short because it thumbs up, fives the rate and shares with your friends.

4
00:00:13,657 --> 00:00:17,497
And today we're going to talk about playing Uno.

5
00:00:17,997 --> 00:00:20,957
Like, how do you say that in Polish? Gra nie w Uno.

6
00:00:21,617 --> 00:00:24,297
Gra? Gra nie w Uno. Nie w Uno.

7
00:00:25,077 --> 00:00:29,037
Gra nie w Uno. Nie w Uno. Gra nie w Uno.

8
00:00:30,377 --> 00:00:36,877
It sounds strange to me, but okay. So, my game was played many times,

9
00:00:37,057 --> 00:00:38,777
right? It was very good, right?

10
00:00:39,057 --> 00:00:43,137
So, the first one was a normal one, a red box.

11
00:00:43,677 --> 00:00:46,677
And Daniel has this card.

12
00:00:47,737 --> 00:00:54,617
So, we'll explain how to play, yeah? So, everything has seven cards, right?

13
00:00:54,837 --> 00:00:57,117
Seven cards. Seven cards.

14
00:00:57,617 --> 00:00:59,377
Cards. New cards. Cards.

15
00:01:00,357 --> 00:01:03,697
Two cards, one card. Okay, thanks.

16
00:01:04,397 --> 00:01:09,437
And there are a few, for example, it can be plus four.

17
00:01:09,977 --> 00:01:13,677
And when you do it, you have to say what color.

18
00:01:13,937 --> 00:01:17,637
You have to choose a color? Yes, because, for example, when it says blue,

19
00:01:18,577 --> 00:01:22,977
I have plus two, then it will be plus six.

20
00:01:23,097 --> 00:01:28,277
But when you say, for example, red, I don't have red, I can't do this card.

21
00:01:28,277 --> 00:01:36,577
And other cards are, for example, when Daniel has three reds,

22
00:01:36,757 --> 00:01:42,077
I can be all red or all number three, right?

23
00:01:42,857 --> 00:01:46,817
And this card, zero, what is it?

24
00:01:47,797 --> 00:01:53,517
It's that you lose a turn. You miss a turn, right? You lose a turn, right?

25
00:01:53,817 --> 00:01:56,837
A turn. A turn, OK. And then there's another?

26
00:01:57,277 --> 00:02:05,177
OK. So that is like 4 colors. So when you have this card, it can be all colors, right?

27
00:02:05,457 --> 00:02:10,377
You can choose any color you want. And your opponent must give this color.

28
00:02:10,477 --> 00:02:12,777
And if there is none, he must take it from the card.

29
00:02:13,857 --> 00:02:15,497
And this card...

30
00:02:17,095 --> 00:02:20,515
For those just listening, it looks like you're shuffling the deck.

31
00:02:21,395 --> 00:02:26,435
To exchange, because I remember one time you had 15 cards and I had 3.

32
00:02:27,135 --> 00:02:30,435
And you make this card and then you have to do half and half,

33
00:02:30,435 --> 00:02:32,655
right? So you have to mix the cards.

34
00:02:33,095 --> 00:02:35,255
Yes, and this one is very good, right?

35
00:02:36,235 --> 00:02:43,555
And I also have Dos Express, which doesn't say... Oh, is that Uno, normal?

36
00:02:44,295 --> 00:02:48,815
When you have the last card, you have to say Uno. When you don't say it,

37
00:02:49,015 --> 00:02:51,835
you have to say... I took five cards. Five cards.

38
00:02:52,115 --> 00:02:57,315
And this is Dos. It's also good. You have to say Dos when you have Dos cards, right?

39
00:02:57,815 --> 00:03:00,495
When you have two cards. Two. I'm sorry.

40
00:03:02,035 --> 00:03:08,855
Then, this is just Avengers. This is a card with just good pictures, right?

41
00:03:08,955 --> 00:03:12,555
But it's like normal. You have photos and everything is normal.

42
00:03:13,635 --> 00:03:20,235
Yes. You only have photos. But you like it too, right? And now I have Uno Flip.

43
00:03:20,775 --> 00:03:26,135
For me it's very good, right? Because Uno game is normal.

44
00:03:27,215 --> 00:03:34,015
It's a very nice color. But there's a card that does...

45
00:03:34,555 --> 00:03:40,175
Of course I don't know where it is. But there's K.O.T.O.F. This is a flip card.

46
00:03:40,175 --> 00:03:46,735
When you flip, you turn all the cards.

47
00:03:47,115 --> 00:03:49,275
Yes, and that's cool, isn't it?

48
00:03:49,895 --> 00:03:52,415
And we play a lot of this too.

49
00:03:53,435 --> 00:04:01,035
And the last one, I think it's more, but we have it. It's Uno Dare, right?

50
00:04:01,435 --> 00:04:05,975
And there are a few cards, for example, number 8 Dare. Dare,

51
00:04:06,015 --> 00:04:12,135
the dare for example is act like a dog until your next turn.

52
00:04:12,255 --> 00:04:16,375
In Polish it's... Pretend that you're a dog until the next turn.

53
00:04:17,375 --> 00:04:21,075
Okay. Or pretend you're underwater until your next turn.

54
00:04:21,275 --> 00:04:26,095
Pretend that you're underwater until the next turn. That's it.

55
00:04:27,535 --> 00:04:34,715
So, and Uno likes it a lot. Yes. And he goes to school too. With friends at home too. Yes.

56
00:04:48,135 --> 00:04:52,855
So we would recommend that you start playing Uno. And it's not just for kids.

57
00:04:53,035 --> 00:04:55,595
It's adults play Uno as well. It's a very enjoyable game.

58
00:04:55,775 --> 00:04:59,315
