Merle Robbins, who invented the popular card game Uno with several family members, died at the Good Samaritan Hospital Saturday. He was 72 years old.

Object: The object of UNO is playing all the cards in your hand. When only one card is remaining, the cardholder must shout Uno! alerting others that he or she is down to the last card in his or her hand. Choosing a dealer: A simple draw of cards determines the game's dealer; the person who chooses the card with the highest numerical value deals.
