Dos Card Game Rules and Gameplay Demo
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Dos is the followup to Uno, but the rules are a lot more complex. Once you know what you can do and what each move does, it gets a lot easier. This video will hopefully give a visual, learnable method to wrapping your brain around a rather headache-inducing rules booklet.
RULES REFRESH:
-Each turn you can play one card on each card on the center row that matches that number for a Single Match OR
-You could play two cards whose numbers equal the number on any card in the center row for a Double Match
-If all cards played on a center card match the color as well, you have a Color Match
-For a Single Color Match, you add a card from your hand to the center row at the end of the turn
-For a Double Color Match, you do the same but also each other player draws a card
-After you have played your cards, discard all piles you played on in the center row
-If there are less than two cards in the center at the end of the turn, place cards from the deck until there are two
-After refreshing the center row, add any cards you are allowed to play due to Color Matches
-A 2 card can be any color
-A # card can be any number
-If you can’t play a card on your turn, draw one; if you have a match available you may play it OR
-If you don’t have a match or choose not to play one, add a card from your hand to the center row
-At any time you have two cards, you must say DOS; if another player beats you to it, draw two cards at the end of the turn
-First player to empty their hand wins! Add up the total points for each other player, and the winner receives all of them
-Wild 2 cards are worth 20 points; # cards are worth 40 points; all other cards are worth face value
-The first player to reach 200 points wins
You actually explained the game a whole lot better than the instructions that came with the game itself. I was confused what to do with the discard pile since the instructions don't mention a single thing for what to do there. Thanks for the help.
I think part of the confusion is everyone is expecting it to be basically uno, but it's actually not like UNO at all
The rules make about twice as much sense if you add at the top
"This is not UNO, while the gameplay somewhat resembles UNO, it is not UNO, forget everything you know about UNO, before you read"
Honestly it's not that the rules themselves are confusing, it's that you're not sure that you understand them
(They are still a bit confusing)
ThePirateprincess23 same I literally searched up!” In dos what is the use of the discard pile?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The use of the discard pile is to get rid of the cards that you matched, as you said this is not uno it’s actually not even similar except the look of the cards lol In uno when there are no cards left in the pile you turn over like crazy 8s this game doesn’t function the same !
@@megarotom1590 yes
God that sound when you play the cards is oddly satisfying.

Right, real ASMR
@MrKS W H A T A R E Y O U
i agree
That’s exactly what my daughter was saying!!
This is the third video I've watched on this game and the only one that made it make sense. Thanks for making this!
Who honestly keeps track of their points?!? Lol. My family just plays to see who wins lol.
True lol
It’s not uno when you’ve run out of cards that’s what you would call a round then you take points the first player to 200 wins !
Same, we just play and whoever won most of time is the overall winner
Lol every human being on earth plays like that, on UNO and now on DOS 😂
EXACTLY!
You know that feeling when you know the game's mechanics first than your friends and you have your first game with them?
_Satisfaction and superiority_
I could’ve read the instructions a hundred times and wouldn’t have gotten it. Thank-you
I bet next year, there will be another one called Tres
you mean in the next 20 years
The year is 2070. We're on cien
@@jacobgutierrez752 That's nothing. We're in the year 2275 and are currently playing Mil. It's a popular hit!
Quatro will be popular in 2037
Hopefully our great grandchildren will be around to see seis and siete.
i guess you could say that dos is *TWICE* as hard as uno!
anyone?
...ill see myself out
right
Haha right
*Cricket* *Cricket* haha *Cricket* funny *Cricket* *Cricket*
Yup! 🤣
Is this thing on...
