Uno Minimalista Cards
Product Title UNO Giant Family Card Game With 108 Oversized Cards Average rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars, based on 127 reviews 127 ratings Current Price $15.99 $ 15. But UNO Minimalista will soon be for about $10, and it should be easy to spot on store shelves with its equally sleek packaging featuring a streamlined and cleaner version of the UNO logo.
The world’s favorite card game gets a sleek makeover.
Back in January, Brazilian graphic designer Warleson Oliveira shared his conceptual UNO design on Behance. Naturally, the creative world went wild for it and Mattel (the largest toy company on earth and creator of the popular card game) caught wind of it. Subsequently, UNO Minimalista went into production. This means that design geeks will get the chance to gush over the streamlined numerals while matching them.
Mattel has been experimenting with various UNO versions of late, including a Braile version and the highly popular Basquiat set, which was part of the limited UNO® artiste series. There’s even a Rick and Morty version doing the rounds at the moment. However, none have quite garnered as much fan demand as the Minimalista deck.
The set is currently only in the production stage but it’s already getting a substantial amount of attention on social platforms. Perhaps it’s the departure from the usual garish colors, opting for elegant symbols on a premium black backdrop instead. Or the fact that audiences want to feel more involved with the products they buy in today’s world. Either way, Mattel listened and answered.
“UNO Minimalista, designed by @warlesonoliveira, demanded by fans! You asked for it, you got it! #UNOMinimalista coming later this year,” the Instagram announcement read.
No further news has come out since then, but the new deck is expected to cost around $10.

Mattel, the toy company behind the model Cybertruck, is releasing a new version of its popular UNO card game with a stripped-down design that drops the bright splashes of color for something cleaner and more refined. The new minimalist card pack is called the Minimalista Deck and was designed by Warleson Oliveira. What started as a pet project for the Brazilian designer gathered steam thanks to an online petition from UNO fans, and will soon turn up on actual store shelves.
We can't help but wonder whether, considering the cards' primary color palette and simple iconography, Oliveira is a Google fan. If not, we suspect Google now likes Oliveira. We'd like to propose the company consider Oliveira for future design work. Of course, he might be bored given every Google app icon now looks pretty much indistinguishable at a glance.
Less is more — What you'll notice most of all on these cards is the stark black on the rear that contrasts against the UNO logo in a thin, two-dimensional typeface. The front of the cards, meanwhile, feature bright solid colors and more thin lines to replace the block letters and three-dimensional shadowing seen on traditional UNO cards.

This won't be the first time Mattel has released a new look for UNO. It's done special edition decks in the past, including a Braille version made in collaboration with the National Federation for the Blind, and a Basquiat-themed pack that sold for $20 for a limited time.

The company says that UNO Minimalista will go on sale, 'later this year,' which means you've got some time to discuss with your UNO crew whether or not your house rules accept the stacking of +4 cards. Mattel hasn't confirmed exactly when the packs will drop, nor has it committed to a price, but with a regular deck of UNO cards typically costing $10 we expect the Minimalista deck will be priced similarly.
