  • @8bitwiseman
    @8bitwiseman Рік тому +452

    Two quick pitches now that I finished the video:
    1- For the colorblind designs, I’d recommend the officially licensend Color Add version, where the primary colors (Red, Blue, and Yellow) are represented by a unique symbol, while secondary colors are a combination of its primary symbols (So if Yellow is a Diagonal Line, and Blue is a Triangle pointing to the Bottom Right, then Green is a combination of both). Pink could be a Variant of the Red symbol (similar to how in Spanish there is N and then Ñ) and Gray and Black don’t need a symbol as there are clearer from the rest. Of course, you could use the symbols of Color Add (since it’s based on the actual Color Alphabet for Colorblindness, so immune to copyright) or do your own take with a similar system.
    2- In regards of how the Invisibility Wild is implemented, while I understand that symbols are inherently going to overlap, I’d prefer that some symbols retained their uniqueness. So I’d say that instead of Invisibility returns the punishment to the most recent contributor/the players before your turn, it instead skip your own turn and give the punishment to the player that FOLLOWS your turn.
    This not only allows for the Superstar (who I’d imagine that is going to be renamed to just “Counter”) and Invisibility to coexist as separate effects, but give scenarios on whether which card you’d rather use (AKA who you want to screw), better interactions between both (Imagine you skipping the punishment, only for the next player to send it back at you) AND preserve the original card’s theming (As when I picture it, Invisibility is not “I counter the problem”, but “I AVOID the problem”.
    Hope you consider these small changes for this Eldritch horror of a game!

      Mm, I like this. Also think it's interesting when paired with the targeted draw cards.
      With the way you've now defined both cards, I figure if someone throws a draw ALL THE WAY across the table, the "Superstar" would send it right back at them, whereas the "Invisibility" actually makes the chosen player whoever follows you in play order.

Then i have another rule that places jokers back into play and inacts a 3 of a kind rule which allowes you to place 3 of the same card counted by symbol only, not wilds; which also says that any card may be placed on a joker card immediately after to include another joker.
      THEN the only real way to win is play 3 jokers while zeroing out your hand if possible with 1 card or 3 of a kind afterwards. Which finally inacts the last rule to it that makes this tie in and work together; the losers rule, if the last person remaining cannot play ALL of their cards in any order(ie. you place a yellow card and have a red card still in hand) then you are the ONLY loser, which yes means there are no winners for the entire game and you can only self eliminate via jokers to make sure you don't lose.
      oh yeah and since this is a rule specific to amalgam, yes the mario star and harry potter invincibility do counter this if played before turn end; to include the player placing jokers+star/invincible, which means they're still in play with 0 cards if they didn't have any.

    There's a few card games that have an "invisible card" concept. The way it usually works is: play the invisible card to pass the last card to the _next_ player in turn order instead of you. I feel like it may be a way to differentiate the invisibility cloak from just being "super star but stronger" by passing the effect on instead of reflecting it.

    if you're already going through the trouble of adding a diceset to the game, having 4d8s with a color on each face to track the status of the piles might make sense. considering the pure insanity you're going to go through while playing, with the dancing, referencing the rulebook, houserules, and (presumably) very drunk, it's gonna get extremely hard to keep track of all of the piles

      Food for thought, why not just top right this dice image and number so you no longer have to keep track of it like how playing cards do with the face cards. Then you read a number and just match top left and top right to values on the pile instead of ever reading the card you instead get all your info of every card in the game so far from top left symbol, top right color number, bottom right alternate or equal symbol, bottom left alternate color number if applicable.

    For remembering the Wild color, perhaps there can be a marker which sits atop the current color as depicted on the Wild card. When a card is played on the wild, the marker is removed. That way, only 4 markers will be needed, one for each discard pile. This feels like a more elegant solution than an app or 4 tokens per color (or double-sided color tokens). The Wild cards might need a redesign to make that easier to manage though.

    First of all, I'm very much enjoying the series and looking forward to the next episode.
    A version of Uno I'd like to mention is Uno Roboto. It's entirely composed of a B.U.G. which (along with things that don't affect the gameplay) has a chance to give a random player a random command whenever anyone plays a card. For example, player A plays a card and the robot tells player B to discard all cards of a certain color. Not sure exactly how you'd convert this into a non-BUG; maybe just a list of possible commands and a die to choose one from the list? (might be a nice way to add a d20 if you aren't using one already, or a d100 if you're feeling crazy) Though I don't know how you'd randomly select a player for it to apply to. After it gives a command, it chooses a random player to continue play. Also, sometimes it asks a player to create a new house rule which can then be called out as a command later.

    I found some cool suggestions, first is a relatively new version of Uno called Uno show ‘em no mercy, which adds new cards (some are from Uno flip though) and a cool new game rule that removes you from play if you have 25+ cards. Second is Mario Uno’s super star, which makes you invincible to draw 2s and 4s till your next turn. Third is the diary of a wimpy kid Uno’s wild cheese touch card, where all players show if they have any yellow cards, and draw 2 cards if they do. Finally is the cars 3 uno wild crash up card, where you and the next player shuffle your hands together and redistribute evenly. I think all (especially cars 3) would add some more chaos to this chaotic game.

