Uno is a trademarked iterations of Crazy Eights

i asked tombot because i believe he would know to explain it in a way that didnt make me have more questions, a fence that unfortunately youve broken a leg on there

look i believe you know full well the spirit in which i asked for clarification

Sorry I was posting briefly while eating a grilled cheese sandwich (which I believe the English call a “cheese toastie”)Crazy Eights is a card game from the “shedding” family, where a player plays a card to the top of a central pile on their turn that matches the card below by suit or rank. Eights are wild, hence “Crazy Eights”. If unable to play a card, one draws cards until a playable one is drawn. The first player to play their last card wins.Uno is the same game, but with some extra nonsense like cards that reverse the turn order, force the next player to draw cards, and the requirement that one say “Uno!” when one holds only one more card.imago I played Mao a fair bit in high school. (Mao is Crazy Eights, but with extra rules, and the rules may not be disclosed to new players but must be inferred from play, and the winner of a round gets to add a rule, which the other players must infer through play. It is a game for the scrupulous-yet-vindictive.)

ok
from that helpful description i can essay that 25 is like that crossed with rummy crossed with poker and is a deathly serious fuckin game in the parishes of rural ireland

silby did you have the point of order rule, that was a doozy
― imago, Friday, 21 September 2018 01:26 (six years ago) link
Yeah Uno is played by children and tolerant adults. Mao is played by teenagers in gifted and talented programs.

I’m probably only not a lawyer (darragh: solicitor?) because I learned to program computers, is the takeaway here
― faculty w1fe (silby), Friday, 21 September 2018 01:29 (six years ago) link
The other shedding game popular in my high school was Capitalism (aka President, Asshole) which is more interesting than Uno/Crazy Eights but probably more random and less interesting than any rummy variant.

i see you translating perfectly comprehensible terms you tart
― Dmac TT (darraghmac), Friday, 21 September 2018 01:31 (six years ago) link
tho the concept of hypercontextualising every such term when broadcasting yank movies/tv over here is a good one, ripe with possibilities

If the Edinburgh Fringe hasn't hosted a gay version of Pygmalion, in Scots, called "My Fair Laddie", more than once, I'd be astonished.

It was a literary reference to the Faerie Queene. It is high brow stuff I would not expect ILXors to comprehend.

Lads
grilled cheese is a misnomer, as it is typically made on a griddle rather than a grill; even if you were to make it on a grill it would be the bread that got grilled; the cheese is merely melted
