And you can only play ONE card each turn. I.e. you can't play a Wild Card and then another card in the same turn.

<p>Second, Your brother didn't violate any rules. If the going color is red and he used the wild card to keep the color to red only- there's no fault in that.</p>

<p>When using a Wild Card, can we say the same colour as the current colour in the game?  </p>

<p>E.g. If the current colour was red and my brother played a Wild Card and said the colour will stay red so that he can discard his red card and win. Is it the correct way?</p>

<p>I felt that a change of colour should have happened?</p>

Either a) your brother should have just played his red card, guaranteeing that he could play his wild card the next turn or b) he played a Wild Draw 4 in a two-player game, which meant he'd be next to play, but he violated the rule of not playing the Wild Draw 4 if you have a card of the current colour.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-08-10)

When using a Wild Card, can we say the same colour as the current colour in the game?

E.g. If the current colour was red and my brother played a Wild Card and said the colour will stay red so that he can discard his red card and win. Is it the correct way?

I felt that a change of colour should have happened?
