Quick answer
Yes, if you appreciate industrial design and limited-edition collaborations. The UNO x Kartell deck is a functional art piece that stands out from standard card games, but its collectibility hinges on your interest in the Kartell brand and the deck's unique aesthetic.
Why the UNO x Kartell collaboration matters
Kartell is a Milan-based design company known for elevating furniture into art. Partnering with UNO, a universally recognized card game, creates a crossover that appeals to both design enthusiasts and casual players. The deck features a sophisticated color spectrum and cards printed with iconic Kartell furniture, making each card a miniature art piece.
Trade-offs to consider
The deck costs USD 30.00 (catalog price, compared to USD 50.00), which is more than a standard UNO deck. While the design is premium, the cards are still paper and may not hold up to heavy play. If you intend to play frequently, consider buying a standard deck for gameplay and keeping this one for display.
How to decide if UNO x Kartell is for you
- You value design over gameplay: If the primary appeal is the Kartell aesthetic and the novelty of a designer card game, this deck delivers. The cards are visually striking and make a great conversation piece. Display it in a card frame or on a shelf.
- You are a UNO completionist: For collectors who want every UNO variant, this is a must-have. Limited collaborations like this are not reissued, so availability may decrease over time. Buy now while stock lasts.
- You want a functional game for regular play: Standard UNO decks cost much less and are more durable. The UNO x Kartell deck is better suited for occasional, careful play or display. Consider buying a standard deck for everyday use.
