[edit] Theme Decks
UNO offers downloads through the Xbox Live Marketplace including custom theme decks, custom visual appearances and game rules. Deck Versions available for download from the Xbox Live Marketplace:
- Project Gotham Racing UNO: In this game, the cards are drawn like cars seen in the Project Gotham Racing series of video games. The rule changes include a card called the "Gotham Live" card, which is based on the replay feature in Project Gotham Racing 3. This card allows a player to look at the hand of any of the other players as well as functioning as a normal wild card.
- Kameo: Elements of Power UNO: A custom deck with artwork from Kameo. In addition, a special play card allows you to swap your hand with the hand of another player in the game.
- Uno 35th Anniversary: A special deck made to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the first edition of UNO released in the United States, in 1971. In this deck, there are specialty "35" cards. If a "35" card is played only a 3 or 5 of any color can be played.