I never liked Uno because it was sooo popular in high school and college
that it seemed that's all anyone wanted to play. When we would play I
would get bored and say, "Can I just add these 2 cards together and play
them both for the value of the card on the board?" Well, it only took
2+ decades for someone to decide to give us permission to do that in a
game play ;+) A coworker got this game for me for Christmas and my
niece and I just played it last night. I told her I should have watched
a video tutorial first. This was an excellent video, however, I agree
with many that explaining the "no color match" was a bit confusing. I
got better clarification reading some other people's comments. Thanks
to Kevin12567 (below) for a really good explanation. I'm ready to play
again!! And to anyone looking for some other fun card games...go check out Phase 10, Skip-Bo and/or Sequence. In my opinion, hands down so much better than Uno or Dos...just saying. But I'm all for anyone who still wants to enjoy a game night the old-fashion way; unplugged from TV and electronics...sitting at a table with a card or board game!!
Thank you! My family loves Uno, so I bought this on impulse when I saw it in the store. Trying to figure out how to play from the instructions was proving to be very confusing - as were many of the "helpful" videos on RUclips. This is buy far the best explaination I found. Thank you for making this.
Just picked up a copy. This video was a lifesaver, the rules as written are a little murky on how adding cards to the center row works. This cleared it up perfectly 😁
Same thang.
I recently got dos and it was so confusing from another vid, i searched again and found a genius here!! Thanks alot Jesse, you have not confused me
Thank you so much for explaining this game slowly. It really helps. All the other youtubers don't explain the discard pile. I know now. Thank you.
Thank you for the gameplay demo. That's all I needed to fully understand this game.
Just to clarify, "no color matches" means you cannot, for example, play a red 4 on top of a red 2 like you can in Uno. Otherwise, color matches are restricted to playing the same number, except the # which can be played on any number, and give bonus effects as shown in the video.
kevin12567 Exactly. You always have to match the number. If you can match the color on top of that you get a bonus.
“There are no color matches in dos” 10 seconds later “And that’s what they call a color match” Umm... So which is it?
Edit: For those people who take things too seriously it was a joke
You have a point though. What he said could be misleading for people, especially since this is intended to be instructional.
Both, wait no, yeah, wait, but, it is, so?, not?, yeah, *HELP ME*
it's not a necessity its a bonus, where you can get rid of an extra card (and in a double color match all other players will draw a card along with you getting rid of a card)
There ARE color matches; he shouldn't have said that there aren't. However, what he meant is that you HAVE TO match the numbers to play. The rules say that you match the number "regardless of the color". If you DO match the color, then there is a bonus.
@@olcafores9946 funny, I got confused when he said that too, as I'm reading the instruction and watching this and the same damn time
for me it seems like uno is more fun and also your explanation for the game is way better then any others i found online
adam jshy I personally love how fast and loose Dos is (once you get through five to ten minutes of practice games to get a feel for the rules). When you run into bad draws Uno can drag on and on, and Dos’ extra piles help to lessen that. Uno is still great because it’s so simple that anyone can play without a frustrating learning curve.
And thank you for the compliment! I’m glad it makes a little more sense!
This makes so much sense now. It actually looks kind of fun now that I’m seeing a demo of it.
It’s more complicated than the first one lol
And doesn't look as fun... At least for me
The ONLY explanation video that made sense 😂 and got through my head!! 😊 well done! thanks x
I am so *C O N F U S E D*
Thank you for explaining well the one video that made sense to me on how to play “Dos” since I recently just got it ✨👌
God bless you for explaining these rules!
Much better than Mattel’s video.
the whole video explains everything about DOS game. & now I finally can play DOS..... w the right rules
I’m someone who learns by seeing an example, so this was perfect for me. Thank you, you were very informative (:
Bought this out of my local store for a family game night which turned into 4 confused people, I'll share my findings with them
With us it was 7 confused people and yea we gave up on playing 😁 till we saw this video
@@yadom-lisaya8778 I just gave up on the game as it wasn't as fun
After getting an idea of how the game is played, it actually seems really fun. I've seen some other tutorials online and all of them kinda rushed over the rules, thanks for the rundown
This video has actual gameplay, that's why it isn't as focusing as other tutorials
I and my friends were going to play dos for the first time later and you’re a great help! Thanks, Mr.!
It is the fifth tutorial I've watched, and finally I get it... Thank you!!
