From UNO to DOS: Mattel Announces Sequel to Popular Card Game
Mattel is set to release a sequel to its popular game UNO, called DOS. Mattel's Senior Director of Global Gaming, Ray Adler, sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles to introduce the world to the new game, and explain exactly how you play.
Adler says DOS has been in the works for awhile, and the company decided that the time was right to introduce a similar game with new rules. He explains that after 46 years, they have had a lot of great momentum with UNO, which was up 12 percent last year in terms of popularity.
He explains that DOS is very similar to UNO. You are trying to get rid of all your cards, but there is a twist in terms of how you can actually get rid of them. He says that they took a while to make sure the game play was solid and to properly develop the rules.
Adler also says the he hopes DOS will be part of the new UNO app that Mattel launched earlier this year. DOS will be available at Target starting March 4, 2017.
Student loan debt continues to be a major concern for tens of millions of Americans who collectively owe about $1.7 trillion. Black college students often take on larger amounts of student debt in order to pay for a higher education. In turn, they are more likely to struggle post-graduation with repaying their debt, creating a racial wealth gap divide. Andre Perry, senior fellow at Brookings Institution joined All Hands to help break down the black student debt crisis.
BTS’ hit single “Butter” tops the zeitgeist again, bumping back up to number one on Billboard’s Hot Trending Chart. The chart tracks what songs people are talking about rather than what they're listening to.
The American Red Cross has declared its first-ever "national blood crisis" in the United States. Since COVID hit the U.S. in March 2020, blood donations have declined by 10 percent. American Red Cross Medical Director, Dr. Baia Lasky joined Cheddar News to discuss the country facing the worst blood shortage in over a decade. Dr. Lasky noted that as much as 40 percent of Americans are eligible to donate blood but only about 4 percent do so. "This is going to be ongoing," she said. "This is not an acute shortage. We really do need the commitment of people to come out and donate and donate again." Appointments to donate can be made by using the Red Cross Donor App, at RedCrossBlood.org, or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
