<p>Officially you can't play anything on a draw card that was directed to you to stop yourself from having to draw the cards and that ends your turn. The ability to stack matching draw cards in regular uno is a common house rule, however, but once you get into house rules, the answer becomes &quot;it depends on what rules the group decides to use&quot;</p>

Please stop adding the house-rules tag. The OP isn't asking about house rules.

@L.ScottJohnson the op is asking about playing cards on a draw two, which is against the RAW but a common house rule. The fact that op did not know what they were asking about is a house rule when they asked does not change the fact this question is about house rule. This would be the same as asking about what money goes into free parking in monopoly. Please stop rolling back valid edits.

<p>In UNO, we just want to know if you can play a <strong>Reverse card</strong> on a <strong>Draw 2 card</strong> or <strong>Wild Draw 4 card</strong> and have the previous player draw the cards instead?</p>

OP do you play with the stacking draw 2/4 house rule (allows playing a draw 2 on a previously played draw 2, adding two cards to the number of cards drawn by player who doesn't have a draw 2 to add to the stack)? Seems like a reasonable house rule to add playing reverses on the stack. Remember, everyone playing has to agree to house rules before play begins.

You can't

According to the uno rules a draw 2 means:

> Draw Two – When a person places this card, the next player will have to pick up two cards and forfeit his/her turn.

Meaning you don't have a chance to play the reverse card and let the other person draw the cards

Officially you can't play anything on a draw card that was directed to you to stop yourself from having to draw the cards and that ends your turn. The ability to stack matching draw cards in regular uno is a common house rule, however, but once you get into house rules, the answer becomes "it depends on what rules the group decides to use"