I thought I had figured out how to play this after reading the instructions thoroughly but after watching this, I discovered that we were actually making a mistake with one thing.......we were placing the bonus cards from color matches down first instead of replacing the cards that were played with cards from the deck first. In other words, if both cards that were placed face up were played and we had 2 bonus cards from color matches, we would just put the bonus cards down instead of replacing the 2 face up cards and THEN also adding any bonus cards to the playable area. Glad we watched this video so that we can play this correctly
Wow thank you for this clear and precise demo. Helped me a lot
Thanks very much,i was looking for how to play Dos already two days.❤️😍
Back in the old days: # = Number Sign
Now: # = Hashtag
We get it. You're old.
No I’m not, my third grade teacher taught me that.
@@JersenMapper oh. I guess I'm just old.
ok boomer
Thank you for that explanation, it was much easier to understand than the instructions that came with the game.
my friend and his friends made up their own version of dos before this was released.
lots of crazy rules, lots of booze, it's always a fun time.
Thank you for explaining this way way better than most videos
Amazing video! After 30mins cracking our minds around this deck, we finally got our way!
wow, I did *not* know that that's how you play dos. I've always played dos like uno but you can add up to two cards from your hand to match the card in the middle (if it can add up). And if you did put two cards down, then the card on the top is the new card the next player has to match. One example from my assumed rules is that when there's a 2 in the middle, you can either put a number, two ones, the color that the 2 was made from the player who dealt the 2, or another two.
I would like to play the official version, but unfortunately, the rules and set-up seem too new and confusing for new players and especially players who don't like to learn new rules (like many of my friends)
This video was actually helpful now I can play dos thank you so much
You had a red 3 the second game and you could’ve got a color match
You are correct. I may have been trying to get rid of the Wild 2 because the game could end at any moment, but it's more likely I just missed it. Good eye!
You’re right about that.
I say that too
I think it was better strategy to get rid of the wild 2
If he did play the red three, would he have stacked the color bonuses and been able to place down two cards from his hand? Or do you only get one bonus per round?
Thank you so much 😂 even the video the manufacturer made is confusing! This made it so much easier to understand!
Thank you so much for making this video! We were playing it wrong until we watched this!
Thank you for this explanation my good sir.
This is the best explanation on the internet!
Amazing! Thank you .....you explained it perfect i can now teach my husband 😂😂😂
Great video, I was having a hard time explaining to my friends and this video helped me to clarify some rules for me
Just bought this game yesterday. Read the instructions and felt I needed to see a demo. Your video is great! Clear, simple, easy to follow. Thanks!
Thanks for the demo!!! Very comprehensible!
Seriously the best video on how to play I understand it now thank you.
Best explanation I was able to find! Thanks!
Thank you for your help! We were very confused too. This helped set us straight again! Thank you very much for this video.
You explained this so well. Thank you so much!!!! I watched a couple other videos and almost returned the game lol
Good video on how to play. Although I just play until somebody runs out of cards, not even thinking about points
Thank you so much this video was the easiest
OMG Finally some rules I can understand. Thanks a ton.
Thank you...I can finally understand how to do the Dos!
My 8 year old son and I were wondering how to play.... explained it very well
You have helped me soooo much because the other videos don’t make sense at all
Thank u soo much that was so helpful this one is better then the other vids
To be honest I just I’m going to play it like uno
PoopchiePRO 😂😂
Thanks for the video, I watched another tutorial and was still a little confused.
Me too! This was precisely why I made this video. I appreciate the thanks!
Thank you... SO MUCH! That explains so much more than the instructions!
hey mate I read the rules and it says that you have to make number matches as well, and the # sign can replace any number just for like "if there is a red 7 down, you can use a yellow 2 and a red # sign to make a match", so if the # is not red you can't make a match... like "blue # and yellow 2 can't match for a red 7"...the rest of the video is cool, actually helped me with those complicated rules... thx
Actually, you can use a blue # to match a red 7 but it won't be a colour match, similarly a red # with a yellow 2 won't be a double colour match, only a red # on a red 7 will be a colour match, similarly two red # or a red # with a red 1-6 on a red 7 will be a double colour match.
