Uno Attack's rules call for the player to press the Launcher button once instead. When a player plays their second-to-last card, thereby reducing their hand to one card, they must shout "uno". If they do not, and another player catches it before the next player takes a turn, they are forced to draw two penalty cards in the original game.
The Xbox 360 version of the game offers three different game modes including Standard Uno, Partner Uno, and House Rules Uno. In Partner Uno, players sitting across from each other join forces to form a team, so that a win by either player is a win for the team. In House Rules Uno, the rules can be tweaked and customized to the player's preference.
