1. Introduction:
UNO is a classic and beloved card game that has been entertaining people of all ages for decades. It's a game
that combines strategy, luck, and a whole lot of fun. The objective of UNO is to be the first player to get rid of
all your cards.

To start the game, each player is dealt a hand of cards. The deck consists of cards in four different colors: red,
blue, green, and yellow. Each color has cards numbered from 0 to 9, along with special action cards like Skip,
Reverse, and Draw Two. There are also wild cards and wild draw four cards that can change the course of the
game.

On your turn, you must play a card from your hand that matches the color, number, or action of the card on top
of the discard pile. If you don't have a playable card, you must draw a card from the deck. The game keeps
going clockwise, with players taking turns playing cards and trying to get rid of their hand.

One of the most important rules in UNO is to say "UNO" when you have only one card left in your hand.
Forgetting to say "UNO" can result in a penalty, where you have to draw additional cards. The game continues
until one player successfully discards all their cards, and they are declared the winner of that round.

UNO is a game that can be enjoyed by a small group of friends or a larger gathering. It's a game that brings
people together, sparks friendly competition, and guarantees lots of laughter and excitement.

2. System Analysis:

2.1 Identification and Formulation of a problem

The identification and formulation of a problem in the UNO game:

1. Rule Ambiguity: One problem in UNO could be the presence of ambiguous rules that lead to confusion or
disagreements among players. For example, if the rules are not clear about when a Wild Draw Four card can
be played or the consequences of challenging someone's play, it can create confusion and disputes during the
game.

2. Lack of Consistency: Another problem could be inconsistencies in the application of rules across different
variations or editions of the game. If players are accustomed to different rule sets, it can lead to
misunderstandings and disagreements during gameplay.

3. Cheating Prevention: UNO is a game where cheating can occur, intentionally or unintentionally. A problem
to address could be the lack of a clear mechanism for handling situations where a player cheats, such as hiding
cards or not following the rules. Establishing guidelines to prevent and resolve cheating can ensure fair
gameplay.

4. Player Engagement: Sometimes, players may feel disengaged or bored during certain parts of the game,
leading to a decrease in overall enjoyment. Identifying ways to keep all players actively involved and
entertained throughout the game can enhance the overall experience.

5. Game Length: UNO games can vary in length, and some players may find longer games tedious or shorter
games unsatisfying. Finding a balance in game duration to ensure an optimal experience for all players could
be a problem to address.

6. Accessibility: UNO should be accessible to players of all ages and abilities. A problem to consider is
whether the game rules and components are easily understandable and manageable for players with different
levels of cognitive or physical abilities.

2.2 Need and Significant of UNO Game:

The UNO game has both a need and significance in various ways:

1. Entertainment: The primary need for the UNO game is to provide entertainment and fun for players of all
ages. It offers a simple yet engaging gameplay experience that can be enjoyed by individuals, families, and
friends.

2. Social Interaction: UNO promotes social interaction and bonding among players. It allows people to come
together, engage in friendly competition, and create lasting memories through shared experiences.

3. Skill Development: Playing UNO can help develop various skills, such as strategic thinking, problem-
solving, decision-making, and pattern recognition. It encourages players to analyze the game situation,
anticipate opponents' moves, and adapt their strategies accordingly.

4. Universal Appeal: UNO has gained widespread popularity globally due to its easy-to-understand rules and
language-independent gameplay. It transcends language and cultural barriers, making it accessible and
enjoyable for people from different backgrounds.

2.4 Scheduling and Methodology :

Scheduling:

1. Choose a convenient time and date when all players are available to play.

2. Allocate enough time for the game, as UNO can be played in multiple rounds or until a certain score is
reached.

Methodology:

1. Gather the players and make sure everyone has a deck of UNO cards.

2. Shuffle the deck thoroughly to mix up the cards.

3. Decide on the number of rounds or the target score to determine the winner.

4. Determine the starting player. This can be done by various methods, such as the youngest player going first
or drawing a card to determine the order.

5. Each player starts with seven cards, which they hold in their hand.

6. The top card from the deck is placed face-up to form the discard pile.

7. The player to the left of the starting player goes first.

8. On their turn, a player must play a card that matches the color, number, or symbol of the top card in the
discard pile.

9. If a player doesn't have a matching card, they must draw a card from the deck. If the drawn card can be
played, they can play it immediately. Otherwise, their turn ends.

10. Special cards such as Skip, Reverse, and Draw Two can be used strategically to hinder opponents'
progress.

11. Wild cards allow the player to change the color and can be played at any time.

12. The game continues clockwise, with each player taking turns playing cards or drawing if necessary.

13. When a player has only one card left, they must say "UNO" to alert the others. Failure to do so and getting
caught will result in the player having to draw two cards.

14. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins the round.

15. If playing multiple rounds, players can keep track of their scores, and the player with the highest score at
the end is the overall winner.
