Learn to Play UNO!
Переглядів 4,1 тис.6 років тому
A video aimed at children to show them the basics of UNO - a card game for 2-10 players (or more with multiple decks!), where players try to get rid of their cards before any other player. UNO is quick, easy-to-grasp and incredibly fun to play with your friends and family - a perfect game to get you into board/card games! My videos are intended to make board and card games more accessible to ch...
Fun game.
I wanna make my own solo card games too, but idk how
New videos. Please come back 🙏❤
New videos.... please come back 🎉❤
Hi Sir, thank you for being such a great teacher and inspiring me to do well in school By the way, what was the name of your book?
Hi Talha! Lovely to hear from you. The book will be called 'The Storm Weaver'. I've not published yet but will let you know when I do 🙂
Hiiii Mr chapman 😌
Nice one. Well presented 👍
HELLO MR CHATMAN IT YA STUDENT RUBY 😝
Hi Ruby 👋 😄
The first is lovely and elegant. I’d try to lay it out in a pyramid fashion and allow merging along a line. Makes it 2D-ish. And get rid of the adjacent/pair-inbetween restrictions.
It won’t work like an accordeon anymore though...
Block 11 looks like a poorly thought through Solitaire. It would be a better puzzle if you had the picture cards all in a second deck, shuffled once. End goal to have all distinct figures in both row and columns. First you would need to survive through the number deck. End up in such a way that the end grid has all pairs of 11. Cover up all pairs with the figures but do it such that each row or column has the same suit. You may fan out the figures deck, but not reorder them. Take two adjacent figures from the deck and cover the grid cards that make 11.
3:00 but stack 2 and 4 match! Why didn’t you merge these?
I'm enjoying learning solitaire games from your videos! You're a hoot to listen to, as well 😅 which makes it even more enjoyable. I hope I can remember how to play this. Now to find a big playing space since I've got cats!
I played Accordian, two rounds. I had only one card left the first round, and five miles left the second round. I like this one better than Clock Patience. It has more decisions and looking for matches in it. Thank you for your terrific videos!
When will you make more vids
I im gonna give you atleast 3 new subscribers
Someone from school told me about your UA-cam channel im subed now
its 4am, ive just finished work and im kinda bored of playing solitarie, and i found your videos trying to lear a new game and i played the ones on the fist video, i didnt get that fan, and now on the accordion game i managed to finish with 6 piles, not the best, not the worst hahah i liked the game! edit: second time plating, GOT TO 3 PILES
Why do you use non identifiable jacks, queens and kings? It’s impossible to identify them while watching and even you have trouble finding them sometimes.
