To William Low and Nels Snesrud, since you have played our previous episode, please refrain from signing up.

Matthew Ellwart is no longer with us, so I need 3 new players to get this game started!

Shadoe: You have seen this game throughout various themes around the world...



...but not like this! For the first time ever, it's time for the game show where one card can literally mean the difference between winning a fortune or losing it all, it's...



Audience: UNO!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

Shadoe: And now, please welcome your "one" and only host...Dayo Kayode!

(DK appears behind the game screen)

(Louder Cheers and Applause)



DK: Thank you! First of all, let's give it up to the one and only Shadoe Stevens!



Shadoe: Thank you, Dayo! And Happy New Year!

DK: Yes, indeed! And Happy New Year to you, Shadoe! Yes, folks. It's the new decade, and boy, have we got a good one for you tonight! Welcome to UNO, the greatest card game in the whole wide world! If you don't know UNO, let me quickly fill you in. This is a game where you have to discard all of your cards before your opponents do to score the win. Well, tonight, we're going to do just that, but this time, our players will be playing for cash and prizes worth over $1.7 Million!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

And of course, I can't do it alone. I've got some people to back me up in case things get out of hand...it's the Smosh Games crew, both current and former!



It's the original Smosh crew: Ian, Anthony, Mari, Sohinki, Jovenshire and Lasercorn!

(Wild Cheers and Applause)

They are all going to be our referees for tonight's big game. And no, I'm not referring to the Super Bowl, mind you. Now, are you guys ready to go?

Smosh Crew: YES!

DK: Well, I sure am as well. Let's bring out the players, let's do it!

(Players run out from backstage and to center stage to meet me and the original Smosh crew)

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

Shadoe: Dayo, our contestants for tonight's game are Danny Margulis, Patrick Huynh, and Matt Ringgenberg!

(More Cheers and Applause)

DK: Thank you, Shadoe! These 3 players are going to embark on a journey like no other, and in the end, only one of them will come out on top and earn the right to go to the Bonus Bonanza to hopefully make it to the Power Pyramid for a chance to win the Grand Progressive Jackpot!

Who's it going to be? Well, we're going to take a short break, and when we come back, the festivities will begin as we kick off our newly updated version of Uno: The Game Show! Don't go away!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

[dad90]

[dad90]

(Cheers and Applause)

Welcome back to the first show of the 2020 updated version of Uno: The Game Show! And now, we're ready to play the game!

DANNY <-----> PATRICK <-----> MATT

0000 <-----> 0000 <-----> 0000

$0000 <-----> $0000 <-----> $0000

Our players are in their respective podiums with referees Ian, Anthony and Jovenshire on their side, keeping everything in check.

Now we're going to talk to you guys later on in the show, but right now, let's play the game! And whenever there's a game, there's some rules! And the rules goes a little bit of something like this:

The main object of the game is to score points, as well as cash and prizes, by eliminating all of the cards in your hand first before your opponents do. Before each round begins, our players will have their cards dealt by our referees during the commercial break. They know their cards, but they don't know their opponents' cards, and a good way to win the round is to study your foes, as well as studying the cards. Now, before the show began, a new team of Lab Rats from Tandem Technologies, a RANDOM.ORG company, were the ones responsible of shuffling the cards for 2 minutes non-stop before sealing the deck and giving to them to Mari. She then unsealed the deck, and one of our producers, at random, give the deck a good cut.

In fact, speaking of cards, each player has 7 cards to begin with at the start of each round, like in the normal game.

BUT! Here's something exclusive that we, and only we people do here on Uno: The Game Show, and that's by giving you players a Head Start!

(Audience Oohs)

In other words, before you even begin playing the cards, you have a chance to discard all BUT ONE of your cards from your hand. And you could even pick up some cash along the way!

And the way we do that is by answering questions. I have 3 questions in my hand, players, and after giving out the Multiple-Choices and then the question, you will then buzz-in. You will have 24 hours to answer the question the moment you buzz-in, and we must accept your first response. If you're right, not only you'll score 100 points, but you'll also get to discard 2 cards from your hand and our referees will put them at the bottom of the deck.

But be careful, because if you're wrong, or if you miss the deadline, you must add 1 more card to your hand from the top of the deck, and the other players can buzz in and steal.

So, you can start the round with as little as 1 card, or as much as 10.

And now, here's a little twist!

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

In front of you is a board with 12 numbers and behind each of them are numbers 1-4 and a WILD card. I'll talk about the WILD card when someone picks it. Whatever number is revealed, we'll multiply that by $50 and that's the value of how much that question will be when you get it right.

