Celebrate six years of UNO! Mobile with special events and a mammoth tournament
If you want to make a successful video game then you couldn’t really get much more of an advantage by starting with one of the world's biggest card games. This is what Mattel163 did with UNO! Mobile, and, as you will expect, I am about to rattle off some impressive numbers.
UNO! Mobile launched in 2019, which is now somehow six years ago even though it feels like six hours. Since then it has amassed over 400 million players, who have played over 30 billion games. That's 75 matches per player, although I personally have done a lot more.
To celebrate this impressive maths, there will be a variety of events this month, starting with the Anniversary Shop. Until January 28th you can rack up tokens through logins, gameplay, and tasks, which can be traded for over 300 decorations. These include special card effects, avatar frames, and a dusty crate of nostalgic rewards.
Until February 22nd you can hit the road for the Jouous Voyage Collection event. Head around the world and pick up global-themed decks, up to 800,000 coins, and more. This coincides with a new collection system, offering Daily Dash tasks, a Star Market hosting rewards such as a magic card pack, and the ability to trade with friends to help you both finish the set.
For the competitive bunch, the Grand Slam tournament will be kicking off on January 21st and will last for one whole year. You will need to be level three and pay 1,000 coins, and the tournament is broken into six seasons. These each have their own special rules, to keep things fresh.
Wild Punch will be our first season and will stretch to February 27th. Winners will walk away with coins, Master Coins to obtain exclusive decorations, and a flash 3D Fist Medal. Should you get medals in all six seasons you will get the Grand Slam trophy, rewarding you with annual prizes, and you should also probably buy a lottery ticket with draw luck like that.
UNO! Mobile is available to download from the App Store and Google Play.
