Oh hell yes the Wild +4 rule. I once looked up the actual rules to Monopoly and forced my friends to play with 0 house rules so I'm absolutely the kind of person to vibe off of that. Interestingly, monopoly with no house rules is like an hour long game and honestly superior
SO many house rules in monopoly give more money to the players. I mean the whole point is making your competition bankrupt, OF COURSE more money in play would mean the game would take longer! But does anyone listen? Nooo...and so Monopoly becomes the game no one ever finishes.
And as is probably pointed out all the time, that’s the point, Monopoly is intended to drag out and have one person snowball the others, just like IRL. I mean it’s there in the name.
I played God Monopoly with my 5 year old niece one time (we made it up). Basically she plays the bank and we played as if she literally owned every single tile (we started with extra money) and we basically tried to wring back the control of the world from her with shady deals and dumb arguments (reminder she was 5). Some of the most fun I've had playing a board game. Impossible with an adult though, cant beat a fully developed brain when they play as god. ( I say she was five, but I literally cannot tell the age of children and it's been a while, she could've been anywhere from 4 to 8 really)
Its usually Disciplinary Committee or Student Morals Committee And yes, Student Councils often do have the ability to implement moderate rules like banning certain things within reason, Japanese education systems really like to have political involvement/governance be Part of School, so the Student Council typically has some actual weight to the rules and standards rather than just being the five bozos stuck handling the bi-monthly fairs
Public Morals committees and Student Councils are usually two different things, actually. Public Morals ensures rule compliance while the Student Council sets the rules.
My first exposure to Uno as a child was through some really strange old Windows variant called Hot Death Uno, which had a bunch of strange special cards, such as one which, when played forces everyone to place their hand face up, or a card that could be played as either a 6 or a 9, Yes, it's exactly what you think it is. That sort of shenaniganry seems very in the spirit of anime.
We really didn't know the Student Council President was the true hero after all. The Demon Child gains her power from UNO, and now that UNO is a worldwide sensation, there truly is nothing stopping her from destroying the world. An UNO. This was a fun video to watch, there truly are many video games out there in the world.
The only way to beat this monster is to win at Uno without letting her play a single card. Lucky for the destined challenger, she allows you one house rule and first play.
I'd like to see the pitch meeting for some of these. "Alright, hear me out. A videogame based around UNO. At one point you have to play against a pair of twins where one is a bishie in a suit and the other is a tomboy making wacky expressions" "P E R F E C T" "And then you have to beat a child" "NICE"
I think the giraffe is meant to be the Wild Draw 4 challenge, since it has a six on its head, and "Giraffe" when sounded out in Engrish sounds like "Draw Four"? I dunno.
3:10 I mean we had an uno tournament among the universities in our city, and as pathetic this brag it is, I got to 2nd place >:) BUT we had rules modified to the likes of Bridge. Points from cards are granted not to the winner of the game, but to the player holding the cards. Winner gets 0 points. And whoever gets (let's say) 150 points closes the match and loses. The one who gets the least amount of points wins. It was so fucking serious we had a jury mixing the cards.
11:45 Correct me if I'm wrong (I might be), but I think as of 2023, the scoring rules were demoted to a suggestion, with "default" rules now being the common house rule of only tracking win count.
i honestly couldn't have the foggiest idea about any potential UNO errata that may have occurred at any point in time. the idea of a rule revision in 2023 is kind of funny on face value to me
2:45 Somehow this game's protagonist literally being named Uno is not surprising to me when you consider the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh is named Yugi Muto. I'd be interested to learn if Shun'ichi's name creates a pun or reference.
Yu-Gi-Oh wasn't about card games initially. Yami Yugi (the "adult" one) went around killing bad people by beating them at board games. One board game he played against Kaiba was this invented card game. People liked the card game aspect so much that it took over the manga
16:45 I decided out of curiousity to win this mtach. Surprisingly, didn't progress to the scene shown here and got a bit lost. I ran around and fought the UNO club president and the student council president, then I ran back to the gym to end up in a 5-man game with the characters who weren't in the previous match plus glasses girl. Then I fought another 5-player game that had the same roster as the 6-man game minus glasses girl. At that point I got curious how long this goes on for if you just keep winning. I fought a 4-man game with the English teacher, club pres, and public morals guy. Afterwards, you get the Student Council President stealing all the credit. So losing the very first match allows you to skip THREE additional UNO games and go onto Chapter 5. Also, what a weird tournament structure.
