An UNO tournament is coming and it features some of the biggest names on Twitch and YouTube including Ludwig “Ludwig” Ahgren, Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter, and Sykkuno.

Mattel163 has announced the UNO Mobile Wildcard Series All-Stars hosted by Ludwig Ahgren. The lighthearted tournament series will have 16 familiar faces fighting to take home a solid gold UNO Wild Card. Here is who’s competing and when it will happen.

What is the UNO Mobile Wildcard Series All-Stars?

The UNO Mobile Wildcard Series All-Stars is an organized UNO tournament that starts on August 12 and features a grand finale on August 26. It will begin with qualifying rounds, which are two-on-two in nature. They are able to see each others’ cards, but not their two opponents’ cards.

“16 star gamers will need to strategize together in order to win,” the official press release stated.

The All-Stars tournament will be followed by a Community Cup at the end of this year. Anyone will be able to compete, helping UNO build up its “incredible community of global players,” according to Mattel163 CEO Amy Huang.

Huang said that UNO! Mobile is the “perfect fit” for a competitive tournament. The All-Stars series represents the first event in a “new era” of UNO! Mobile competitive gaming. This means that there may be more UNO competitions in the future if this one ends up going well.
