Uno (/ ˈ uː n oʊ /; from Spanish and Italian for 'one'), stylized as UNO, is a proprietary American shedding-type card game originally developed in 1971 by Merle Robbins in Reading, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, that housed International Games Inc., a gaming company acquired by Mattel on January 23, 1992.
Uno Flip! (/ ˈ uː n oʊ /; from Italian and Spanish for 'one') is an American shedding-type card game produced by Mattel. [3] The cards from the deck are specially printed for the game. This game is a variation of Uno. [4] Uno Flip! should not be confused with a dexterity-based game called Uno Flip. [5] [6]
An alternate rule allows this card to be played without penalty if the total ends in zero, in which case it functions identically to the Hold card. The 2022 edition increased the number of ONO 99 cards in the deck to ten and introduced a new rule that allows the player holding four of these to discard their entire hand and draw four new cards.
By the end of 2024, Mattel will release “well over” 50 new editions of Uno, Adler says. Most of these will be variants, with only two or three each year having significant changes to gameplay.
But for the estimated 300 million people around the world who have color blindness, playing by the rules can potentially be near impossible, and Mattel is working to change that.
Uno Attack comes with a special mechanical card launcher that runs on 3 C batteries. The card shooter contains a receptacle where the deck of cards is placed, and a button on the front, known as the "Launcher Button". When the rules call for a player to "Hit" the card shooter, the player presses the button on the card shooter.
