Board Game Unstable Unicorns

We all know that unicorns are adorable, but who would have thought that they are so DESPERATE?! Gather an army of unicorns. Betray your friends. Unicorns approve of this...

This is a strategic card game with set-building mechanics and attractive, colorful design. And, of course, a dash of humor! The game will definitely be a hit at any party and is guaranteed to please all participants (regardless of their attitude to unicorns and the presence of a moral compass).

Gameplay

Before the game starts, players choose one pet from the pile of babies and place it in the stable (their playing area). Participants receive 5 random cards from a deck with black shirts in their hands.

During the game, players take turns in a clockwise direction. Active player:

1. activates the effects of cards in his stable that have the text: «If this card is in your stable at the beginning of your turn…»;
2. takes the top card from the deck into his hand;
3. plays a card from his hand or draws another card from the deck;
4. discards extra cards from his hand (limit — 7 cards).

Cards come in several types:

• unicorns: baby unicorns, regular unicorns, and magic unicorns that have useful effects;
• spells that have a one-time effect;
• penalties that cause trouble to the opponent until placed in his stable;
• bonuses, which give certain advantages to the player while placed in his stable;
• immediate — the only type of card that can be played at any time when the opponent tries to play a card.

End of the game

To win the game, you need to collect a certain number of unicorns in your stable. If there are 2-5 participants, you need to collect 7 unicorns, and if there are 6-8 participants, you need to collect 6 unicorns. The game also ends if the deck runs out — then the one with the most unicorns in the stable wins. Congratulations! The unicorns approve of this.
