Frequently asked questions

Is UNI! free to play?

Yes, UNI! is completely free to play in your browser. The project is funded by light, unobtrusive ads so it can stay free for everyone, with no paywalls.

How many players can play?

Currently, up to 4 players in real time. Play with friends in a private lobby, or fill empty seats with bots so you can start straight away.

Is UNI! like UNO?

UNI! is an independent game inspired by the classic colour-and-number "shedding" card game genre, the same family as UNO® and Crazy Eights. If you enjoy that style of game, you'll feel right at home.

That said, UNI! has its own name, its own artwork and its own code. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Mattel, Inc. or the UNO® brand; UNO® is a registered trademark of its respective owner.

(Fun fact: the name "UNI!" actually comes from the university exam this project grew out of.) You can read the full rules here.

Eventually, UNI! will become an entirely separated game once the architecture is complete.

Do I need to install anything?

There's nothing to download, UNI! runs in any modern browser. You can play as a guest, but creating an account lets you keep your stats over time!

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, UNI! is built to work anywhere!

Is UNI! open source?

Yes. UNI!'s code and assets are released into the public domain (CC0), we love open source and want others to learn from our project and build their own things. Read more on the about page.
