Unstable Unicorns for Kids is a board game released in 2021 for 2–6 players, 15–45 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. Its main mechanics are Hand Management and Take That.
Unstable Games has designed all-new artwork, cards, and characters to delight our littlest gamers while remaining fun and engaging for parents. Unstable Unicorns for Kids features eight Colorful Unicorn card themes, including Hero, Animal, Princess, Space, Sports, Goofy, Rainbow, and Fantasy. With cards like Sock Puppet Unicorn, Astronaut Unicorn, and Mermaid Princess Unicorn, the game has a unique unicorn (a uniquecorn, if you will) for everyone! The gameplay consists of drawing unicorns, magical powers and NEIGH! cards into your hand with the goal of being the first player to have 7 unicorns in your stable. Unicorns placed in your stable enable their aligned magic colour cards to be played without having to discard a card like your would normally. Magic powers range from digging into the deck, swapping hands and stealing opponents unicorns from their stable! And last but not least, the NEIGH! cards enable you to stop any other players action, even another Neigh card!
