Mattel Toys reveals that UNO® is once again the number-one games property in the U.S. exclusive of collector card games, according to latest NPD Group U.S. Retail Tracking Report^[1]. By introducing new games and leveraging partnerships, the card game continues to see momentum with double-digit growth in the first-half of 2018. UNO is currently the number-one selling item in the entire games category year-to-date^[2] and ranks as the only card game in top 10 best-selling items in United States.

“UNO is an iconic staple for families around the world as it transcends ages, cultures and languages making it one of the most popular games,” said Lori Pantel, SVP and GM, Mattel US Marketing. “It’s inspiring to see the continued momentum for this heritage brand with new innovation disrupting not only the UNO brand, but the entire games category.”

In addition to the timeless original UNO, the brand introduced DOS earlier this year, which was the first new game from the brand in nearly 50 years. The new game, in addition to UNO’s continued strategy of leveraging strong partnerships and trends, has helped strengthen the overall brand.