We've been in REAL trouble with the game and you REALLY help us :D
Thanks you SOOOO much, Sub is done :)
Im looking forward to tres
In the second game at 5:21 you could have won by playing wild 2 and yellow 1 to match the yellow 3 (this will make a double color match making the opponent draw a card and you placing a card at the end of the turn), the red 3 to match the red 3 (making you place another card at the end of the turn) and playing the 9 and blue 1 to match the 10 and calling dos. At the end of the turn you place the two cards leaving you with 0 cards.
This is absolutely correct. I was sucked into the lure of the 10-10 match because in my limited experience, it's much harder to get rid of them and if you put them in the center they're easier to match on. Completely missed that Player 1 could've swept both games. Well played.
The way I understood the rules, the # cards can only be placed on cards of the corresponding color. For example, if your # card is green, you can only match to green.
Not correct
Its good, played last night with my grandparents who LOVE Uno. The rules are definitely more complex though and I think my grandfather was having some difficulty. He's also colorblind too which doesn't help with the color match bonuses.
I like this better than Uno because Dos doesn't go on forever like Uno does. So the rounds are much quicker. If you like Uno I recommend 5 Crowns which is a rummy style game. If you are playing just to players I also recommend Schotten Totten it's basically a 2 player card game with rummy and poker hands. Also if your parents like Monopoly they will probably like Monopoly Deal better it has the same feel as Monopoly but is much shorter and you feel like you have more control over your actions since no dice involved.
There is also a hard to find card game called Straw by AEG which kind of has a Uno feel. And there is also GHOOOST! and Pinana Pirate by Iello which is basically Uno. There was also another Uno like game but I think it had a Greek theme but I forget the name.
Thank you now I fully understand it. The instructions seem so complicated.
When you realize it’s a lot harder than you expected 😅and realize might as well play it like uno better because it’s complicated
Mate, I have to thank for explaining
ok this game looks really interesting, i thought it would be bad, thaks for the explanation
The rules that I got from a retail package have one more thing to add to this video: On a double color match, you can make all of your opponents draw one card.
He actually mentioned it
He didn’t mention that the opponent has to draw on a double color match till the second demo round but yes, he did eventually.
Here's what I really don't get about the way they've structured this game: Applying any color match bonuses you received is the very last thing you do to end your turn. Why? If this happens *after* you make sure the 'center row' has at least 2 cards to start again FROM THE DECK, then how is this really a bonus or advantage? Sure, you get to discard any card(s) from your hand of your choosing to add to the 'center row', BUT...you've now given your opponent an additional option or two for their turn. They have more cards to choose from in the center row, and will more likely not have to draw a card from the deck, but rather will probably be able to play straight away on the center row, somewhere. Not much of an advantage or bonus. It would be much more of a game changer if the card(s) you opt to discard from your hand for your match bonus are what initially replenish the center row up to the mandatory (2) cards, rather than adding to cards coming from the deck.
Ethan Spiro I believe it’s a self-balancing mechanic, to slightly even out the opportunities you get for having a crazy hand to start.
I completely agree! I think we are going to make "house rules" and play it the way you suggested. It makes a lot more sense, and then really would be a bonus for the player who made the color match.
That's a good idea.
I'll have to try both versions, see what works better.
Ethan Spiro we played it like it says and half the time the game is over before you get to play the 2nd time. We were playing with 4 players Exactly like you said you get those color matches and now there is 4-5 cards in center and the next guy almost always goes out. Game is way to fast. Always shuffling cards. We played for 4-5 hours and never really got much better. So we changed it and if single color match you replenish center to 2 cards not the draw pile. If you get 2 card color match. Everybody draws 1 or 2 (we played both ways DOS is 2 so we made them draw 2 ) even just 1 card game lasts longer. In my opinion is still way too fast of a game
This game is pretty cool I like it better than Uno. The only thing I don't like is that when you refill the center row there is a chance that the card will be a wild 2. Only way to match it is with another wild 2 or a # card, so it's hard to combo off of it and becomes dead space for a while. Maybe I could house rule it that when a player refills the center row and a wild 2 appears he keeps the card and refills the row by drawing another card.
