Uno (pronounced /ˈuːnoʊ/) (spanish for one) is a card game played with a specially printed deck (see Mau Mau for an almost identical game played with normal playing cards). The game was originally developed in 1971 by Merle Robbins. It is now a Mattel product. The game's general principles put it into the Crazy Eights family of card games.

Merle Robbins.这老头子基本上是为了解决家庭争端才发明了UNO.

In 1971 he invented UNO to resolve an argument with his son about the rules of Crazy Eights. His son was a popular Social Studies teacher at Reading Hilltop Elementary School. The original decks were designed and made on the family dining room table. Then he and his family saved $8,000 and created the first 5,000 UNO decks to sell. At first he sold them out of his barber shop. In 1981, he sold the rights to UNO to International Games for $50,000 plus royalties of 10 cents per copy.

Today it is produced by toy giant Mattel in 80 countries and has sold 150 million copies worldwide.

所以啊.这样也是很赚钱地.你看他每份UNO抽10cent..就富死他了...

还有一个相关概念,也就是Crazy Eight.

Crazy Eights is a card game for two or more players. The object of the game is to get rid of all your cards to a discard pile.

There are a number of variations of the basic game, and a number of different names including Crates, Finlander's Uno, Last One, Mau-Mau, Pesten, Rockaway, Spoons, Swedish Rummy, Switch, Last Card, and Tschausepp. In Britain, it is often referred to as Black Jack (not to be confused with the casino card game Blackjack). Bartok, Mao, Quango and UNO are more extreme variations, containing elements not covered in this entry.

Generally, a standard 52-card pack is used, although some variations may use jokers as wild, and others may use more than one pack.

而UNO的特别版(special Pack)更是多达上百种.比如Disneyland UNO..batman UNO...Ferrari UNO... Nintendo UNO...
