UNO is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and Mattel has released limited-edition cards to commemorate it.
New UNO decks have been created with new eye-catching designs and offer new inclusive and accessibility decks. Decks like the Iconic Series pay homage to UNO games throughout the decades; art, fashion, and sport-related decks will provide players with new rules to the game; and The Limited-Edition 50th Anniversary premium card set comes with a golden coin and a new specialty card, the '50/50'.
A series of player-centered participatory events have launched to kick off the celebration, like the UNO Championship, UNO mobile tournament, and instant win sweepstakes.