Now, we drew numbers backstage to see who will go first since we have 3 new challengers, and Matt, you'll get to start us off by choosing one of the 12 numbers on the board.

[mringgenberg]

5

[dad90]

And behind #5 is...

[1] [2] [3] [4] [1] [6]
[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

a 1, so this is for $50 and 100 points to whoever gets this question right.

So here we go with the first question of the first round of UNO! Good luck to all 3 of you.

"The Graduate"
"Swiss Family Robinson"
"The Sound of Music"

Tell me what movie features the song "Ms. Robinson"?

Danny: 6
Patrick: 17
Matt: 9

Magic #: 32

(Buzz-In!)

And Patrick buzzes in! What's your answer?

[Deleted]

That will be The Graduate.

[dad90]

The Graduate is correct!

"The Graduate"
"Swiss Family Robinson"
"The Sound of Music"

(Audience Applause)

Patrick, you'll get to discard 2 cards from your hand and put them in the bottom of the deck.

CARDS TOTAL:

DANNY: 7
PATRICK: 5
MATT: 7

[1] [2] [3] [4] [UNO] [6]
[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

And Patrick, for getting that question right, you'll get to make the next selection.

[Deleted]

3

[dad90]

And behind #3 is...

[1] [2] [1] [4] [UNO] [6]
[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

another 1. Again, for $50 and 100 points, here's the next question.

The Pretenders
Fleetwood Mac
Heart

Which rock band features Chrissie Hynde?

Danny: 16
Patrick: 10
Matt: 28

Magic #: 95

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

Heart?

[dad90]

Heart is wrong, I'm afraid.

The Pretenders
Fleetwood Mac
Heart

Anyone else?

(Buzz-In!)

And Danny buzzes in! What's your answer?

[gameshowfandanny]

Fleetwood Mac.

[dad90]

Fleetwood Mac is also wrong.

The Pretenders
Fleetwood Mac
Heart

The correct answer was The Pretenders.

You know, Hynde formed The Pretenders in 1978 with Pete Farndon, James Honeyman-Scott and Martin Chambers. She has also released a number of songs with other musicians including Frank Sinatra, Cher and UB40, and she released the solo album Stockholm in 2014. Hynde was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005 as a member of The Pretenders. She performed at Live Aid in 1985.

So, whenever this happens, the last remaining person gets the cash and the points by default, and in this case, it's Patrick.

(Audience Applause)

Patrick, you'll get to discard 2 more cards from your hand and put them in the bottom of the deck.

But for Danny and Matt, however, you'll both add 1 more card from the top of the deck and into your hand.

CARDS TOTAL:

DANNY: 8
PATRICK: 3
MATT: 8

[1] [2] [UNO] [4] [UNO] [6]
[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

Patrick, you'll get to choose one more number.

[Deleted]

Lucky 7.

[dad90]

And behind #7 is...

[1] [2] [UNO] [4] [UNO] [6]
[2] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

a 2 this time. That means that this question's for $100 and 100 points. Here's the question.

Parker Stevenson & Kirstie Alley
Bruce Willis & Demi Moore
Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson

Tell me of these 3, which couple is still happily married?

Danny: 26
Patrick: 4
Matt: 43

Magic #: 96

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson

[dad90]

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson is the correct couple!

Parker Stevenson & Kirstie Alley
Bruce Willis & Demi Moore
Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson

(Audience Applause)

Matt, you'll get to discard 2 cards from your hand and put them in the bottom of the deck.

CARDS TOTAL:

DANNY: 8
PATRICK: 3
MATT: 6

And incidentally, I almost forget about a few new things we've added here.

CLEAN SWEEP BONUS: $2500
ALL ROUNDS CLEARED JACKPOT: $10,000

During the Headstart Portion of the round, if any one player answers all the questions correctly, including the one question for control of the round, then that's a Clean Sweep, and will earn the Bonus of what's in there. It starts at $2,500 and increases the Pot by $500 each time it isn't won, and since Matt got that last question right, that blocked Patrick from getting the Bonus, so it now stands at:

CLEAN SWEEP BONUS: $3000
ALL ROUNDS CLEARED JACKPOT: $10,000

(Bell Clangs)

$3,000. And if one of you players win all 4 rounds of the Main Game, and you'll get the All Rounds Cleared Jackpot, which starts at $10,000, and it will increase by $2,500 every time it isn't won.

Now that I got that out of the way, we've finished the Headstart Portion of the Round, which Danny has 8 cards, Patrick has 3 cards, and Matt has 6 cards. Remember those numbers, players.

Now, we're about to deal out the cards, but first, let's explain on how this main portion of the round works. And also, here's a video to those of you who don't know what UNO is about.



The traditional rules of UNO is applied, which a card can be covered with the same number or the same color, or a Wild card. If you don't have a match or if you don't want to play, you must draw a card. From there, you can play that card or pass (if you can't or if you want to, that's up to you). If you could play and chose to draw a card though, you can't play another card than the one you've just drawn.



Now, in addition to all of the numbered cards in the deck, there are 32 Action cards in the deck: 8 Skip, 8 Reverse, 8 Draw +2, 4 Wild and 4 Wild Draw +4 cards. For the first 2 rounds, only 14 of them will be used: 4 Skip, 4 Reverse, 4 Draw +2, 1 Wild and 1 Wild Draw +4 to make things fair. But that will change when the game progresses, especially in the Head-to-Head showdown. We'll talk about that later.

That's a total of 90 cards to deal with, and since that we have 17 of them out in the open...

DANNY <-----> PATRICK <-----> MATT

0000 <-----> 200 <-----> 100

$0000 <-----> $100 <-----> $100

DRAW PILE: 73

There are 73 cards left in the Draw pile, and that is actually important, because if the Draw pile is empty, or if time runs out, or if any one of you plays the last card (after doing the Golden Rule), then the round ends, and the scoring system will come into play.

SCORING:

0-9 = 0-9 Points
Skip = 20 Points
Reverse = 20 Points
Draw +2 = 20 Points
Wild / Wild Draw Four = 50 Points

PRIZES:

0-9 = $0-$900 Cash
Skip, Reverse, Draw +2 = PRIZE
Wild / Wild Draw Four = LUXURY PRIZE

That will come into effect to the one lucky player who finishes the hand in that round. However, if, in any round, we're out of time or the Draw pile is empty, the round ends, then the player with the least amount of cards is the winner. He will be awarded with 100 points, along with the additional points from his own hand, but the total will then be deducted from each of the opponents' hands, and the winner wins the remaining points and 100 times that total in cash.

Now, we need to find out who gets to start this round, and in order to do that, I have one more question here, and this is for control of the round. Good luck to you players, and here's the set of answers...

Dog
Bird
Bear

And here's the question.

On "Blue's Clues", which animal is Blue?

Danny: 60
Patrick: 26
Matt: 59

Magic: 2

(Buzz-In!)

And Patrick buzzes in! What's your answer?

[Deleted]

That is a dog.

[dad90]

A Dog is correct!

Dog
Bird
Bear

(Audience Applause)

DANNY -----> PATRICK -----> MATT

0000 -----> 200 -----> 100

$0000 -----> $100 -----> $100

DRAW PILE: 73

LAST CARD PLAYED: [-----]

Now Patrick, you've won the right to have control. Now, here's another question. Would you like to go first, or would you like Matt to go first, because the first step is to take the first card out of the Draw pile, and that will determine which card to start off with.

Now...

[RED]

[YELLOW]

[BLUE]

[GREEN]

In order for you to play a card properly, first you must say the rank of the card, and of course, color that card as shown up above here. Please check your PM's often!

[WILD] [WILD +4]

Wild cards are shown like this, and then you can determine the color of which to play next.

BUT! Be careful when you play the Wild Draw Four card, my friends. That card cannot be used properly if you can play a colored card instead, because if you choose to do so, your victim can check your hand and even expose it all to everyone out there, and to you folks at home as well, to see if you had the right to use it.

If you were right to do so, then the victim must draw SIX cards instead of four.

(Audience Oohs)

But if you did it wrong, YOU have to take four cards instead of your opponent.

(Louder Oohs)

And of course, players, we have the Golden Rule: Whenever you have one card left in your hand at any time, you MUST say...

Audience: UNO!

Because if your opponent does that before you, you MUST draw two cards from the pile. Assuming that you are unable to play/discard your last card and needs to draw, but after drawing, is then able to play/discard that penultimate card, you have to repeat the action of calling out “UNO”. The bottom line is – Announcing “UNO” needs to be repeated every time you are left with one card.

So Patrick, are you going to take the first card from the Draw Pile to play first, or would you like Matt to do that?

[Deleted]

I’ll take the first card from the draw pile.

[dad90]

And the first card from the top of the deck is...

[2]

a Blue 2.

DRAW PILE: 72

LAST CARD PLAYED: [2]

OK Patrick, now choose a card from your hand to play and reply here, and if you can't do that, you must draw a card.

Also, to all players, if you don't respond within 24 hours, you'll automatically draw a card as well.

[Deleted]

I’ll draw.

[dad90]

Patrick, take a look at the PM and tell me whether you want to play that card or pass.

[Deleted]

I’ll play that card.
