The game play is the same as the beloved classic but the unicorns are significantly...Hornier. Are all the cards sexual? F*** neigh! Some are just delightfully disgusting. This new edition combines all the cards from the Unstable Unicorns: NSFW Pack you already know and love with 73 brand-new cards (plus 8 reference cards) to make a complete 135-card game! —description from the publisher
