Great game
[...]I’m 26. My husband is 32. My younger sibling is 21 and my other younger sibling is 18 and we were all able to sit and play several rounds of this game. It was so much fun! It really is for all different age groups. I’ve played it with my nephews and I’ve also played it with my mom like it’s a great game just purchased it! Exactly as pictured so no need for photo.

A fun game with some shortcomings
[...]I got Unstable Unicorns to play with my kids (8 and 10) since it was 50% off, and it’s pretty fun once you play a few hands. My kids love the illustrations and it’s actually a great way to encourage them to read and pay attention to detail since most cards / abilities are unique.I have two complaints:1. The physical deck of cards is made of cheap materials. They feel ‘normal’, but we’ve only played twice and the cards are already bending, curing, rippling, etc. Its pretty disapointing for a $20 card game.2. I personally feel there are too many details to keep track of for kids under 12; and as an adult, reading all of the cards time and time again slows the game down and detracts from the fun. I feel like ages 10-16 is the ideal demographic for this one.This game could be streamlined and made quite a bit better, but it is a game my kids really engage with. The $11 I paid feels much more appropriate than the $20+ retail price, so I feel it was a worthy purchase.

Teenage daughter loved this!
[...]It had great reviews and the quality was good. It’s a fun game and the expansion packs are nice because you can choose from kid friendly to risque. I packaged it with some unicorn themed mantra cards and unicorn candies; my daughter loved it!

I LOVE this game!
[...]I love this game. So many different strategy to play and the art is so cute. The rules are not too confusing and easy to follow once you get the hang of it.

Beautifully made, fun, and infinite possibilities! Great game!
[...]I absolutely love this game. Let me explain:Many complain about the “setup” and instructions. There is virtually no setup to this game. There are white cards that you don’t shuffle into the black deck. You choose one of the white cards. The end. Then it’s just like any other card game as far as shuffling and dealing. There are even charts in the instructions. If you’ve ever played a strategy or RPG card game before, you’ll be fine. If not… I would think you would still be fine…? Maybe you have issues with maps too?The instructions… well, I don’t know how they would make them any easier, honestly. They are mind boggling at first, yes. But as any good teacher would attest, there are some things that you have to do in order to understand, and reading about it won’t teach. Once you start playing and get the flow, return back to the instructions when you’re unsure of something.Now, another thing I noticed in the reviews is that people are upset it’s inappropriate for children. On my box, it says very clearly “ages 14+”. Now, I did play with my 12 year old and I didn’t find a problem. I realize I do not have the first edition. Two things about that: check it out before you play with your kid, since it does say 14 and up; and there are no truly inappropriate cards in the second edition. The only thing is that some unicorns kill other unicorns… so if you don’t want your kid playing a game where they cause imaginary death to imaginary animals (and I get that), then don’t play with kids. I find it a perfect tweet and teen game, and I actually really enjoy this game as well.This game reminded me how much I loved these types of games. I am SO pleased with the purchase.Besides game play, the cards are well drawn and colorful, and I love that they color-coded the corners to show you easily what type of card it is. That makes the cards that allow you to search the deck so much easier to execute, and the instructions on types of cards also. But the packaging is so great! It is easy to store, it is cute, and there is room for more cards if you buy expansions.Overall, I give this game 5/5 stars. Honestly, I would give it an extra star if I could. It is well-made and I’m excited to play more and see what happens. There is one section of the instructions that haven’t even come into play yet, so I want to keep playing to see when I get a hand that triggers this.

This is a Great Game for a Large Group
[...]Let’s start by saying the art is cute, I mean really identifiable for TeeTurtle fans and those who are new to that theme. It works great for children as it is bright and colorful and just fun. The game can be taken seriously, as in everyone is strategizing, doing their best to build their stable of unicorns and just focused. it also works great for a group that socializes while playing. Think sitting around the table and playing a game while catching up on what is going on with everyone. Throw in a few expansion packs, and it scales fine for a large group.When it comes to children, just exclude the NSFW pack if you have it (expansions are easily identifiable) and maybe remove a couple of the more difficult cards for young children. Generally though, the cards are not especially difficult. If the younger kids struggle, it’s going to be due to words they don’t know ow instructions. They now have a kid version, but I’d say the 7-8 year old kid who are reading at a pretty good level should be fine with just a hint of a adult help. Now if you are cut-throat, obviously they get a disadvantage from having to show someone their card to learn it, but this is not truly a game for cut throat behavior when you throw in some kids into the mix.Now as far as the the game play goes, if you have 8+ it does take a long time to go around the table and get everyone a turn and it will exceed 60 minutes, easily. However, it’s pretty rare someone isn’t engaged, either in the game or the shat, and it’s a competitive game that can kind of work for those who are not really that into heavy competition or the screw your neighbor kind of games. The theming, the unicorns themselves, the things you can do makes screwing your neighbor fun. It’s not mean spirited or tilted in favor for one particular person’s strategic aptitude.Building stable of unicorns is fun. Admiring your friend’s baby unicorn and taking it away immediately is also fun. Getting excited about a great card and then having someone neighing you… fun. Cute and cuddly, yes. Simple to play with a variety of cards and can entertain a lot of players, yes. It’s not a huge change in mechanics from what other games do, but it’s just great fun.I received this game as a gift years ago, and I’ve purchased it for others since. It’s just a great game to be able to pull out without a lot of set-up or huge explanations. Just play and have fun, and yeah, bring your kids in too!
