This new offering is the result of a collaboration between BMW, Mattel, and [AirConsole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-x-airconsole). “UNO Car Party!” is designed to integrate seamlessly with BMW and [MINI](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-3) vehicles, leveraging AirConsole’s advanced technology to ensure a smooth experience. The game allows up to four players to use their smartphones or tablets as controllers, providing individual privacy to avoid showing other players their deck. This transformation enhances the passenger experience by providing a highly interactive and engaging entertainment option during travel. “UNO beautifully illustrates the strengths of AirConsole with a game accessible to everyone, a bespoke integration to the car hardware and our phone-controlled gaming experience,” said Anthony Cliquot, CEO of AirConsole.