    You've already covered the 50th anniversary edition, and I'm unsure if it's been suggested by anyone else yet, but the 30th anniversary edition has a wonderful card for the amalgam: the Anniversary Card. When played the person who played it chooses all but one of the other cards in their hand and gives those cards to ANY other player. They're also supposed to say 'happy anniversary' to the victim. They ALSO get to choose a new color for play as a wild would, and the rulebook even says anniversary card may be played at any time on any color or number. Maybe allow it to bypass some of the 'pile-freeze' mechanics?

    You are insane, please make more of these. Consider adding Hello Kitty Uno, which has a special "Wild Hello Kitty Bow" card that forces every player to show a red card from their hand, and if they don't have one, they must draw 3 cards. While fact-checking this rule I discovered there is also a "Hello Kitty and Friends" Uno set that includes the "Wild Badtz-Maru" card, which makes the player with the least amount of cards draw 4.
    I love designing card games in my free time and have a terrible sense of humor, so this series has been a blast to binge. Can't wait to play this when it (hopefully) releases physically!

    I think when it comes to wild card colors, you use Monopoly rules, where if nobody notices you play the wrong color card on top of it, you're simply allowed to do so, but if you're called out you have to take back your card and maybe draw some too.
    One issue I see with this is that the player calling you out could simply lie, at which point it would have to be resolved in some way.

    I love that the creeper wild does have a purpose, and it's sole purpose is to force the person who draws it to have a bad day for a lil bit. It's nice to have a card that's mean to the user for a change. I'm glad it's only on 1 card though or there's a chance to have a horrible time. It also means invisibility wild could allow you to ignore it, giving it a card to directly avoid.

    In Uno Toy Story 3 game there's a Lotso card that I think has a cool effect. From uno wiki:
    "The Lotso Card is the special card in the Toy Story 3 edition of Uno, named for the main antagonist of that film, Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear. When this card is played, the player who played the card must say a color. All of the other players must show one card of that color to the player who played the card. If they do not, they must draw 3 cards. However, if all of the other players show a card of the color that was said, the player who played the Lotso Card must draw 3 cards instead.
    Since this card has an effect that applies to everyone, the next player in sequence will take his turn regardless of who had to draw cards. The Lotso Card's effect also still applies when a player uses the card to go out, so it is possible that said player must still draw 3 cards and therefore be put back into the game if it so happens that all the other players show a card of the color he chose.
    Additionally, a player can technically choose not to reveal a card of the color that was said even if they possess it, but they will be forced to draw 3 cards."

    • @MochiKomi
      @MochiKomi Рік тому

      There is also another cool special card from Uno Toy Story 4. From uno wiki:
      "The Wild Duke Caboom Card is the special card for the Toy Story 4 edition of Uno. It is based on the Canadian stuntman toy, Duke Caboom, who is featured in that movie.
      When this card is played, the person who played it gets to choose two players to take both of their hands, mix them up, and then deal them back equally to the two players. If there is an odd number of cards, the person who played the card gets to choose who gets the extra card. After that, the person who played the card chooses a color and play resumes in the current direction.
      The rules of the card technically do not say that you cannot choose yourself as one of the two players whose hands will be mixed up. If this card is used during a 1v1 match, it would have to be that way, because there would only be two players in the entire game. Otherwise, the card would have no effect."

    I think the invisibility card should send the effect to the next person and not deflect it to the previous, because it's like if you tried shooting an invisible person with a gun and missed. You wouldn't hit yourself, you'd hit the person unlucky enough to stand behind the other.

    Also in consoles, there's a Uno Rayman themed with 4 exclusives card themes.
    The Dragon:
    If someone plays this card, all the players hands will be shuffled by the Dragon and randomly distributed to all players (so that means that all the cards will be so random as like the number of card you have and the cards itselfs).
    Punching Things:
    If someone plays this card, it will deflect a Draw Two or a Wild Draw Four and double the penalty! But if it was played normally, it acts as a Wild (Choose the active color of play). (Yeah this card is broken lmao)
    Escape:
    If someone plays this card, they'll get a quick peek at the cards of one of your opponents are holding (this peek is 3 seconds long) and then hide your card total from everyone else. (This can be made with an object to hide your cards like a vase idk)
    A little help:
    If someone plays this card, they'll clone the current card on top of the discard pile.
    (I supposed that there's 2 Dragon cards, 2 Escape cards, 2 Punching thing cards and 2 a Little help cards)
    (The rest of the cards are the same that the original Uno has)

    As for the wild situation, I don't think need to you add something to help people remember, but when you eventually playtest this, if at all, that could be a good way to tell if people can actually remember or need something to remind them.

If you do want an official way to track it i personally prefer the counters over a website as with a website it feels like it would be cumbersome than just keeping track with pen and paper.

    You should make a color it yourself version of the Uno Amalgam. Sell the paper with the respective numbers to color them properly and a pack of crayons or something and sleeves to put the cards in after they're colored.
    Should be cheaper than printing everything in color and it'd be an extra entertainment factor as the corpos in Mattel would say. In fact, has Mattel already done that?
    It'd also allow for further customization. The art cards would still come in colored though.
    If you want to get really expensive woth the printing I recommend you get some braille letterings in the cards. Thatd make them real cool and exponentially harder to print.
