Complex, Lots of Gameplay Options, Fun, but a little Dark.
If you have played Exploding Kittens, this game (in my opinion) is better. There are many more gameplay options ..mainly due to the fact that in this game, each player has a “stable” deck (a group of cards you collect on the table) AND a “hand” deck. Each of theses decks has its own array of plays and restrictions... so there are more play options.It’s also important to know terms in this game. The most important three terms I found were “discard” (remove a card from your hand deck to the discard pile), “sacrifice” (remove a card from your own stable deck into the discard pile), and “destroy” (remove a card from another players stable deck and into the discard pile). If you have these down in the beginning your good!Another fact to know is that the point of this game is to have a certain amount of unicorns in your stable. The unicorns come in all forms, even a rhino and a horse with a chainsaw on its head. Some have magical powers to help you do special things when they enter into your stable, and others are just there to look cute. So you collect them to win. The problem is people can remove them.As far as the cards go - they are pretty cool, both in game play and in look. But some are a little “questionable” for young players or for religious reasons. There’s a “sadistic” card, and some cards with a knife and dripping blood in the form of a shadow in the background behind a horse with a little blood on it (he’s gonna be sacrificed). One unicorn has a chainsaw as a horn. There’s also a shark unicorn card with sharp teeth and blood on his mouth. He’s supposed to cause a unicorn to be sacrificed (removed from your own stable) or destroyed (removed from another players stable). You can also poison a unicorn with a poison card... stuff like that. These types of cards are few, but it may be something parents want to know before buying them as a gift for a younger kid.

Really fun, easy to play, challenging to replay, and keeps teens interested
Took this on vacation and it kept a bunch of teenage boys mesmerized for days. They spent hours every day playing, and some sessions got quite rowdy. They would be up all night playing, and up early in the morning playing. It was refreshing watching them do something social and not attached to their cell phones. Sometimes the girls in our group joined them and play was intense! We had an 11-year old playing and he actually won a few rounds - believe me, they were not taking him lightly.We were staying in Orlando, Florida, a short car ride from Disney and Universal Studios. The kids almost preferred to stay in the resort playing this game than to spend the day on the rides.Game is very easy to learn, especially if you are familiar with other card games like Magic the Gathering and Pokemon. It has enough variance where no one is ever too powerful and even a bad draw can turn into a good game with a few lucky cards. A few of the cards, when played at the right time, may cause a near riot - especially one card that lets you switch your hand with someone else's cards.Do not play this game with very competitive sore-loser types or there will be blood. Try not to play with someone you are dating or you may find yourself single.

Need to know before purchase, NOT family friendly.
Here's what I expected before getting this game...something lighthearted, funny, and silly, with cute unicorns. Here's what I got...a SEDUCTIVE unicorn, a NECROMANCER unicorn, a SADISTIC RITUAL card (among others)...and oh, baby unicorns. Like what? I think this game had great potential and could have been something cute and fun, but then it became twisted and weird. Definitely wish that had been included in the product description, then I wouldn't have wasted $20.

A well balanced game
This is an amazing game in every way. First off, the box is crisp with a magnetic cover that feels elegant. The cards are well made and the art style is amazing. Very creative!I am a 20+ individual with friends around the same age. I purchased a handful of these as gifts and have played with most of the people I gave a copy (in groups of 3-4). This game is a blast.Unstable Unicorns is a robust game that forces players to make active choices and search for creative uses. Similar to other games in the genre as you play more, more options for card combos become more obvious. My first play through was pretty straight forward. It was a shortish race to see who could place down 7 unicorns with a few twists. But once familiar with the game, the game play blew up. My second game lasted 2 hours as we kept finding ways to slow each others progress and steal and destroy one another we had a hoot! And everything is so cute!This game, I think is enjoyable for a good range of ages with nothing I wouldn't consider safe for young players, however the level of game play available would certainly rely on the amount of thinking players are able/willing to put into it. Every card has several uses and when you start combining things crazy things can happen.I highly recommend for game nights and hangouts.
