There are some jobs that must be full of the joy for the people who have them. One of those: using the UNO social media account to tell everyone they’re wrong.
The UNO Twitter account, ordinarily, is a fairly chill place. It’s an account for promoting UNO. Not the spiciest of internet content.
But then, two days ago, someone decided to pour petrol on everyone’s UNO-loving childhoods:
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 is the equivalent of an UNO mic drop. Holding back a spare draw two or draw four card is a common defensive mechanism. But as UNO has been making painstakingly clear, for two days straight: You. Can’t. Stack. Cards.
No.

No, you cannot stack cards.

It’s great if you look at the account’s replies through something like Tweetdeck, because then you get a full page of straight “no” and “nope”.
The account also reminded people that saving a swap card for your final card is a really bad idea:
You can, but you have to complete the action. Swapping hands with a player of your choosing and in turn giving them no cards making them win the game.

But mostly, they’re just busy telling people no.
Nope.

On the bright side, everyone has been ignoring the official rules since Uno was first released in 1971. What harm could a few more decades of house rules do? Stack away, rebels.
