What are your Uno "house rules"? (lemmy.world)

Whenever I play a game with someone new, we quickly realize we have to clarify the rules we're using beforehand, since so many people have their own varieties. What are some non-standard game rules that you/your family/friends follow?

I'll start. My family has a rule where we're not allowed to win on a Wild card. It adds a bit of challenge, and keeps someone from being unbeatable if they play by hoarding wild cards.

We don't play these rules every time, but they're incredibly fun.

On a 0, we all swap hands in the direction of play.

Placing a 7 allows you to swap hands with a person of choice.

+2 cards can be stacked, the first person without a +2 takes all of them

    I've done similar. But we had 6s pass left, 9s pass right (heh heh), 0 I think was your choice and 7 I think was across from you. But I might have swapped those (0s' and 7s') effects.

    I had never heard of all these custom rules at the time ('06-ish) and got thrown into that plus jumping in with identical cards at the same time.

    There might have been one more minor rule at the time, but I can't remember now.
