The 50th Anniversary Edition introduces an exciting new game mechanic with the special 50/50 card and commemorative gold coin:

How It Works:

1. When a player plays the special 50/50 card, they call out "Fifty Years of Wild!"

2. The player then flips the commemorative gold coin.

3. If the coin lands on the UNO logo side, the next player must draw 5 cards.

4. If the coin lands on the 50th anniversary side, the player who played the 50/50 card must draw 5 cards.

5. After drawing cards, play continues with the next player in sequence.

This special rule adds an element of chance and excitement that perfectly commemorates UNO's 50-year legacy of bringing fun and unpredictability to game nights around the world.

The 50/50 card can only be played on a matching colour or on another 50/50 card, similar to number cards in the standard game.

The UNO 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition is a must-have for collectors and fans of the iconic card game:

Limited Production: As a commemorative edition marking UNO's golden anniversary, this set was produced in limited quantities, making it increasingly valuable to collectors.

Premium Components: The deluxe cards feature a special velvety finish that distinguishes them from standard UNO cards, whilst the sleek black design with gold accents creates a sophisticated aesthetic.

Commemorative Coin: The included gold medallion is specially designed for this anniversary edition and serves both as a collector's item and a functional game component.

Historical Significance: This edition celebrates five decades of UNO, which has become one of the most recognised and beloved card games worldwide since its creation in 1971.

Display Value: The premium packaging makes this set ideal for display in a game collection, with its distinctive gold-accented black box that stands out from standard UNO editions.

For preserving collector value, it's recommended to handle the cards and coin with care, and consider keeping the packaging in good condition.

UNO was invented in 1971 by Merle Robbins, a barber from Reading, Ohio. Robbins created the game to resolve a dispute about the rules of Crazy Eights and initially sold copies of UNO from his barbershop.

The game caught the attention of Robert Tezak over Thanksgiving weekend in 1971, who became hooked on it. The following year, Tezak made a deal with Robbins to take over UNO, and International Games was formed to produce and market the card game.

Following decades of massive success, International Games was acquired by Mattel in 1992, and UNO has remained a global phenomenon ever since. According to Mattel, approximately 17 decks are sold every minute worldwide.

Today, UNO is available in more than 80 countries and has expanded to include numerous themed editions. The 50th Anniversary Edition celebrates this remarkable journey from a small barbershop in Ohio to becoming one of the world's most beloved card games, played by millions of families across generations.

Setup: Each player is dealt 7 cards, and the remaining cards form a draw pile. The top card is turned over to start the discard pile.

Gameplay: Players take turns placing a card from their hand onto the discard pile. The card must match either the colour or the number/symbol of the card on top of the discard pile. If a player cannot play a card, they must draw a card from the draw pile.

Special Cards:

• Skip Card: When played, the next person in line loses their turn.

• Reverse Card: Reverses the direction of play.

• Draw Two Card: Forces the next player to draw two cards and lose their turn.

• Wild Card: Allows the player to choose any colour for the next player to match.

• Wild Draw Four Card: Allows the player to choose any colour and forces the next player to draw four cards and lose their turn.

• 50/50 Card (Anniversary Edition): When played, flip the commemorative coin to determine whether you or the next player draws 5 cards.

Winning: When a player has only one card left, they must yell "UNO!" If they don't and are caught, they must draw two cards. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins the round.
