We're in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and thousands of people are trying to play on this website at the same time.
This game and the server it's hosted on were not provisioned for such a high volume of players. I disabled some features in the hopes that it will hold up better. Remember, this is a singleplayer game, for people who want to spend time playing against artificial intelligences. You cannot play with your friends here, look for alternatives elsewhere. In the meantime, stay safe, stay home, play Uno!

You won't believe it, play-uno.com is finally back!
When I had to close this website in november of 2007 because the server was overwhelmed, I never really thought it'd be the final end of it. There has always been a few days here and there where I dedicated a few minutes of my time to try and find a quick and dirty solution to the various issues plaguing the game. There has always been kind emails sent by players asking why the website was closed, and even after 6 years (!) of absence, I was still receiving them. And it finally dawned on me that maybe I should devote a weekend of my time to hunt and destroy every last issues with the game and relaunch it for good. Which is exactly what I did this weekend and believe me, with a codebase dating from 2007, there was a lot of unsupported and deprecated stuff that didn't work anymore (there's even whole new internet browsers that didn't exist back then). So I patched things here and there, added a few lines of code, refreshed the javascript codebase to modern standards and restored the login and points system along with the ladder. Hopefully that will be the last time I devote some of my time to a 7 years old project that was supposed to just work on its own and leave me alone. Cheers!
