Introduction of UNO Elite Formula 1
Mattel has announced the launch of a special edition of UNO Elite themed around Formula 1, set to be released in December 2025. This collaboration aims to merge the excitement of Formula 1 racing with the popular card game, allowing fans to engage with their favorite drivers, cars, and teams in a new interactive format. The UNO Elite Formula 1 edition will feature licensed imagery and characters from all ten Formula 1 teams, including drivers, team principals, reserve drivers, circuits, and helmets.
Product Details and Features
The UNO Elite Formula 1 2025 Core Edition Starter Pack will include 112 cards that function similarly to a standard UNO deck, alongside two exclusive promo cards and four booster packs. Each booster pack contains ten Elite Action cards, which introduce Formula 1-style strategy to the gameplay. The initial release will feature over 100 unique Formula 1-inspired Elite Action cards available in various colors and special edition foil variations, culminating in a total of more than 1,000 unique cards across the entire collection. The Starter Pack is priced at $16.19, while the separate Booster Set, which includes three booster packs for an additional 30 action cards, is priced at $6.47.
Official Statements on the Collaboration
Katie Buford, Vice President and Global Head of Games at Mattel, stated, “This expansion to UNO Elite brings the excitement of the pinnacle of motorsport to the world’s most popular traditional game in a unique interactive way.” Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer of Formula 1, emphasized the innovative nature of this partnership, saying, “As a brand, we always want to show up for our fans in new and innovative spaces.”
Broader Implications of the Release
This collaboration not only expands the UNO Elite catalog but also provides a new avenue for fans of both UNO and Formula 1 to connect.
