Who, Me?
Hot Death UNO allows for one to avoid the ill effects of Draw Wild cards by stacking another Draw Wild upon it, causing the effects to accumulate and pass on to the next player in the current direction of play. Thus if Player1 discards a Wild Draw 4, Player2 may upon his discretion (in lieu of taking his 4 from the Draw pile) play a Wild Draw 4 and cause Player3 to draw 8 cards. Player3 may then play another Wild Draw 4 to send the effects on to Player4 (to draw 12), if he has such capabilities, and so on. (Note. The Mystery Draw Wild cannot be used to stack because it is not consistently a Draw Wild.)
Variants
Popular House Rules allow for Draw Two cards to be Stacked. Stacking of Draw Twos is played in much the same manner as with Draw Wild cards. As one player discards a Draw Two, the next player may avoid the ill effects by discarding another Draw Two or a Spreader upon it. Note, however, that Spreaders cannot start a round of stacking--they can only continue it. If a Spreader is used to continue a Draw Two Stack, it acts as a regular Draw Two. For example:
Player1 discards a Draw Two, causing Player2 to draw two cards.
Player2 discards a Draw Two, causing Player3 to take four cards.
Player3 discards a Spreader, causing Player4 to draw six cards.
Player4 has no Draw Twos or Spreaders so he must take his six.
