Only one deck? No deck?

Ah yes, in case the players only have one deck of Uno cards.. or one nice deck and a themed deck of an annoying pop star, for example, you can easily play a modified game of Boile de Muertre.

In the case of one Uno deck, team one will consists of two colors (Yellow and Blue, for example) with choice of two Wilds and two Wild Draw Fours to build their team.  Team two would have the remaining cards to build their deck.  Another modification is that each boile team will have two gladiateurs, not four.  Lastly, when a player declares he is going to harm an opponent’s player, he must declare the color he is attacking (since he wouldn’t have that color in his deck).

In the odd case where a group doesn’t have an Uno deck at all, there is a bit more to modify there.  There would be no Wilds, Kings would be Draw Twos, Queens would be Nulles or Skips and Jacks would be Reverses.  The ten card would be the 0 card.  As for suits to colors, break it up however you wish, just make sure you note it.  Then you proceed play with the one deck modification above.

Now we shall continue with the explanation of the rules with two decks.
