Dos Card Game Rules and Gameplay Demo

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

God that sound when you play the cards is oddly satisfying.

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.

This is the third video I've watched on this game and the only one that made it make sense. Thanks for making this!

[Soldierdeath]

I could’ve read the instructions a hundred times and wouldn’t have gotten it. Thank-you

[ryougah]

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_

Who honestly keeps track of their points?!? Lol. My family just plays to see who wins lol.

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.

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 YouTube. This is buy far the best explaination I found. Thank you for making this.

I bet next year, there will be another one called Tres

[benalder]

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.

[WingedFire]

i guess you could say that dos is *TWICE* as hard as uno!

anyone?


...ill see myself out

[GamerAlexYT]

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

[jrpurdon]

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 😁

[GigaMan]

Thank you for the gameplay demo. That's all I needed to fully understand this game.

[supriyalal]

The ONLY explanation video that made sense 😂 and got through my head!! 😊 well done! thanks x

[yordansic]

This makes so much sense now. It actually looks kind of fun now that I’m seeing a demo of it.

[dyg.elfarizzaabgbadwie]

the whole video explains everything about DOS game. & now I finally can play w the right rules

[GigiLuvsSing]

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!!

God bless you for explaining these rules!
Much better than Mattel’s video.

I’m someone who learns by seeing an example, so this was perfect for me. Thank you, you were very informative (:
