Unstable Games Unstable Unicorns Card Game - Strategy Party Game for 2-8 Players, Ages 8 and Up - Funny Family Game Night Card Game from the Creators of Here to Slay

Unstable Unicorns is a strategic card game that perfectly blends "cute" aesthetics with "cutthroat" gameplay. Created by the same team behind Here to Slay, it has become a staple for family game nights and parties due to its high replayability and "funny" unpredictable nature. Gameplay and Strategy Build Your Army: The goal is simple: be the first player to collect 7 Unicorns in your "Stable." However, every other player will be trying to destroy your progress using Upgrade, Downgrade, and Magic cards. The "Neigh" Factor: One of the most iconic elements is the "Neigh" card, which allows you to stop an opponent's action instantly. This leads to hilarious "Neigh wars" where players counter-counter-action each other. Accessible but Deep: While the Ages 8 and up rating makes it family-friendly, there is a surprising amount of strategy and "take-that" mechanics that keep adults engaged and competitive. Why It's a "Must-Have" High Player Count: Supporting 2 to 8 players, it is versatile enough for a small date night or a large holiday gathering. Hilarious Art: The cards feature "funny" and creative unicorn variations—from Zombie Unicorns to Narwhals—each with unique abilities that keep the game visually entertaining. Quick Setup: The game is easy to learn, with most groups picking up the mechanics within the first few rounds of play. Final Verdict Unstable Unicorns is "outstanding" for those who love games that mix strategy with social interaction. It is "super effective" at creating memorable, high-energy moments where alliances are formed and broken in minutes.

Absolutely amazing game , will start collecting the expansions ASAP . This game is fun and easy one of my favorite card games I have tried

I am not a big game player, but we picked up this game for family game night and it has been the new family favorite ever since. Who knew that little innocent unicorns could cause so much chaos and destruction. The game is easy to learn and has a different outcome every time it is played. There are some cards that require a little bit of interpretation and debate on the correct way they are used, but overall it is fun and easy. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a card game just another typical run of the mill game.

Unstable Unicorns is one of those rare games that keeps everyone at the table laughing and on their toes until the very end. It’s entertaining from the first card draw to the last, with plenty of twists and turns that can completely change who’s winning at any moment — so nobody ever feels out of the game. The adorable cartoon unicorns on each card make the experience even better. The artwork is so cute that even the most competitive players can’t help but smile when they sabotage each other! It’s easy enough for older kids to learn but has enough strategy to keep adults engaged too. Whether you’re playing with family, friends, or both, Unstable Unicorns is a must-have for your game night collection. Highly recommend!

We have all the expansions for this game, we enjoy it that much. I'll review each expansion later separately. As a whole, as I said above we really enjoy this game. It plays 2-8 players but I will say we prefer it at less than 8, even though we've played that many. There is so much going on at that point it becomes hard to track all the different cards that are in play. I would say 3-5 might be our own personal favorite range for Unstable Unicorns. The cards are wonderful in the base game and in each expansion, they are colorful, have hilarious names, and very pleasing combinations that grow the game-play. As you build up your stable, which is your personal playing area, you'll find yourself looking down at the rainbowtastic combination of Unicorns and powers you've assembled and smile to yourself. With your cute little baby Unicorn leading the way, you have a simple winning condition to accomplish, just place a set amount of Unicorn cards down on the table. That is it; this "unstable" game is that easy. You don't need special energy costs or requirements to play a Unicorn; you just take one from your hand and put it in your stable. Your first time sitting down with this game you'll think the game is going to end quickly with you just laying down some cards, seems too easy right? Yes and no. You can get a really great random draw of cards and be on your way towards building a perfect stable of charming Unicorns, but then things starting getting "Unstable." Through the use of upgrades, downgrades, instants, and magical unicorns this game ramps up the action. The humor and the LOL "take that" actions you play on your fellow opponents will get cheers from some and boos from others in your game. The very clever Instant card "Neigh" lets you deny and stop another player's action, but they can then neigh your neigh. This back and forth play which you'll all experience eventually playing this game is frustrating and funny at the same time, very Munchkin like. I do feel like there is a bit of imbalance in the game, some cards are really powerful and so many others are just average. I won't say this harms my opinion of the game, I really think the idea of this game being unbalanced and unstable is part of what the game is supposed to be. You won't be disappointed with that randomness, unless the luck of the draw puts the funnier and more powerful cards in the hands of other players and you are left with just basic Unicorns. You may encounter a stalemate at times where if everyone is paying attention you can actively prevent someone from winning. This will drag the game on for too long which isn’t fun. Don't go into this wanting to play hardcore strategy, you won't have as much fun and you'll likely encounter that stalemate. You're playing this to laugh and put out crazy card combinations to screw over the other players. Do that with your best Unicorn spirit in your heart and you’ll enjoy how each game unfolds whether you win or lose. In the end this game is funny, easy to teach, and always popular with new players. Jump into this one with a love of Unicorns, rainbows, glitter bombs, and adorable artwork and you'll have a great new card game added to your gaming shelf.

REALLY fun game, play with my friends and family a lot. A fun card game and its my favorite!!

Love this game! Great for Game night

I just played a couple games with my family (4 players total, me and my two brothers ages 16-20 and our mom) one game with the default cards, and two with the Rainbow Apocalypse expansion mixed in. Most card games tend to just play themselves, but this one actually takes some thought and strategy. The game is somewhat complex and has a little bit of a learning curve. Still, it should be easy enough to grasp after playing a game or two, even for younger children. My only suggestion would be giving basic unicorn cards more of a use, because they are just strictly worse than magical unicorns. They don't feel very good to play when you could be playing a comparatively stronger and more impactful card instead. A couple times during our games, one of our hands would be clogged with too many basic unicorn cards and it takes a lot of turns to be able to use them all. There are cards to solve this problem, but sometimes you won't end up drawing any. (Because all you're drawing is basic unicorn cards!!) Not a big deal by any means, but something simple like adding some cards that interact with them or maybe being able to play two in a turn by sacraficing your draw would make basic unicorns way more interesting. That said, the overall balance of the cards is pretty good. Some magical unicorns do feel a little strong, mainly the ones that allow you to bring out multuple unicorns in a turn. It's not a big deal though because neigh cards do a good job at stopping those overly strong moves. They also allow other players to interject when someone is close to winning, which makes games quite close and intense. It also leads to hilarious moments when everyone throws down neighs to block other player's neighs. If you are looking for a card game to play, this is the one! 10/10 would recommend!