Given the complete madness that is this video (which is pretty much the norm when it comes to Punchy), the least I can do is to donate through this comment. The sheer chaotic entertainment was too enjoyable not to chip in.
Oh great, they actually have the point system in the game, if it didn't I'd be super surprised. The points system in a group setting actually makes holding all your special cards a possible issue, so you can actually be punished for hoarding. Removing points actually unbalances Uno quite a bit. Not that anyone really cares. Also draw forever is a better rule than stacking, anyone can fight me on that. (Oh and great video again Punchy, was happy to see you did a video on Uno!)
I actually owned a LCD handheld Uno game for up to three AI opponents. That did use a point system for the winner. If memory serves, the 'official' (lack of a better word) Uno game on Steam uses a point system as well.
NGL, that bombastic opening gives me Sushi Strikers: Way of Sushido vibes. That game had a banger opening song that had a lot more effort put into it than you would think. Like, Come on, you're a UNO RPG/Sushi puzzle game, you didn't need to make the openings go THIS hard!
Amazing! You did the real rules of uno in the best worst possible way. Next up: Punchy finds a cribbage anime sports game for the Game Boy, the original and plays the entire series! Seriously though, I love this, it's a great look at something blisteringly odd.
God, Cribbage! In theory, I love it. But without a computer game showing me the options... knowing the rules in real time against an experienced player leaves me open to giving up like 6 points a hand in things I forget to declare. Ugh.
@@JamesShow I play Cribbage with my dad a lot. It's a fun yet very frustrating game to play irl. Fun because there's a number of ways you can approach it strategically let a lot is left up to chance to keep things exciting, and frustrating because you need to know the scoring inside and out to have any hope of winning against an experienced player. Thankfully, my dad and I play a slightly more merciful version where if you forget to declare something you're simply out the points instead of your opponent stealing them. We like playing this way because it keeps the pace of the game relatively fast and the tone more casual.
Personally I love draw 2 and draw 4 stacking along with other special card stacking, it lets you defend yourself and horribly screw someone else over. The biggest I've ever seen it get was like +16 cards during a 6 person game.
Problem is that it just encourages hoarding draw cards or special cards, and typically punishes you for using a draw card. It becomes a detriment more than a benefit.
@@LinkSlayer64Which is why I am in favor of the point system. Since they're worth a lot of points, and you want to have low points, they'll make you dead last if you hoard them too long
@@LinkSlayer64it also easily turns a minor penalty into one that's literally insurmountable, it's fun to cackle about some poor schmuck having to triple their hand, but it's not, like, good from a gameplay perspective
Lmao, lol even. I've once contributed into giving +20 to the person next to me by using only +2 and +4 can stack against their kind. The reason is? I have two +4 cards and only use one to stack against the person before me first, before using another +4 to save my ass when everyone also put +4 in to stack against the other person
I came across that Uno DX intro a few years back and distinctly remember the buildup to what looked like a cheap high school VN suddenly showing it's hand and revealing it's an Uno tie in 😂
actualy fucking insane video hook, i was just clicking on reccomended videos because i was hoping for a song to come into my reccomended, and then boom, now i am watching this while playing a fighting game
...By any chance, did you discover this via a Tweet that was going around that was like, "watch this game intro and try to guess what it could possibly be about, I dare you?" LMAO at least that's how I first heard of this insane thing! PS: the final track did indeed slap.
"Alright Kaiba, it's my turn. I activate Pot of Greed, this card lets me--" "Yugi, this is Uno. We all know what Pot of Greed does. Do you not know how this game works at ALL?!"
okay I know "draw until you have a valid card" isn't an actual rule, but I usually make it a house rule because I'm a horrible person who enjoys finding out what colors a person doesn't have and manipulating the game so those are the only colors that ever come up, even if it makes my life harder. I'm not here to win, I just want to make everyone's day worse.
I can kinda see what they were trying to do with UNO PSX? There was a proliferation of TCG-based RPGs during that genre's boom, but unlike UNO there's actually a sense of progression and some skill in a TCG, even if all you do is play to earn more cards, the fact that you earn more cards build and/or upgrade decks creates that sense of progression. "Progression" in UNO is just how much torture you're forced to endure.
