What happens If you challenge a player who say nominates red with his/her wild draw 4 card and you challenge successfully, then the person who played the card would pick up 4 cards instead of you. My question is, does the colour stay as red in this situation or to the colour just before it was reds?

2Challenge? Nominate? Is this for a variant of Uno?– GendoIkariCommented Aug 16, 2016 at 18:30

2Nope, it's in the official rules– Andy Pandy 91Commented Aug 16, 2016 at 18:41

1Just looked it up... not that I play Uno often at all, but I think I was taught wrong and have always played wrong; I never heard of the rule that you can't play a Wild Draw 4 unless it's your only option.– GendoIkariCommented Aug 16, 2016 at 19:17

@AndyPandy91 Nominate is a funny word to use because it's not like you are having some kind of political convention. Dictate would be more like what happens when a wild or wild draw 4 is played.– MichaelCommented Dec 7, 2022 at 2:17

If the Wild Draw 4 is challenged the person who played the card must show their hand to the challenger. If there is a card in their hand that they could have played then the player must draw 6 cards. If the person who played the the draw 4 has no cards that they could have played then the challenger must draw 6 cards. Regardless the outcome of the challenge the Wild Draw 4 stays in play and the game is played normally. All of this info can be found in the rulebook that came with the cards.

4Based on unorules.com, the player who played Wild Draw 4 may have a card that they could play, they just can't have a card of the same colour as the top card. Also, if they do have a card of the same colour as the top card they have to draw 4; drawing 6 is only for an unsuccessful challenger. That's two mistakes in your answer. Please make sure you read and quote rules in your answers. (As to actually answering the question - I don't think it is specified that the Wild Draw 4 remains in play and the game continues normally; I think that is interpretation.)– AndyTCommented Apr 2, 2019 at 11:28
The person who willfully plays a wild draw 4 card to change the color when they had an obvious card to play, is to discard their hand and go watch TV or something, as they have broken the first rule of playing games: No cheaters. Uno is not a bluffing game, and cheating is not expected or tolerated.
--But perhaps I'm being a bit sensitive.
That said, we usually just have the miscreant pick up their wild and play the appropriate card, as our rule breakers are normally the younger kids who didn't recognize the valid card to play.
(Edit) The rules stat that if challenged, and player had a valid card to play, they forfeit their turn. I don't see any rule addressing what happens to the Wild+Draw 4. But if a player has to forfeit their turn, I would think that you would continue play and their card was never played. They would need to pick it up, since they can't play any cards.. they forfeited.

Ok thanks, but it does not say in the rules that you can pick it up, where or how do you know this? Commented Aug 16, 2016 at 15:47

3Actually from the rules it looks like this part of Uno IS a bluffing game. "A player holding a Wild Draw Four may choose to bluff and play the card illegally, but if he/she is caught certain rules apply." Commented Aug 16, 2016 at 19:16
