Uno..sorrry ...question format doesn't allow for very many words..thanks :-) adhocal 5 months ago .

Add details" is the button you can use to add other words.

Only if your house rules allow. In the official rules of Uno, you can never play a Draw 4 if you have the current color in your hand. Html.

Ummm Ok...although once you draw you can't play anything that is in your hand, so it would seem that whatever is in your hand at that point is not at issue....it is almost as if your hand doesn't exist for that moment in time...that is why I don't think that the "official rules" address that situation at all .....thanks for you reply adhocal 5 months ago .

Sorry, but you're wrong. If you draw something you can play, you can play it immediately. From that official rules link above:" If the player doesn't have anything to match, he must pick a card from the DRAW pile.

If he can play what is drawn, great. Otherwise play moves to the next person. "However, the rules for Draw 4 state that you cannot play it if you have the current color in your hand.

I don't know where you get the idea that your hand stops counting when you draw.

The fact that you cant go back into your hand! The whole question is "if he can play" and the circumstances that the draw 4 rule was written for appear to deal ONLY with what is in your hand at the time before you draw..if you choose to draw then you can't use ANYTHING in your hand so you can't play the matching color from your hand at that point, which could mean that the draw 4 is now playable. That is the whole point of drawing even when you don't have to in order to do something that you cant do with your current hand.It is a gray area and not quite so cut and dried as you are so quick to point out.

Thanks for your input though. I am not going to pursue the thread. Adhocal 5 months ago .

The rule says that you can't play a Draw 4 if you have the color in your hand. It does NOT say that you can't play a Draw 4 if you have the color in your hand and it's playable. It's very cut and dry, actually.

But I don't understand why you're getting in such a huff about it - if you don't like the official rules, agree to different, "house" rules when you play. The game's more fun that way anyhow.

If you have a color in your hand, you need to play that color.

Thanks...BUT you can't play that color in your hand once you have drawn since you cannot play ANY card from your hand once you have drawn, and drawing is ALWAYS an option according to UNO rules. Adhocal 5 months ago .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
