UNO x Takashi Murakami Unveil Dreamlike Deck With Hidden, Collectible Posters
By Mikelle Leow, 02 Aug 2022
Taking a break from the digital realm, Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami is returning to the physical—in particular, family game nights—with a candy-colored UNO deck you won’t be playing ‘Skip’ to.
The latest to UNO’s Artiste Series—which celebrates artwork by prolific creators like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Nina Chanel Abney, and Shepard Fairey—brings Murakami’s smiling flowers and ‘Superflat’-style characters into full bloom.
Playable as they are collectible, the contemporary artist’s illustrations adorn this premium UNO deck, which is finished with a spot UV treatment.
A mini gallery awaits in this set, too. The deck includes four double-sided ‘Artiste Extra’ cards that, when joined together, form two poster-sized artworks.
UNO Artiste Series: Murakami will spring to life on the Mattel Creations site from Friday, August 5 at 9 am PT (12 pm ET) for a price of US$25.
