Organizers say the idea is to turn one of the world’s most recognizable card games into a social experience that brings strangers together through a little healthy competition.
“At the heart of UNO is a simple truth: play brings people together,” Katie Buford, Vice President and global head of Mattel Games, said in a news release.
