Merle Robbins was an Ohio barbershop owner who loved to play cards. One day in 1971, Merle came up with the idea for UNO and introduced the game to his family. When his family and friends began playing UNO more and more, Merle took notice. He and his family decided to pool together $8,000 and have 5,000 games made.UNO went from 5,000 game sales to 125 million in a few years. At first, Merle Robbins sold UNO from his barbershop. Then, a few friends and local businesses sold them, too. Then UNO took the next step towards card-game fame: Merle sold the rights to UNO to a funeral parlor owner and UNO fan from Joliet, Illinois for Fifty thousand dollars, plus royalties of 10 cents per game.
International Games Inc. was formed to market UNO, and sales skyrocketed. In 1992, International Games became part of the Mattel family, and UNO had a new home."
