Though this is satire, we’ve all had that experience where we played a game (many times, even!) and only found out later that we got the rules massively wrong. Share your experience!

    In the same way with any other light / party game, you’re lucky if even one person at the table has ever read the actual rulebook. Given that, it’s not surprising everybody thinks they’re playing UNO the ‘right’ way.

    Also: Calvinball is amazing.

      Unsurprising, but mildly infuriating to my autistic ass.

      I consider penny poker, or blackjack/21, to be light party games.

      Been playing those games with friends and family since I was a kid.

      Texas Hold’em rules for poker, declared at the start.

      Either very low or no stakes, you either literally play with pennies, or just everyone gets say 50 completely worthless plastic chips, or just nothing.

      If most people were in such a texas holdem or blackjack game and then started inventing or arguing over rules… this would generally be very obviously viewed as bullshit, unnaceptable, not normalized.

      But… with Uno… this is not the case.
