Section 5: Scoring & Winning
A hand ends the moment one player has no cards left. That player scores the value of every card still held by the other players.
Card Values
- Number cards (0–9): face value
- Skip, Reverse, Draw Two: 20 points each
- Wild and Wild Draw Four: 50 points each
Play continues hand by hand until a player reaches 500 points, who wins the game.
Many groups instead play a fixed number of hands, or simply treat each hand as its own game and skip scoring entirely — common enough that it is worth agreeing before the first deal.