Draw 2 stacking rule works better in a group setting than a 1 v 1 setting. In a group setting you can get sent straight to the shadow realm if you misplay your draw 2 by everyones cumulative stack. Adding a little layer of strategy on the order what kind of cards you play. In a 1 v 1 it’s usually the person who has the most draw 2 stacked that wins. More like a stand off to see who plays first. I have experience playing Uno during homeroom throughout my whole high school experience, so I know a whole lot. I think we combined two packs together lol. We also had 4+ card stacking which absolutely made it terrifying when it managed to loop back to you.
Finally the UNO content UA-cam has been craving... But honestly I´ve lurked in your UNO streams and you´ve made it fun everytime. Great video, really enjoyed the editing and your humour!
That red "Success" logo appears on a bunch of my weirdest niche games. They're always low budget, but also competently made and usually have at least a mildly interesting concept at the core.
The opening animation for this game is worth the price of admission alone. I also cried a little inside when the six-person match-up happened and you had no joy in it, LOL. Thanks for the great content!
I can’t believe this video doesn’t already have a million views due to its bizarre premise, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’ve shared it with my sister and she found it hilarious too
When I was in college, we came up with "Drinking Rules" for Uno. It's actually surprisingly easy to adapt Uno into a drinking game. Any time it would have been your turn to place a card but another Player's turn denies this, you drink. If someone plays a Draw 2 or Draw 4 on you, you must also take that many drinks. If another player changes the color and you can't play, you drink. You basically have to take a drink unless you can play a card.
About the Sega Saturn part you could modify a Action Replay cartridge and turn it into a ""backup"" loader to play ur "backups" without needing to shell out for a copy of it.
i remember years ago I had an idea for an Uno anime in the same vain as Yu-Gi-Oh, with it being over-the-top, dramatic, and goofy as hell. glad to think that someone had the idea before me
Great video! The world must know of Anime UNO and to fear Demon Child. Now we only need a fan translation group with the time (and possibly paying supporters) to translate this so people around the world could fully enjoy Anime PS1 UNO (and maybe PS2 Anime UNO if they have a bit of extra time). For now tho, at least you've managed to get the world a better look at Anime UNO. Baby steps (...into madness). (Lol, but srsly I would actually play this just to read the likely cheesey sports anime plot/writing if it were translated. Anybody else?)
i do happen to know the game has been seriously considered by at least one translation group with the requisite skill in both hacking and Japanese to produce a fan translation as a viable project but no guarantee they ever get around to it. at any rate this being translated is certainly like. possible.
I'd like to say that the giraffe is probably supposed to litterally be the number 6. Kinda how the number 4 looks like a flag. 11:27 If you flip it upside down I guess?
Me and my friends love stacking so much that we have an ultraspeed house rules that enables stacking, multi card play with two +2 can stack on a +4, and run on a reverse last man standing which dictates the order and shuffler for the next game. Have 30 cards on hand? No problem, put down all 8 2's on the next turn.
6:00 holy damn i commend you for making it through this already, i'm not even playing and it feels like i'm waiting a year for my turn 8:10 i used to play uno with the "standard" rules at my school and, while more entertaining i can't say i wasn't bitter when i ended up in a chain with like a combined draw 26. and maybe because of it i like playing by the old rules
I will first admit my bias: I grew up on the stacking 2's and 4's. I believe it both adds to the risk of deploying a Draw 2 [at the prospect of being forced to draw four cards.] As well as provide counterplay ["Draw 2" "No, draw 4." "No you, draw six." "No you-"] And provides some measure of tension. But also Uno isn't fantastic so :v
20:31 Someone hasn't played Ubisoft's crack at it. The game (or at least the Switch version of it) is borderline unplayable with arduous load times, broken UI, an invite system that doesn't work, and unstable servers that kick players for no reason. However, it is precisely because of this that this game is the only way my friends and I will play UNO, as baffling and frustrating design truly is the spice of life.
