Uno Questions

Uno is played with a deck of 108 cards, which coincidentally is the same number of cards used in two standard decks of cards (incl. jokers). It's still common enough to find two decks of cards of different colors—these are typically used for games like Bridge.
The distribution of Uno cards is:
76 number cards (two of 1-9 per color, plus one each of 0)
8 Draw 2
8 Reverse
8 Skip
4 Wild
4 Draw 4 Wild
Using two decks as you suggest:
72 number cards (2-10)
8 Skip/Reverse cards (Jacks)
8 Draw 2 (Queens)
8 Wild (Kings)
8 Draw 4 (Aces)
4 Unused jokers
To better approximate the original Uno card distribution, I propose that you keep Reverse and Skip (Jack and Queen) and make half of the Kings be Wild and half be Draw 4 Wild. Typically we've done this by suit.
You lose the strategic zero card from Uno—a number card that is rarer to match and has no point value, but your jokers are still unused. You can just drop that mechanic and leave the jokers out of the deck, or you can assign the jokers to some special purpose. Either would be in keeping with the myriad themed Uno variants which often introduce cards which in practice really break the game and probably haven't been play tested. :)
In that spirit, I propose that the joker be treated as a limited wild card. A joker counts as any suit or wild card without changing it. If the current suit is hearts, the joker is considered to be a joker of hearts. If however you play a joker on top of a joker, you may declare a new suit as if you had just played a wild. I'd score a joker as 15 points, if anyone's bothering to keep track of card point values.
Naturally, I haven't play-tested this joker suggestion any better than Mattel tests its various themed modifications before unleashing them to the wild.

Uno Reverse Card Edit Hearts

The objective of Hearts is to get as few points as possible. Each heart gives one penalty point. There is also one special card, the Queen of spades, which gives 13 penalty points. When the game starts you select 3 cards to pass to one of your opponents. Typically you want to pass your three worst cards to get rid of them. This is how you break UNO.Hey, I've recently started to upload again. Check out my channel and give this video a watch!
