The makers of UNO announced a new twist to the popular game on Tuesday, and it's already looking like the change will stir up more controversy in many homes.
People who reacted to the announcement on social media visualized the chaos that will erupt in their house when they play the new version of the game that has already been known to stir up drama among family members.

One of the key additions in the new version — called UNO All Wild — is the Wild Skip Two card, which allows players to skip two players instead of the traditional one.
There's also a Wild Forced Swap card, which enables players to swap their set of cards with another person. Additionally, several other new cards are introduced in the new version.
Unlike classic UNO, the new variation doesn't require matching colors or numbers.
“In UNO All Wild card game, every single card is wild for a fast-paced, even more unpredictable version of this family favorite! There’s no matching of number or color like regular UNO, but it’s not as easy as it sounds,” Mattel announced on its website.
We told you 2022 was going to be wild. Introducing a few new cards:
the Wild Target +2
the Wild Swap Hands
the Wild Double Skip
the Wild Skip
the Wild Reverse. pic.twitter.com/4LL94aL4ug— UNO (@realUNOgame) January 10, 2022
The game has been particularly known to cause mayhem in Black households. UNO All Wild will probably take that tension to another level.
Just add a "fight the person to your right" card and be done with it

Despite the new twist, some players will still continue to make up their own rules.
Awwwww bless y’all hearts. Imagine thinking you can tell us how to play your game. We changed them rules 30 years ago.

Enough of your attempts at totalitarian rule. Uno always has been and always will be a house rules game
