There are card games, then there’s UNO – the game that’ll always split our loyalties, pitching us against our siblings, cousins, and all our loved ones. But, what if we tell you that you’ve been playing it wrong, all your life?
According to the folks over at UNO HQ, you can’t stack +4 or +2 cards.
Stacking a +2 over a +4 is definitely not allowed as per UNO’s official body, meaning you’ve been wrong about this one your entire life. The official Twitter account claimed the same, tweeting –
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

Of course, the internet being the internet had a bunch of bizarre reactions to UNO’s new announcement, with some even claiming that the company is incorrect about the rules. Whaaa? You mean they are wrong about their own game?

Stacking Draw Two and Draw Four cards has never been in the rules. It became an official House Rule in 1998, but they were never mixed. #UNO pic.twitter.com/rEsWFmWWPT
