FAQ

Can my 7-year-old take part?

Yes. Seven is the minimum age, and children play as equals — same tables, same prizes. A parent registers the child. Everything else is on the children & young people page.

Do I have to stay as a parent?

For children under 12, yes — an accompanying adult stays on site for the tournament. From 12, the consent given at registration is enough. We store no phone numbers; if you want to be reachable, leave your number at the check-in desk. Accompanying adults do not need to register and pay no entry fee.

Can we enter together with friends?

You register individually and play individually — UNO is not a team game. If you are coming as a group, write it in the “anything we should know?” field and we will try to put you at different tables. Playing against each other is more fun.

What happens if I arrive late?

You are placed as soon as you arrive. Rounds you missed count as lost and cannot be played later, and not being at the table after five minutes means losing the round in progress. Better to drop us a line if you are running late.

I can’t make it after all — what should I do?

Quickest is to cancel yourself: the confirmation email contains a link for it, one click and it’s done. Without that email to hand, use the cancel page — enter your email address and we send you the link. (We send a link so that nobody can delete somebody else’s registration.)

The earlier the better: your place then goes to the next person on the waiting list. Emailing us works too, of course.

The tournament is full. Any chance?

Yes. Registrations then automatically join the waiting list, and in practice places do free up. We get in touch in the order of registration.

What does it cost?

€5 entry fee, paid in cash at check-in — the venue takes no cards. Accompanying adults who do not play pay nothing. If you register and cannot come, you pay nothing either; nothing is collected in advance.

Do I need to be good at UNO?

No. The rules are explained to everybody before the first round, and you can read the tournament rules in advance. That is exactly what they are for.

Does stacking count? Can I put a +4 on a +2?

Stacking yes, +2 on a +4 no. Every contentious question is settled in advance in the tournament rules — precisely so that nobody argues on the night.

Is there food?

Yes: cake, coffee and drinks on site. Please bring cash.

Can I pay by card?

No — the venue takes cash only. Debit and credit cards are not accepted. The tournament itself is free, but bring cash for cake, coffee and drinks — and give the children some change too.

How do I get there?

Bus 84A stops at “Johann-Kutschera-Gasse”, directly outside the door; it shuttles between the U2 stations Aspernstraße and Seestadt. From U2 Seestadt it is about a ten-minute walk. Everything else, including parking, is on the getting there page.

Is the venue step-free?

Please tell us what you need in the “anything we should know?” field when you register — we will sort it out in advance and come back to you.

Are photos taken?

Yes. They may be used to report on the tournament, and registering means acknowledging that. If a published picture bothers you, tell the tournament management — on the day or by email — and we take it down again. For children, a word from their parents is enough. Details in the privacy information.

Can I just come and watch?

Very welcome, and no registration needed. Just turn up.