At 1:25 you say there are no color matches in DOS but then you make a color match?? I'm very confused by this one statement, otherwise everything seems clear. Otherwise, what is the point of the colors?
This is for people that want to get confused, I'll stick to uno.
Thanks for the video - we had some questions when we started playing based on the somewhat vague instructions. We were playing that the # had to match the color, but could be any number.
Thanks! That helped us ALOT!!!
What an amazing game!
Round one, you can’t just lay down a third center card unless you’ve earned a bonus. You would have to hold on to that card until your next turn.
learning this game is literally twice as hard as uno
Twice
Thanks for teaching me how to plat this game I will teach my friend
Great explain helped a whole lot
Yeah I think I will just stick to phase 10
My family loves Phase 10 and Skip-Bo. I never liked Uno because it was sooo popular in high school and college that it seemed that's all anyone wanted to play. When we would play I would get bored and say, "Can I just add these 2 cards together and play them both for the value of the card on the board?" Well, it only took 2+ decades for someone to decide to give us permission to do that in a game play ;+) A coworker got this game for me for Christmas and my niece and I just played it last night. I told her I should have watched a video tutorial first. This was an excellent video, however, I agree with many that explaining the "no color match" was a bit confusing. I got better clarification reading some other people's comments. Thanks to Kevin12567 (above) for a really good explanation. I'm ready to play again!!
Thank you for explaining this, it really helps when there are examples, so watching a round or two really helps. The only thing I’m still confused on is when do you add to the center pile? And what determines how many cards you add to the center pile? Well, either way, I think I’m going to stick with uno, dos is too confusing for me.
You always have to match the number of a pile, but if you match the color as well you can place a card from your hand in the center row as a new pile. If you use two cards to match the number and they both match color, it's still just one card but all other players also have to draw a card.
The other time you would make a new pile is if you can't (or choose not to) make a match. At this point you draw a card from the deck and have another opportunity to match. If you do not make a match, you place a card from your hand in the center row as a new pile.
Dos is super confusing but also strangely intuitive once you get all the nuances under your belt. That said, Uno is a classic for a reason and it's way easier to understand.
Uno and dos
Uno: IM A BETTER CARD GAME
Dos: NO IM A BETTER CARD GAME
Solitaire: Im better I know the world has 7 billon ppl
Uno and dos: wait cards don’t talk
All: turns back to normal
Thanks a lot!
THANK YOU!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You missed the moment at the end of game one where you were supposed to say DOS, since it says that at any point you have exactly 2, you have to say DOS
Mega Rotom Kind of a weird thing to try to gotcha me for...but also I *did* say it at 5:13 when I went down to two cards at the end of the prior turn. My conscience is clean.
This helped so much
Question once you have called out dos and put 1 card down , and in your next turn u must pick up a card which you end up with 2 card do you need to call out DOS , to avoid penalty?
tysm it helped a lot
05:20 You could've made a double color match there so the other player draws 2 (pair of red 3 and a pair of yellow 3)
Where can i buy DOS? i want to make a brutal weapon with it
Does anyone actually keep score? lol
Thanks for the helpful video!
i actually was just gifted the game today and played it and we really didnt keep score , who ever discarted their cards first won for us
Yeah its fun still
Thank you so much
They should include a link of your video on the next version of the game’s instructions booklet! Thanks!
Question: the instructions say that when you cannot make a move, you need to draw, and then “if you can make a match after drawing, you may do so”. Do you interpret this as a) you can make a match by using ONLY the card you just drew; or b) you may combine the recently drawn card with another one your hand for a match?
Danilo Luna I interpreted it to mean that after you draw the card, you can use any card or cards from your hand to make a match.
Hey - (trying to get my head around this game as well) - based on the rules at 2mins only a single card is added to the Centre Row and the Left (right to you) player would draw one
Thank you!
