If you thought UNO was just a fun childhood card game, think again. Following the overwhelming success of last year’s inaugural events, the iconic board game company Mattel is expanding its wildly popular UNO Social Clubs with a global tour this summer.
The tour will bring unforgettable game nights to 14 cities around the world, including a highly anticipated return to Los Angeles.
This summer, Angelenos will have the chance to experience an elevated take on game night when UNO Social Club takes over No Vacancy in Hollywood on August 27 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or simply looking for a unique night out, the experience is designed to make it easy to connect with friends and maybe make a few new ones along the way.
“At the heart of UNO is a simple truth: play brings people together,” said Katie Buford, Vice President and Global Head of Mattel Games, in a statement announcing the expansion.
