We’ve been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok, and flat out deceived. UNO has officially gone on the record to state you cannot stack +2 and +4 cards in any proper, law-abiding game. Which means there’s a massive chunk of the population who’ve been wronged on many a quiet Sunday night.
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

This revelation comes as a shock to the card game world (as well as the wider world in general). Now dubbed the “UNO Conspiracy,” the scandal that has spanned across decades will be immortalised in history alongside the likes of MKULtra, Watergate, and Jeffery Epstein’s rather short stint in prison.
Apparently, what is supposed to happen after a player puts down a + cards is that the next player must simply draw the prescribed number of cards and skip their turn. Nothing more, nothing less. Stacking from a single-player in a single turn is not UNO kosher and therefore illegal.

As you can imagine, many fans of the beloved game (read: cheaters, cheaters, pumpkin eaters) did not take to the news very kindly; with what can only be described as a public outcry occurring on Twitter for their dead strategy (read: straight-up dog move). There is, however, a loophole.
Although one player may not choose to play God by smiting the next player with the unbridled fury of a merciless deity, the next player may choose to stack on the existing UNO + cards during their own turn. So there’s no real reason to get all up in arms about the way you have to play now.
YES! Someone gets it.
