Mattel Games UNO Splash Card Game with Waterproof Cards and Portable Clip for Travel, Camping and Game Nights Away
Same 108-card UNO game, but the cards are waterproof plastic instead of paper, so a splash at the pool or a spilled drink at the campsite will not ruin the deck. A clip keeps the deck together and attaches to a beach bag or backpack for the trip there. Good pick for a family that already plays UNO at home and wants a version that survives travel.

About Mattel Games UNO Splash Card Game with Waterproof Cards and Portable Clip for Travel, Camping and Game Nights Away
This is the water-specific edition of UNO in this catalog, the one built for pool days, the beach, or a camping trip, distinct from the standard-card Travel Tin edition also in this catalog, which is meant for everyday carry and gifting rather than water exposure. The whole reason this SKU exists is durability against water: thick plastic cards that survive direct splashes, rain, and sticky sunscreen hands without soaking through or falling apart, and reviewers confirm that holds up over months of pool and beach use.
The real trade-off is texture. The plastic cards feel genuinely different from paper UNO, sturdier for some players, but a meaningful share of reviewers specifically call them slippery and harder to keep stacked while shuffling. Cards also stick together when wet and need separating or a quick rinse, and they don't float if dropped in a pool, both worth knowing before a trip. The included clip is generally handy for attaching to a beach bag or backpack, though at least one reviewer swapped it for a sturdier carabiner for extra peace of mind.
None of this shows up as a durability problem, cards outlast standard paper UNO over months of rough outdoor use, it's a hands-on-feel adjustment rather than a quality flaw.

The Honest Take
What We Like and What We Don't
What we like
- Genuinely waterproof plastic cards that survive pool splashes, rain, and sticky kid hands without disintegrating like paper UNO would
- Same classic UNO gameplay, zero learning curve, works for the whole family
- Included clip keeps the deck together and attaches to a beach bag, backpack, or camping gear so cards don't scatter or get lost
- Reviewers report it outlasting standard UNO decks over months of rough outdoor use
What holds it back
- Cards can feel slippery and are genuinely harder to shuffle or keep stacked than paper cards, a repeated, specific complaint
- Cards stick together when wet and need separating or a quick rinse between hands, and they sink rather than float if dropped in a pool
- The included clip is functional but not heavy-duty, at least one reviewer upgraded to their own carabiner for peace of mind
Is This For You?
Who Should (and Shouldn't) Buy This
Get it if…
Get it if you want a card game that can go straight from the pool deck or beach towel into gameplay without anyone worrying about wet hands, sunscreen, or a stray splash ruining the deck.
Skip it if…
Skip it if you mainly want to play indoors and care about that classic papery shuffle feel, the slippery plastic texture is a genuine downgrade there, and standard UNO or the Travel Tin edition will feel better in hand.
The verdict
This edition delivers exactly what it promises: a UNO deck that survives pool days, beach trips, and camping without getting ruined by water. The trade-off is the plastic itself, it's genuinely more slippery and stickier-when-wet than paper cards, which shows up often enough in reviews to be a real texture adjustment rather than a nitpick. For a deck that's going to spend its life near water anyway, that's a fair trade.
What Real Buyers Say
“Great for beach and pool, good for all ages and a good ice breaker.”
United States
“The waterproof cards are the standout feature, they're sturdy, easy to handle, and perfect for pool days, beach trips, or even messy snack-time play. The included clip is surprisingly useful too, we keep it hooked onto a beach bag so the cards don't get lost.”
United States
“Love these, perfect to take to the beach, pool or lake, thick plastic so they are durable. We take these on trips for us and the kids to play when they want a little down time.”
United States
“The cards are flexible plastic and don't bend or get soggy. A couple things to know: cards get sticky when wet, a quick rinse helps, and they don't float, so be careful around deep water. The clip is handy, but I swapped it for a sturdier carabiner.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is UNO Splash actually waterproof, or just water-resistant?
The cards are made of durable plastic that survives direct splashes, rain, and pool play without soaking through or falling apart, and reviewers confirm this holds up over months of pool and beach use. That said, the cards don't float if dropped in water and can stick together when wet, so treat it as splash-proof and dunk-tolerant rather than something meant for prolonged submersion.
What age is UNO Splash recommended for?
Mattel's official minimum age is 7 years, matching the standard UNO age floor, so there's no special age restriction tied to the waterproof material.
Are the plastic cards harder to shuffle than regular UNO cards?
This is genuinely mixed in customer feedback. Many reviewers say the thick plastic shuffles fine and feels sturdier than paper, but a meaningful group specifically finds the cards slippery and prone to sliding off a stacked pile, making shuffling more fiddly than standard UNO.
