I'm sorry but not being able to play multiple cards per turn is weird. How else am I supposed to completely bypass the uno rule by placing two cards of the same number at one time and win.

Ah yes, the hidden-role mind game called "secret nitwit", where you pretend to be clueless about how the game works so your opponent underestimated you
You can stack in some versions. The steam version lets you pass on a +2 if you have one yourself, making it a +4. The steam version also lets you jump in if someone plays an identical card to the one you have. The steam version is actually pretty great, with lots of rules you can add or remove based on what you want. They mentioned playing more than one card, which is an option, and you can turn off the challenge thing with the wild cards, or make it so that you draw until you can play. I assume this version actually has the ability to change these things, but maybe Polygon just didn't realize? Seems weird to make a UNO game without adding options for such frequently used rules.
I like how where they normally explain the rules they say “Everyone knows how to play Fucking Uno!” And then immediately tell us that pat doesn’t know how to play uno.

Start of the video: everyone dunks on Pat for never playing Uno before. Not two minutes later: everyone realizes that they've forgotten most of the rules for Uno or played it with so many house rules that it no longer resembles the original thing. Also, Pat's getting real good at the game real fast. Is this karma, or what?
He didn't have any bad habits to break. Pat had a clean mind, a rich, earthy loam 'pon which to lay a foundation of realisation that everyone knows how to fuckin' play Uno.
What even is that challenge part tbh. That looks really boring. I thought you can pass on and accumulate the +2/+4 punishment if you have a +2/+4 card.
@@danielconnor8516 If a +2 is played, you can stack another +2 and pass the buck. If a +4 wild is played, you can either stack with other +4, and/or you can challenge (as the wild card in some rulesets can only be played when you have no other option.). The challenge basically states that you believe the person who just borked you has other cards they could have played INSTEAD of the Wild/+4. It shows their hand because it's displaying that they did or did not have the cards needed to use that wild/+4. Not a thing they're doing, but other interesting rules are the 7/0 switch, which indicates that either the entire table rotates their hand clockwise on a 0, or you must trade hands with somebody on a 7.
@@danielconnor8516 The thing is, all of those are totally house rules, just like there are in monopoly. They are not invalid and personally I agree Lol I myself play without the challenges, If the +4 is in retaliation, because It's almost like personal defence; so you can stack +2 and +4. The +4 can stack with the +2 normally but for you to stack a +2 over a +4 the colour of your +2 needs to be the same colour that was called for the +4. (For example, if I play a +4 and call blue, if you have a +2 of that colour you can keep the ball rolling)
@@whitetrash8613 Except not really. The steam version has all of these things as customizable within the game.

@@vitormelomedeiros Yup. The "official" rules are the softest version of the rules and it's hilarious that no one in history has ever played the game by the official rules, except when forced by a computer to do so
i fucking love that version i played it irl a few weeks before quar started and it was SO GOOD. at the endgame it was two people left who only had 0s and 7s left and it was incredibly chaotic
For playing spoons my family had to make a rule that you couldn't *take your wedding ring and use it as a weapon when grabbing* , that rule was made because of my grandmother.
The attempted bamboozling of the audience when they constantly apologize to each other when playing cards but we all know that none of these people regret any of their actions.
In my family we learned that, while shuffling the cards, we say out loud what rules we will be using. The amount of house rules is huge, and nobody reads the rules, so we must agree with the rules before start playing
I can almost see the animatocw of Brian and Pat saying "Everyone has Uno, it came with your Xbox." "Well I have the oldest Xbox." "No you don't, I got mine day one!"
My friends and I play a fun version called "Cheaters Uno" where you can cheat as much as you want as long as you don't get caught. If you get caught, draw extra cards.
Hey can we just take a second to appreciate the Overboard logo animation? I know its at the start of every video but I only just paid attention to it now and it is SLICK!
My friends and I would play “stupid uno, a mix of house rules that involved sluffing, playing multiples, stacking draw twos, and combining colors and numbers so that you could play a purple 11 or orange 17. It was mayhem.
The fact I was going through my Spotify recs and was like “is this BDG?” Because the singer sounded like him and I look up the band and it IS him. Amazing. Also the song was a bop.
Uno is such a house rules game and can be so wack to watch others play! lmao! However: I love watching the Polygon Gang play anything!! Thank you for content!!
The game Dos DOES exist, we have it at our house. It has different rules than Uno and goes much faster, mostly because you can play multiple cards at once. It's fun!
These videos are so good and have been an absolute beacon in a challenging time. I feel like I'm hanging out with some friends. The way their personalities play off eachother is so funny.
I didn't even realize "multiples" was a house rule. I've never played UNO that didn't allow for insane combos. If it's your turn, you can play as many cards in a row as you'd like, as long as you are able.
"I'm going through a really psychological time in my life" is perhaps the funniest thing Pat has ever said, and there's some stiff competition for that title
Once I was playing Spoons on a trip with my classmates. We were in northern Canada in winter. One of the players grabbed as many spoons as he could, ran over to the balcony, and chucked them all into the snowbank. It was nuts.
This really does feel like old family Thanksgivings, thanks to everyone for making this video. Now you just need to break out the 1981 trivial pursuit that has a bunch of weird late 70s trivia nobody can remember even though we played it every year.
My favorite house rule is that if you have the exact card that is currently on top, you can play it and the turn continues from there. It makes the game amazingly frantic.
He and Jenna referenced it on one of their Twitch streams! Basically confirming to one another that they felt like it made the most sense that out of everyone, it would be the two of them who had seen it....

no, you absolute fools, that ruins the fun spirit of uno by putting down multiple cards at once, that is the one homemade rule I cannot abide by
Uno isn't high school cafeteria Mao. There are hard and fast rules.

It's a house rule pretty much every family has, which is why it's so weird that it's not an official rule. Official Uno is wack
