All Types of Uno Card Games and Spinoffs

Since UNO was invented in 1971 by Merle Robbins, it has grown to be a worldwide phenomenon. Over its 50-year history, International Games and later, Mattel, experimented with all sorts of different versions of Uno and created a slew of spinoffs. At this point, it is difficult to keep track of all of the different types of Uno card games and spinoffs. However, this page lists every type, edition, deck, version, and theme pack of Uno cards and spinoffs to date. It is by far the most complete catalog of Uno games in existence. You can find more information on the newest Uno games here.

How Many Types of Uno Card Games Are There?

Uno Theme Packs

Starting in 1997, Mattel began licensing other properties to use with their UNO brand. This has resulted in hundreds of different types of Uno decks that cater to just about any fan.

For the first few years of making Uno theme packs, the theme packs were simply a deck of standard Uno cards with artwork reflecting the licensed property. However, Mattel soon started making these decks unique by adding wild cards that have an effect in addition to changing the color of play. Most of these themed Uno decks have 112 card instead of the traditional 108 Uno cards.

The rules for the unique Wild cards for many of these Uno decks can be found on the Unique Wild Cards Rules page.

Uno theme packs are so popular among fans of the Uno themes that many fake Uno card games have also been created. You can learn more about how to spot fake Uno cards here.

Marvel/DC Superhero Uno Cards

Beginning with the release of Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man movie in 2002, superheros have been a staple for Uno theme packs, with new superhero Uno sets releasing regularly. The latest superhero theme pack was released to coincide with the release of Avengers: Endgame.

Disney Uno Cards

Disney is a multimedia juggernaut and has partnered with Mattel to create a regular stream of Disney-themed Uno cards. Although some of the Pixar Uno sets predate Disney's acquisition of Pixar in 2006, they are included here as they are now under Disney's ever growing IP umbrella.

For Marvel Uno decks, see Marvel/DC Superhero Uno Cards.

TV Series Uno Cards

TV series provide a rich medium for Uno sets as the majority of the assets and artwork already exist. Consequently, in addition to the many Disney TV shows that are featured on Uno cards, Mattel has released Uno sets featuring everything from classic Betty Boop to 4 sets featuring The Simpsons.

Movie-Themed Uno Cards

Uno sets are frequently released around the time of a movie's launch as both a form of promotion for the movie and to capitalize on the movie's popularity to sell Uno cards. However, there are some notable exceptions to this rule, such as the 2018 release of Uno cards for the original 1984 version of Ghostbusters. Interestingly, this set was released two years after Uno cards representing the commercially unsuccessful 2016 remake of Ghostbusters. The Harry Potter film series also appears to be evergreen, as it has spawned 5 different sets of Uno cards, the latest released in 2018 to coincide with the release of Fantastic Beasts 2: The Crimes of Grindelwold.

Sports-Themed Uno Cards

Who doesn't love to support their favorite sports team by buying any and all merchandise featuring their team? In 2003, Mattel, through its partner, Sababa Toys, began creating Uno games for Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. Sababa Toys expanded their line of sports-themed Uno decks a few years later by creating Uno cards for National Basketball Association (NBA) teams and National Football League (NFL) teams, along with an Uno set featuring the Arsenal Football Club (UK).

In 2007, Mattel released a series of National Hockey League (NHL) Uno sets in Canada, featuring almost all of the Canada-based hockey teams. Then, in 2010, Mattel released two Uno sets in the UK featuring England Football and England Rugby.

From 2003-2010, Uno rereleased many of these sports-themed Uno sets, updating the artwork to reflect the current roster, but keeping the unique Wild card the same. In 2010, Mattel discontinued its primary lines of sports-themed Uno cards.

In 2017, Mattel created a series of 12 Uno sets featuring some MLB teams. These Uno sets feature the team logo on the back of the cards, but do not have any images of players or other team artwork on the front of the cards. They also contain only 108 cards as they do not have any unique Wild cards.

In 2021, Mattel partnered with the Australian Football League (AFL) to create 12 Uno sets featuring various AFL teams (and one for the AFL itself). These were sold exclusively in Australia through the AFL Store.

In 2024, Mattel began releasing NFL decks under its Mattel Creations line of direct to consumer products, with a new label of Uno Fandom. Those decks can be found in the Mattel Creations section of this list.

College/University Uno Cards

From approximately 2007-2010, Mattel released a series of Uno cards for various universities. The cases for these sets were shaped like football helmets and the cards are centered on the football teams (although not the specific players).

Mattel later released a few other Uno sets featuring some universities more generally, including Notre Dame Uno and UNC Uno.

UNO Artiste Series

In 2019, UNO introduced its UNO Artiste series. These decks feature the works of one particular artist. Instead of a unique wild card, these decks contain four cards that are not used in gameplay, featuring some of the artist's works.

On July 30, 2021, Mattel released Uno Artiste Series No. 4 featuring the artwork of Shepard Fairey. In November 2021, Uno Mattel released an Uno Artiste Series game in Australia featuring the artwork of Ken Done. For some reason, this Uno Artiste deck was not given a number like the other decks in the Uno Artiste Series. Presumably, this is because it was an Australia-exclusive deck.

On August 5, 2022, Mattel released Uno Artiste Series No. 5 featuring the artwork of Takashi Murakami.

On August 25, 2023, Mattel released Uno Artiste Series No. 6 featuring the artwork of Shantell Martin. Mattel has not yet announced what artist it will feature for Uno Artiste Series No. 7.