I faintly remember a monopoly RPG on SNES made by the same team as earthbound…for some reason. I never really got far in it cuz RPG’s are text heavy and I can’t read Japanese _outside_ of some basic words
With Draw 2/Draw 4 stacking, I kinda look at it from the reverse position to you. I like the stacking because it means that you do have a way out if you're the one who gets stuck in the kill combo. It can also lead to some funny collusion where one person has to draw a stupid amount of cards because everyone stacked. Then again, I don't play Uno all that much so maybe my filthy casual perspective is flawed somehow. It's honestly the most I've ever thought about the Uno rules.
There is another UNO game with a story mode - Uno Undercover for PC. This game is really weird and quirky. Would be fun to see you make a video on it as well.
I remember “Uno the Anime” being a joke on 2010s anime tumblr that felt sooooo crazy and wild at the time…little did we know it came a whole decade earlier lmfao
That op in the first game was basically just Girlchan in Paradise. yes I know Girlchan is an over exaggerated anime parody and that's the point, but I was watching the op and was just like "that's literally just Girlchan"
I'm not the only one who plays uno by the rules!!! We are not from the States, but my mother travelled there when the UNO was new and bringed one home. We learned to play with the rule set. Last 20 years ofy life I had to explain and negotiate the rules when I have played with someone outside my family
I pray someday I make a video on such a niche topic. I've been buying import games for a few years, hoping to do a video next year in Japan (on transit) and getting a healthy amount of imports in person. Great video!
I feel draw 2 stacking in a 1v1 setting is pointless and just has you hold off on using the card as long as possible. Meanwhile in a multi-person setting it can be used a bit more freely while also giving you a mean of defending yourself against the play.
praise be to our lord and saviour, Track 15 I'll admit I scrolled down to comments as soon as the "end" happened and went back later like "wait why is the video still going with this BOP" and found the editing gag, was worth rewinding for xD I don't have Deep Thoughts over Draw Stacking, other than it's a nice way to change things up if you for some reason play enough Uno you get bored of it and need that. But, stacking 2s is allowed, 4s is allowed, 4s on 2s is allowed, but no 2s on 4s. If we're doing it, escalation is allowed but not deescalation, that's my usual ruleset when done, just cause it breeds chaotic energy. I'm no game designer, I'm here to break shit
Was a villain nudity scene really necessary for a simple story about high school uno battles?
... Yes absolutely.
Only thing this game is missing is a rule debate mode. Each round could be 3 times as long and end up with everyone feeling miserable.
wait.... I thought the whole "If Uno was an anime" was just a meme....
When I got this recomended I had to watch that again.
I did too. How has it been nearly 10 years since the Tumblr video that it took til now I found it's a real thing
Now I want to find that again...

I love these hilarious coincidences!
I’ve worked in Japan for over ten years and I’ve met all of one person named Uno. So, they do indeed exist.
Damn, they really made a video games based on Uno the Japanese person
Were they good at Uno?
I also remember some bald guy from Yakuza 5 named Uno.

Oh hell yes the Wild +4 rule. I once looked up the actual rules to Monopoly and forced my friends to play with 0 house rules so I'm absolutely the kind of person to vibe off of that.

( I say she was five, but I literally cannot tell the age of children and it's been a while, she could've been anywhere from 4 to 8 really)
Main reason was, you can literally not explain Monopoly to a child that age without playing the game for them.

I'm not here to win, I just want to make everyone's day worse.
I can kinda see what they were trying to do with UNO PSX? There was a proliferation of TCG-based RPGs during that genre's boom, but unlike UNO there's actually a sense of progression and some skill in a TCG, even if all you do is play to earn more cards, the fact that you earn more cards build and/or upgrade decks creates that sense of progression. "Progression" in UNO is just how much torture you're forced to endure.
the demonchild wants to know if you are ready to UNO for your soul
can’t wait for this to become part of the uno amalgam
I’ve joked about an Uno anime. Never knew it actually existed
Draw 2 stacking rule works better in a group setting than a 1 v 1 setting.
In a group setting you can get sent straight to the shadow realm if you misplay your draw 2 by everyones cumulative stack. Adding a little layer of strategy on the order what kind of cards you play.
In a 1 v 1 it’s usually the person who has the most draw 2 stacked that wins. More like a stand off to see who plays first.
I have experience playing Uno during homeroom throughout my whole high school experience, so I know a whole lot. I think we combined two packs together lol. We also had 4+ card stacking which absolutely made it terrifying when it managed to loop back to you.
