In DOS, players match cards from their hand to face-up cards in the center by number. You can play single cards or combine two cards that add up to a center card's number. Matching both number and color allows placing extra cards and forcing opponents to draw. The goal is to be the first to discard all cards and score points based on opponents' remaining cards. Remember to shout "Dos!" when you have two cards left.
Who Is This Game For?
DOS is a family-friendly card game with simple hand-management mechanics for 2 to 4 players aged 7 and up. With a playtime around 45 minutes, it suits players looking for a quick and accessible game. Prior experience with UNO can help but isn't necessary.
How It Works
Each turn, you play cards from your hand that match the numbers of face-up cards in the center row. You can play one card per center card or combine two cards whose sum matches a center card. If both number and color match, you get to play extra cards and make opponents draw cards. The round ends when a player discards all cards, scoring points for opponents' leftover cards. Play continues until a player reaches 200 points.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Nick Hayes, DOS officially continues the popular UNO card game series. It adds new elements to the classic formula by allowing card combinations and extra actions. Part of the UNO family, DOS offers a fresh variation for fans of the original.