Mattel Creations Collaborations

Around 2020, Mattel launched the Mattel Creations brand and website, with the goal of collaborating with artists and companies to make unique products. Since its launch, Mattel has collaborated to create several new Uno decks and has freqently released other related products alongside these, such as the Nike Zoom Freak 3 Uno shoes or the tokidoki-Uno reversible bucket hat. These Mattel Creations Uno decks are typically posted on the Mattel Creations website a few days in advance of their release, with a countdown timer for when the collaboration will be available to purchase. In many of these cases, the Uno sets have sold out within hours. Other Mattel Creations Uno decks have lasted much longer. However, in every case, once it has sold out, it has never been restocked.

Most of the Uno Artiste Series Uno decks have also been released on the Mattel Creations platform.

On July 21, 2023, Mattel Creations released an all-foil Spider-Man vs. Venom 2-pack of Uno Ultimate Marvel add-on packs. They did this in conjunction with San Diego Comic Con 2023. Although this 2-pack was technically released by Mattel Creations, the two individual add-on packs are included below in the Uno Ultimate section of this list.

In February 2024, Mattel Creations released a new brand of Uno decks called Uno Fandom, beginning with Super Bowl LVIII Uno.

Mattel Creations is a direct to consumer product line that is typically not released in retail stores, although sometimes the collaborations are also available on the partner's online stores.

Other Uno Theme Packs

This category features those Uno cards that defy easy categorization, including things like Jelly Belly Uno (the cards are shaped like jelly beans), Kittens Uno, and Vacation Uno. These are some of the most creative Uno sets Mattel has come up with as they are often separate from traditionally-licensed properties.

Upcoming Uno Games

Mattel continues to produce new Uno card games and spinoffs at the rate of about 15-30 per year. Here are some that have been announced. As Mattel generally does not widely publicize when these are released, clicking the title (link to Amazon search results) will help you determine if they are already on sale.

Uno Ultimate

In March 2022, Mattel released Uno Ultimate, a deck-building lite game where each player has their own character deck and power. Although Uno Ultimate is at its heart an Uno game, with traditional Uno rules, the addition of asymmetric gameplay, along with additional features, provides additional strategy and fun.

Initially, Uno Ultimate was released only as Uno Ultimate Marvel. So far, Mattel has released Uno Ultimate Marvel decks of the following Marvel characters:

• Black Panther
• Iron Man
• Captain Marvel
• Thor
• Spider-Man
• Scarlet Witch
• Doctor Strange
• Ms. Marvel
• Miles Morales
• She-Hulk
• Hulk
• Black Widow
• Shuri
• Captain America
• Ant-Man
• Loki
• Shang-Chi
• Rocket & Groot
• Ghost-Spider
• Mighty Thor
• Spider-Man 2099
• Venom

In July 2023, Mattel expanded Uno Ultimate to include DC Comic characters with Uno Ultimate DC. So far, Mattel has released Uno Ultimate DC decks of the following DC characters:

• Superman
• Aquaman
• Green Lantern
• Wonder Woman
• Batman
• Harley Quinn

Uno Ultimate also features a level of collectibility, in that each game contains chase foil cards that can be used to replace standard cards within the decks. Each of these chase foil cards can vary in rarity. In addition, Mattel has created promo cards (along with foil versions of those cards), such as the Thanos card that was released in 2022 and only available through conventions, such as Gen Con and San Diego Comic Con.

Uno Spinoffs

The Uno brand has been associated with spinoff games dating back to shortly after its creation (and even before Mattel acquired the brand in 1992). Mattel continues to create multiple Uno spinoff games every year and frequently rereleases some of its older spinoff games. However, some Uno spinoff games, such as Uno Hearts and Uno Rummy Up appear to have been permanently retired.

Uno Pocket

Uno Pocket is a brand of standard Uno cards. These Uno decks tend to have some flexibility based on brand needs and can range from 46-card Uno decks on up.

It appears that the chief purpose of these Uno Pocket decks is to provide marketing/branding opportunities for other companies without Mattel doing the heavy lifting of distribution. As part of this, the decks are typically provided to the partner to distribute however they wish, typically alongside other products or promotions.

Because of the varying needs of marketing partners, Uno Pocket decks may have fewer cards, may not feature any branding images, and may not come with special cards or rules.

Because these Uno decks are released in limited markets as a promotional tool, they are not generally promoted by Mattel and may not be sold in traditional stores. Given this, if you become aware of an Uno Pocket game that is not listed here, please contact us with pictures of the game so that we can add it.

Uno Junior/My First Uno

Uno Junior cards (formerly My First Uno cards) are simplified sets of Uno cards designed for young kids (3 years and up).

My First Uno sets feature large cards (branded as "King-Size") and have only 36 cards in the deck. The deck consists of 8 cards of each color (red, yellow, blue, and green), which are 1 card of the numbers 1-7 and a Draw 2 card. The deck also includes 4 Wild cards.

Standard Uno Cards

Last, but not least, Uno has released dozens of its standard 108 card Uno decks and anniversary Uno decks. Although these play like standard Uno cards (with the exception of a few Uno decks listed here), without any unique Wild cards or licensed property designs, many of them have some extra design features that make them stand out. Giant Uno is particularly popular. It features Uno cards that are 3 times larger than ordinary Uno cards. Giant Uno also comes in a BTS-themed set.

Mattel continues to release Uno card games and spinoffs at a rapid rate, so expect this list to continue to grow. You can also follow the story of the ongoing world record attempt for largest Uno collection.
