What is Colour Pile?
Colour Pile is My MP Games' own shedding card game, with an original 108-card deck and original card art. It follows the familiar rules of the “colours and numbers” family. If you know UNO you can play straight away. It is also a close cousin of Crazy Eights, which uses a normal deck of cards and has a wild 8. Colour Pile adds action cards, Wild +4 and the “Last card!” call.
The deck
There are four colours: red, yellow, green and blue. Each colour has one 0, two of every number from 1 to 9, and two each of Skip, Reverse and +2. On top of that there are four Wild cards and four Wild +4 cards, for 108 cards in total.
How to play Colour Pile
- Deal. Everyone gets 7 cards, and one card is turned face up to start the pile.
- Match. On your turn, play one card that matches the top card's colour, number or symbol. A Wild can go on anything, and you choose the next colour.
- Draw if you can't play. Draw one card. If it fits you may play it right away, otherwise pass.
- Call “Last card!”. Tap the Last card! button when you are about to play down to one card. Forget, and any other player can catch you, and you draw 2.
- Go out. The first player to empty their hand wins the round and scores the cards left in everyone else's hands.
Action cards
| Card | What it does | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Skip | The next player misses their turn. | 20 |
| Reverse | Play changes direction. With 2 players it works like Skip. | 20 |
| +2 | The next player draws 2 cards and misses their turn. | 20 |
| Wild | Play it on anything and choose the next colour. | 50 |
| Wild +4 | Choose the colour; the next player draws 4 and misses their turn. Only allowed when you have no card of the current colour. | 50 |
Number cards score their face value. A Wild is never used as the starting card. If the starting card is an action card, it applies to the first player.
House rules you can toggle
- Play to: a single round, or a game to 100, 250 or 500 points.
- Stacking: answer a +2 with your own +2 or a Wild +4, or a Wild +4 with another Wild +4, and the total passes to the next player. Whoever can't stack takes all of it.
- Turn timer: 15, 30, 60 seconds or 2 minutes per turn, so nobody stalls an online game. If time runs out, a move is made for you.
Play UNO-style online with friends, vs Computer or on one device
Invite with a link
Press Create room and share the room code or invite link. Friends join from any phone or computer, empty seats can be given to computer players, and late arrivals can watch the game as spectators.
Play vs Computer
Press Play vs Computer for an instant game against computer players. They follow the same rules as you, call “Last card!” (most of the time) and will catch you if you forget.
2 players or Local vs
Colour Pile works with as few as 2 players. In a two-player game Reverse acts as a Skip, so you play again. With Local vs, you pass one device around and a screen hides each hand between turns.
Strategy tips
- Hold on to Wild cards for when you really need them. They are worth 50 points against you if someone else goes out first.
- Get rid of high cards and action cards early if you think someone is about to go out.
- Change the colour to one the next player just drew on. It's a sign they have none of it.
- Watch the card counts. When someone drops to one card without calling, tap Catch.
