NEW Mattel UNO Card Game - Braille Edition

Mattel and the National Federation of the Blind have partnered together to create a Braille edition of UNO, the iconic family card game. 

UNO has always prided itself on being a card game for everyone, but often blind and low-vision people found it difficult to participate. Now, with easily readable Braille dots on every card, blind and low-vision players can participate in the fun. 

All players call out the cards they play during the game, and blind players may touch the discard pile to verify the card in play or call for a “Card Check” to determine how many cards are in each player’s hands. It all adds up to an inclusive experience for everyone!

UNO Braille works with your Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant!

Just ask your Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to launch UNO Braille, and they will provide an audible tutorial of how to play the game. The tutorial is interactive, so you may ask questions as they walk you step by step through a few rounds of play. Or, if you know how to play but just have a question about action cards, how to score, or other rules of the game they can provide the answers!

You can also check out UNOBraille.com to access audible and printable braille instructions! 

Colours and decorations may vary.

Brief Game History

Invented in 1971 by barber Merle Robbins in Reading, Ohio the owner and card game enthusiast, who created the game and sold the original version out of his barbershop. Over Thanksgiving weekend in 1971, the game caught the attention of Robert Tezak — owner of a funeral parlor in Joliet — who became hooked. The following year, Tezak made a deal with Robbins to take over UNO, and International Games was formed. 

Following decades of massive success, International Games was acquired by Mattel in 1992 and UNO has remained a smash hit ever since. Mattel says that 17 decks are sold every minute as UNO is now available in more than 80 countries around the world.
