no stacks?"

Many continued to dispute the long-standing rule, but Uno stood firm.
