Uno Ultimate is essentially an advanced, detailed form of Uno where more gameplay elements have been added, such as combat, booster packs, and unique decks. The limited-edition Marvel set of Uno Ultimate decks will include four superhero-themed decks, one 'Danger Deck,' and a number of booster packs that will be released at a later date. The four superhero-themed decks will each be based on one single superhero. These four superheroes are 'Black Panther,' 'Iron Man,' 'Captain Marvel,' and 'Thor.' The game will be playable by two to four players at a time. Each player will work together, or against each other, to tackle the Danger Deck, which is full of unique events and enemies to overcome.
