The 2024 NFL season kicks off on September 5, but you can start the season early in UNO. Yes, the card game. Mattel just unveiled UNO Elite, a new twist on the UNO collectible card game that lets you build a fantasy team of your favorite NFL superstars. You can pre-order the UNO Elite Starter Pack for just $15 exclusively at Walmart. Draft Packs, which include 56 random player cards, four of which are foil, can be ordered for $5 each. UNO Elite launches on August 27, just in time for the 2024 NFL season.
UNO Elite NFL includes players from all 32 teams, so you can collect cards featuring playmakers like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Travis Kelce, Davante Adams, Jalen Hurts, and more. The UNO Elite NFL Starter Pack includes 112 classic UNO cards, plus 56 random NFL player cards. Four of the player cards will be foil cards, just like in the Draft Packs.
UNO Elite NFL offers several ways to play, including Quick Play mode, where you’re dealt player cards at random; Draft mode, where you and your opponents take turns selecting players for your hand; and Dynasty mode, where everyone plays with cards they’ve personally collected. Gameplay is based on traditional UNO, as you can only activate your player cards if they match the number or color currently in play. Once activated, your player cards should have a major impact on the game and help you stay one step ahead of your opponents.
It’s a cool twist on UNO – and since you can expand your lineup with Draft Packs, it should be a fun trading card game to enjoy during halftime breaks in the NFL season. Draft Packs consist of 56 randomly selected cards (including four foil cards), making them larger than the average booster pack for other trading card games.
Beyond UNO Elite, Mattel is expanding the UNO fandom catalog by releasing custom decks for each NFL team. Stay tuned for more information this fall.
