Robbins later sold the rights to Uno to a group of friends headed by Robert Tezak, a funeral parlor owner in Joliet, Illinois, for $50,000 plus royalties of 10 cents per game. He sold it from his barbershop at first, and local businesses began to sell it as well. When his family and friends began to play more and more, he spent $8,000 to have 5,000 copies of the game made. The game was originally developed in 1971 by Merle Robbins in Reading, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati.
