** Omitting the 500 point goal. Most players just want to shed cards, so they ignore this and just declare the first player to get rid of their cards the winner. The remaining players may or may not keep playing for 2nd, 3rd, etc. The game and its spin-offs would update its rules in 2022 to officially make this the main victory method while downgrading the point goal as an optional rule.

** Most people assume that if you don't have a match, you draw until you get a matching card. This is another PopularGameVariant usually labeled "Draw to Match" (and contributes heavily to the game's reputation for going on forever); in the official rules, you only draw 1 card, which leads to generally shorter games.

** Players only draw one card if they have no match. A house rule (known as "Draw-to-Match" in the Ubisoft game) is for a player to keep drawing cards until a matching card is available.
** There's a rule in some households that in addition to shouting "UNO!" when you're down to your last card, you must also shout "UNO OUT!" when playing your final card, else you get penalized in a similar manner to not shouting "UNO!" This is not part of the official rulebook, but enough households swear by this unofficial rule that [[https://twitter.com/espn/status/1331427319135801345?s=19 it led to an entire debate on Twitter when NBA player Donavan Mitchell asked the question of whether or not the rule was official to his followers.]]

** Omitting the score mechanic. In the official rules, the first player to get rid of their cards in a round receives points for all of the cards left in their opponents' hands, and the winner is the first to 500 points. Alternatively, you can score each player according to the cards they have left, with the lowest score winning once someone hits 500 points. Most players just want to shed cards, so they ignore this and just declare the first player to get rid of their cards the winner. The remaining players may or may not keep playing for 2nd, 3rd, etc.
** Allowing a Draw Four to be played at any time. The official rules state that you can't play one if you have another card in your hand that matches the ''color'' on the discard pile, and that anyone can challenge a Draw Four play. If someone gets busted for an illegal Draw Four play, they have to draw four instead... but if the play turns out to be legal, the challenger faces a six-card penalty. Many players ignore this bluffing rule because they don't like it or aren't aware that it exists.
** Allowing Draw Two/Draw Four cards to be stacked. In the official rules, you'd just have to eat that Draw Two/Four, while the house rule lets you stack another card on top of it, forcing the next person to draw the cumulative number of cards unless they can add to the pile.
