The Basics:

Uno, originally published in 1971 by International Games, was designed by Merle Robbins. Today, Uno is published by Mattel.

Why Uno is Part of the Games Timeline:

Uno is one of the most popular family card games of all time.

Here are the other games I believe are the most culturally and historically significant games published since 1800.

More About Uno:

Players try to be the first to get rid of all their cards, but must remember to say "Uno!" when they're down to one remaining. Special cards and wild cards spice it up a bit.

Numerous special editions, including Spider-Man Uno, Hello Kitty Uno, Harry Potter Uno, Simpsons Uno and Uno Attack have been published as well. Many of the special editions include at least one card with unique rules.
