Decades after it was first created on the Robbins' family dining table, Uno is now a family staple (with it recommended for players aged seven and up). But before becoming a global smash hit and one of the best family board games Uno had humble beginnings, with the game crafted after Merle had an argument with his son about the rules of an old school card game.Īfter coming up with the game with his family, Merle mortgaged his home to create enough capital to sell the first 5,000 copies and the rest, as they say, is history.