Finally the UNO content UA-cam has been craving...
But honestly I´ve lurked in your UNO streams and you´ve made it fun everytime. Great video, really enjoyed the editing and your humour!
if the amalgam doesn't get a story mode from this ps game, im not playing
That red "Success" logo appears on a bunch of my weirdest niche games. They're always low budget, but also competently made and usually have at least a mildly interesting concept at the core.
The opening animation for this game is worth the price of admission alone. I also cried a little inside when the six-person match-up happened and you had no joy in it, LOL. Thanks for the great content!
I can’t believe this video doesn’t already have a million views due to its bizarre premise, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’ve shared it with my sister and she found it hilarious too
I actually did know about the Draw 4 Challenge!
Actually used it in a fanfic I wrote
(It was not about Uno, it just involved Uno for one chapter)
You lured me in with promise of Uno fanfic and then broke my heart 😔
YOU HAVE UNO!! You bought it for 1,500¥ on your fucking PS1!!
When I was in college, we came up with "Drinking Rules" for Uno.
It's actually surprisingly easy to adapt Uno into a drinking game. Any time it would have been your turn to place a card but another Player's turn denies this, you drink. If someone plays a Draw 2 or Draw 4 on you, you must also take that many drinks. If another player changes the color and you can't play, you drink.
You basically have to take a drink unless you can play a card.
Ah, the end credits for the old Super Best Friends Play streams. Beautiful
I was looking for this comment. Thank you fellow ex-Zaibatsu member, for carrying the memories of a beautiful, innocent time.
About the Sega Saturn part you could modify a Action Replay cartridge and turn it into a ""backup"" loader to play ur "backups" without needing to shell out for a copy of it.
Okay the schoolgirl dropkicking that guy was like... Not unexpected but a powerful choice.
Wow, the UNO game on the PS1 manages to actually have an intro while most games nowadays don't. That's kinda depressing.
i remember years ago I had an idea for an Uno anime in the same vain as Yu-Gi-Oh, with it being over-the-top, dramatic, and goofy as hell. glad to think that someone had the idea before me
Great video! The world must know of Anime UNO and to fear Demon Child. Now we only need a fan translation group with the time (and possibly paying supporters) to translate this so people around the world could fully enjoy Anime PS1 UNO (and maybe PS2 Anime UNO if they have a bit of extra time). For now tho, at least you've managed to get the world a better look at Anime UNO. Baby steps (...into madness). (Lol, but srsly I would actually play this just to read the likely cheesey sports anime plot/writing if it were translated. Anybody else?)
i do happen to know the game has been seriously considered by at least one translation group with the requisite skill in both hacking and Japanese to produce a fan translation as a viable project but no guarantee they ever get around to it.
at any rate this being translated is certainly like. possible.
I'd like to say that the giraffe is probably supposed to litterally be the number 6. Kinda how the number 4 looks like a flag. 11:27
If you flip it upside down I guess?
Me and my friends love stacking so much that we have an ultraspeed house rules that enables stacking, multi card play with two +2 can stack on a +4, and run on a reverse last man standing which dictates the order and shuffler for the next game.
Have 30 cards on hand? No problem, put down all 8 2's on the next turn.
6:00 holy damn i commend you for making it through this already, i'm not even playing and it feels like i'm waiting a year for my turn
8:10 i used to play uno with the "standard" rules at my school and, while more entertaining i can't say i wasn't bitter when i ended up in a chain with like a combined draw 26. and maybe because of it i like playing by the old rules
I will first admit my bias: I grew up on the stacking 2's and 4's. I believe it both adds to the risk of deploying a Draw 2 [at the prospect of being forced to draw four cards.] As well as provide counterplay ["Draw 2" "No, draw 4." "No you, draw six." "No you-"] And provides some measure of tension.
But also Uno isn't fantastic so :v
This is why they say PS1 had such a large game library
So like is the main character called Shunichi because 'ichi' means one as well, which is like 'uno'?
They made a UNO 2 and they din’t call it DOS!
I can’t believe that online parody comic where UNO is an anime matched up unintentionally with an actual Japan only video game.
Great video! "This is my sleep paralysis demon. He makes me play Uno" is going to be a regular part of my vocabulary for at least a week.
Reverse acting like a skip in 1v1s is an official rule.
