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
