So much fun, but complicated set up!by JD (4 out of 5 stars)

First, I had a blast playing this with my friends. The cards themselves are hilarious and you never know what is coming your way. I love the unpredictability during game play so it doesn't get boring, even after several rounds of play. And just so you know, this isn't a fuzzy, magical and sweet unicorn game...it really is a game of destruction with some seriously scary unicorns to play with :-D My only complaint is that the game doesn't come with a full set of instructions for game play and it can look really complicated. You have to go online for all the rules and set up, but once you have it, it is easy to play.
However.... WARNING FOR TWO PLAYERS...Do not shuffle the cards before you play two players. There is a whole list of cards that have to be removed for only two players (like half the deck). We didn't discover that until after we shuffled for the first play and it was obnoxious trying to find all the cards we had to pull out. Of course, this list is online with the rules.
Otherwise, we had a blast and I will be getting the expansion packs soon!

I played with my wife and parents, now I am divorced and disowned.
Okay Okay, I'm joking. I'm not married.
But in all seriousness this game is awesome. From Super Fertile Unicorn who gives you a baby unicorn to Fat Unicorn that plays as two unicorns, the cards are creative and entertaining.
Definitely recommended
Instruction Issues - Overall fun

So here's the deal. This game is cute, funny and very creative. The problem is some directions just aren't clear enough. And worse if you have two players they ask you to go online for further instructions. Um. What? No! Put it in the box, pleeease!!! Why have they done this? Overall, with a few tweaks it would be a really dope game. We still managed to play it with a few snags along the way when we had to debate on what a particular instruction meant.
This is a great second-step in getting little kids playing strategy games!!

This is the second game that my kids played with action and character cards. The first one was Exploding Kittens, which IMO was a great start because there was really no strategy involved because there were no lasting effects nor anything you can do other than just not draw an exploding kitten.
In this game, you have to get a certain amount of unicorns in your stable. However, other players can steal and kill your unicorns, so it's enough strategy for them where they can basically pick between 3 options:
1) Build your stable
2) Defend your stable
3) Attack your opponents
That's basically it. The options are limited enough that they are able to understand after only a couple rounds of playing and it's a great starter game if you ever want to get them into MTG or some other horrifically confusing strategy game. After they perfect their strategy for this game (or get bored of it; but I plan on buying the Dragon expansion soon), I plan to introduce them to Smash Up, which adds a bit more complexity but still the same basic concept.
Fun, Fast-Pace Light Strategy Game

Bought this on a whim because I knew my wife would like it. I didn't expect much, but in playing it a couple of times, it's actually kind of fun. The instructions are deceptively simple on first glance, which causes some confusion and "negotiations" about what the rules say or mean, but once you hash out a few things, the rules are actually pretty straightforward and simple.
This is a card game that tends to be half luck based and half skill based. Certainly, the core concept and objective requires you to weigh some options and make some basic plans about how you'll attempt to meet the goal, but this game is fairly fast paced and fun because it doesn't involve or really allow long-scope planning or strategy, since what you get in your hand or what happens to you in any given round is between the luck of the draw for you and the other players and what they decide to do. The designers did a good job of incorporating some counters to various attacks by players (chiefly in the "Neigh" card and certain upgrades that will negate that card or other attacks).
Overall, it's easy to start this game and play is fairly quick, intuitive and fun. It's well balanced between outright sabotage of other players, strategy, goal setting, and luck, and there are a lot of unique upgrades, downgrades and unicorn types that make the game entertaining.
Great family card game!!!

My family and I love this game. I play it with my wife and my 11 year old daughter. This game is fine to play with a kid her age. The instructions are easy to understand as are the directions on the specific cards. GREAT GAME!!!
No friends left after this game!

Fun little game! Although marked for a minimum of 2 players, I suggest playing with at least 4. I tried it with 2 players and quickly realized how much more fun it would have been if there were more than 2 people. The main goal of the game is to screw everyone over by stealing their unicorns. So while you're screwing people over, people are screwing you are so you have to strategically use your cards correctly to take the win. It's less pleasing when you are forced to attack the same person over and over. Overall, good game, would play again!
Funnest game ever!

This game is so much fun! I actually bought it for my daughters 12th birthday (unicorn theme) and it went over great! Boys and girls had a blast trying to sabotage each other to win. This game has become such a favorite with my kids that my 13 year old son even brought it to school for a game day in one of his classes!
Cards idea is cool and cards are hillarious
by Tavo (3 out of 5 stars)

Cards idea is cool and cards are hillarious, but they are smaller and darker than the original set of cards, you can clearly and easily identify them among the original cards on the deck affecting the gameplay a lot. To be able to play the game with both original and expansion decks you will be required to purchase card sleeves.
By the time you get it, you're over it.

There is a lot that is charming and witty about this game, namely the humor which threads through its way through the descriptions on the cards but I have to say, the game never really "clicked' and no one was having a particularly good time playing it. This is targeted at a specific group of people, so a lot of references - like the use of the word "basic' and "pumpkin spice' - played well with some people, but for others, like my parents, they were utterly lost. But my main issue is that it's pretty confusing to play until you've played a couple of rounds and gotten used to the cards, but by this time, everyone was kind of over the game. It just isn't a game which plays well right out of the box, with everyone in the room. Purchase wisely for the right group of people - namely millennials - who are willing to stick with it.
