domestic violence over an Uno card game. (she killed him for dropping 2x +4 wilds.)

I don't really get it either.

I... guess it's funny if you know Uno?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

so, briefly, Uno... you divvy out a stack of cards. each card has a number value and a color (or are wild here.), or do something (reverse play order, and stuf.) The card being played means the next person has to pick up 4 cards. the goal is to drop all your cards.

the "joke" is, she killed him for that. I don't particularly find jokes about domestic violence funny.

Joke is about getting unreasonably mad over a game

That's the unreasonable part

You can't stack +4 cards, that's not how it works

Welcome to Uno where the rules are made up and the points don't count!

We used to play with the house rule that draws stack and transfer until the player is unable to play some kind of deflection. Nothing like sending grandma packing with a Draw 16 stack! (Who am I kidding, granny was the one always whipping our asses at cards! 😭)

He's not stacking them, he played one, it skipped the other person's turn, and he played another.

But between two plus 4 must be at least on different card.

... BITCHES

It's not a stack. Two players are playing, the +4 also skips the turn of the player it affects. The person who played the +4 is then allowed to play any valid card such as a +4 wild.

Uno comes with multiple rule sets (or did last I acquired one). At least one of them allows stacking and deflection of draw cards.
