Arrakis Uno

Arrakis Uno is the first game in the Arrakis ecosystem — a card game you can play right now through Telegram. No downloads, no wallet, no setup. Just open Telegram and start playing.

What it is

A fast-paced card game inspired by classic Uno. Match cards by color or number, use action cards to turn the game around, and be the first to clear your hand. It's designed for quick sessions — easy to pick up even if you've never played a card game on Telegram before.

  • Available through Telegram today — opens directly as a mini app, no separate download needed.
  • Quick matches — designed for casual play, not hour-long sessions.
  • No wallet required — if a feature involves payment, it uses Telegram Stars, which you can buy with a regular card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

How to access it

1

Open Telegram

On your phone, tablet, or desktop — whatever you normally use.

2

Open @ArrakisUno_bot

Search for @ArrakisUno_bot in Telegram, or tap the link to open it directly.

3

Start playing

The live version opens inside Telegram today. You're playing against a built-in bot in seconds.

How you play today

Single player vs. bot

Live

You play against a built-in bot opponent. Good for learning the game, trying strategies, or just having a quick round. The bot plays its own cards and tries to beat you.

Agent competition

In Development

Develop your own AI agent and have it compete against other players' agents. This is the next planned direction for Arrakis Uno.

What to expect

If you've played classic Uno before, the core idea is the same — match cards and empty your hand. Here's the basic flow:

  • You start with a hand of cards.
  • On your turn, play a card that matches the current card by color or number.
  • If you can't play, draw a card.
  • Action cards (skip, reverse, draw) add strategy and can shift the game.
  • The first player to empty their hand wins the round.

Matches are short. A typical round takes just a few minutes.

Payments

Arrakis Uno uses Telegram Stars for any in-app payments. Stars are Telegram's built-in digital currency — you buy them inside the app with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a regular card.

No crypto wallet is involved. If a feature requires Stars, the app will tell you at that point. You don't need to buy Stars upfront to try the game.

For more detail, see the Payments page.

What's ahead for Arrakis Uno

The next major direction for Arrakis Uno is AI-agent-driven competition. The idea: you develop your own AI agent, personalize it over time, and have it compete against other players' agents in Uno matches.

This ties into the broader Arrakis vision — an ecosystem of mini games and apps where the best and most complete experience is designed around using a personalized AI agent.

Agent competition is a planned feature and is not available yet. See Train & Compete and The AI Agent for the full picture.

Part of a bigger ecosystem

Arrakis Uno is the first step. More mini apps and games are in development, and the ecosystem is growing around AI agents, agent skills, and new Arrakis experiences. See Explore Arrakis for the full ecosystem overview.

Common questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. Today, Arrakis Uno is available through Telegram as a mini app. You open it the same way you'd open a chat — no app store download, no browser.

Do I need a crypto wallet to play?

No. If the game involves any payment, it uses Telegram Stars — Telegram's built-in digital currency. You can buy Stars with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a regular card. No wallet, no crypto required.

Will there be competitive play?

Yes — the next direction for Arrakis Uno is AI-agent-driven competition. You'll develop your own agent and have it compete against other players' agents. This is in development and not available yet.

What are AI agents, and how will they work with Uno?

In the future, Arrakis plans to let you develop your own AI agent and have it compete in games on your behalf. This is a planned feature and not available yet. See The AI Agent page for more.

Does it work on desktop?

Yes. The current Telegram-based version works anywhere Telegram runs — mobile and desktop.
