DOS

DOS is a dynamic and fun card game that brings a new perspective to the classic UNO. The aim is simple: get rid of all your cards before the other players do and collect points with the cards left in their hand. During your turn, strategy is key. You can place cards that match the numbers on the cards displayed in the center of the table or even create combinations that add up to the desired number. An interesting twist is that if you manage to play a combination that matches the number and color, you can unlock even more moves and make your opponents draw extra cards! And don't forget: when you're down to two cards, shout "Dos!" to avoid taking more cards into your hand. The games are fast-paced and full of surprises, with the round ending as soon as one player discards all their cards. The game continues until someone reaches 200 points, crowning the winner of the match. DOS is perfect for those who like games that mix strategy and fun in a light-hearted atmosphere. If you're looking for a way to liven up your next get-together with friends or family, DOS is the right choice.

OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME

The main objective of the DOS card game, released as a sequel to the popular UNO, is to be the first player to get rid of all the cards in their hand. Unlike UNO, where matching is done based on color or number, in DOS players must match the cards in their hands with two discard piles in the center of the table, giving the possibility of pairing based on added numbers, which adds a unique strategy. I remember a fun afternoon with my friends when I realized that, by carefully observing the piles, I was able to make combinations that completely changed the course of the game - that win was memorable! DOS thus offers an extra layer of tactics and planning, making every match exciting and full of surprises.

Tips for playing

Here are some tips for doing better in the game DOS:

  • Start by accumulating a few cards with different numbers. This will increase your playing options.
  • Look at the other players' cards. This can help you predict their moves.
  • If you have a joker, save it for strategic moments when you can really turn the tide.
  • Focus on closing a sequence or combination of numbers quickly to reduce the cards in your hand.
  • If you have cards matching the number in play, play them together to gain an advantage.
  • Pay attention to the cards in play. This helps you work out which cards are still in the deck or in your opponents' hands.
  • Spend a few seconds planning your future moves. Having a plan can put you ahead of other players.

GAME mechanics

  • Hand Management - In the DOS game, each player starts with an initial number of cards and must manage these cards in order to win the game. The main objective is to empty your hand. The cards played must match in number or color with the cards in the center of the game. This mechanic requires players to make strategic decisions about which cards to play each turn, maximizing the chances of reducing their hand quickly while minimizing their opponents' opportunities to do the same. The ability to predict the impact of your moves and guess what cards other players have in hand complements the effective management of your own hand.
