How to play UNO with regular playing cards

Running out of card games to play? Only have a boring deck of cards?This instructable will show you how to play UNO with regular playing cards. Instead of using the four colors, you use the suit (Spades, hearts, clubs, diamonds) Numbers 2-9 are just like UNO except 1 and 0. The suit cards are the action cards.

Step 1 Jack

Jack cards are a choice between skip (skip the next player) or reverse (reverse order of players). Although when only two people are playing it doesn't really matter. You can play it when the suit matches, if the person skipped the person ahead of you or if they choose a reverse and you went before them.

maybe another recommendation: play with 2 packs of cards,
2-9 numbers
jack: skip
queen:block
king:draw 2 (+2)
ace:(only you need 4 of them) wild-
joker (4 of them): wild +4
this is more equal to the real uno, but in this version there are no 0's

For me UNO is just a copy of a game called Mau Mau in english. I played Mau Mau (in Poland it's called "makao") in childhood and when my younger cousin came to me a year ago with this UNO game I realized that it's just like Mau Mau with special cards to play instead of normal deck.

I think games and toys companies love to make a few changes in rules and names. in something that is known as a good game/toy and than sell it as their own great and colorfull product.

UNO was my favorite game to play as a child. Thanks for sharing.

This is a cool idea. Hopefully the UNO people don't send you a cease and desist letter for undermining their whole business model of getting people to buy new, special cards when ordinary Bicycle cards do just fine.