1:16 C'mon this intro slaps. How can anyone not be into this?
Underwear Giraffe is a compelling selling point.
20:31 Someone hasn't played Ubisoft's crack at it. The game (or at least the Switch version of it) is borderline unplayable with arduous load times, broken UI, an invite system that doesn't work, and unstable servers that kick players for no reason. However, it is precisely because of this that this game is the only way my friends and I will play UNO, as baffling and frustrating design truly is the spice of life.
you could not pay me to play an ubisoft game so correct I haven't
At least the game is honest and calls Draw 2 stacking a house rule (local rule is what the Japanese call those).
As someone who hasn't watched the entire vid: "Please tell me MC's name is Yuno..."
I faintly remember a monopoly RPG on SNES made by the same team as earthbound…for some reason. I never really got far in it cuz RPG’s are text heavy and I can’t read Japanese _outside_ of some basic words
Oddly enough, they actually translated that Monopoly game to English.
With Draw 2/Draw 4 stacking, I kinda look at it from the reverse position to you. I like the stacking because it means that you do have a way out if you're the one who gets stuck in the kill combo. It can also lead to some funny collusion where one person has to draw a stupid amount of cards because everyone stacked. Then again, I don't play Uno all that much so maybe my filthy casual perspective is flawed somehow. It's honestly the most I've ever thought about the Uno rules.
Best part uno's own Twitter doesn't know their own rules so it's the wild west of rules
Man, i wish my highschool had a club that was dedicated to playing me.
There is another UNO game with a story mode - Uno Undercover for PC.
This game is really weird and quirky. Would be fun to see you make a video on it as well.
Oh my god. This is what that intro comes from?! I’ve seen that shit several times and just kind of assumed someone made it as a joke
I remember “Uno the Anime” being a joke on 2010s anime tumblr that felt sooooo crazy and wild at the time…little did we know it came a whole decade earlier lmfao
At this point I'd believe any insane premise has a Japan exclusive game for the PS1.
recently there was an Uno tournament so we live in the darkest timeline.
This is just the plot of Cardfight Vanguard
So gotta say the saturn version does have smoother animations for the characters and theyre also bigger, also sound effects are slighty different lol.
Best intro for a documentary ever 0:00
That op in the first game was basically just Girlchan in Paradise. yes I know Girlchan is an over exaggerated anime parody and that's the point, but I was watching the op and was just like "that's literally just Girlchan"
I'm not the only one who plays uno by the rules!!!
We are not from the States, but my mother travelled there when the UNO was new and bringed one home. We learned to play with the rule set.
Last 20 years ofy life I had to explain and negotiate the rules when I have played with someone outside my family
That opening intro is one of the funniest things I've ever seen lmao
This is problably the most honest youtube title I've seen so far. Congrats!
I loved the uno reverse card arc of the anime such fond memories
I’m gonna go with “things I thought were an internet joke that turned out not to be for 500 alex”
I, too, have the Japanese Saturn. For some reason. And 3 copies of Tokimeki Memorial. Again, for some reason.
I pray someday I make a video on such a niche topic. I've been buying import games for a few years, hoping to do a video next year in Japan (on transit) and getting a healthy amount of imports in person.
Great video!
I love uno honestly. I hope someone fan translates this id totally play it.
I feel draw 2 stacking in a 1v1 setting is pointless and just has you hold off on using the card as long as possible.
Meanwhile in a multi-person setting it can be used a bit more freely while also giving you a mean of defending yourself against the play.
Im glad youtube recommended this to me like hell yeah i wanna hear about the obscure jpn exclusive ps1 uno game
praise be to our lord and saviour, Track 15
I'll admit I scrolled down to comments as soon as the "end" happened and went back later like "wait why is the video still going with this BOP" and found the editing gag, was worth rewinding for xD
I don't have Deep Thoughts over Draw Stacking, other than it's a nice way to change things up if you for some reason play enough Uno you get bored of it and need that. But, stacking 2s is allowed, 4s is allowed, 4s on 2s is allowed, but no 2s on 4s. If we're doing it, escalation is allowed but not deescalation, that's my usual ruleset when done, just cause it breeds chaotic energy. I'm no game designer, I'm here to break shit
John anime uno beats up a bunch of high schoolers with the power of UNO in an attempt to become the number UNO overlord
