Thanks @acestrikerz its in stock @ Target.

https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07BMLQBM1

Lowest price on this has been $17 but have not seen that for a while. At $20 this is a great buy and even though the box says its for 14+, I found that even my 8 year old found this game relatively easy to play.

Build a Unicorn Army. Betray your friends. Unicorns are your friends now. Unstable Unicorns is a strategic card game about everyones two favorite things: Destruction and Unicorns! From the back of the box: Learn how unstable your friendships really are. You start with a Baby Unicorn in your Stable. SO CUTE! But don't get too attached, because even Baby Unicorns aren't safe in this game! There are over 20 Magical Unicorns to collect, and each has a special power. Build your Unicorn Army as fast as you can, or be destroyed by one of your so-called friends! Seek revenge or protect your stable using your Magic! Sound easy? Not so fast. Someone could have a Neigh Card (Get it? Neigh?) and send the game into MADNESS! The first person to complete their Unicorn Army shall hereafter be known as The Righteous Ruler of All Things Magical. at least until the next game. Good luck. Contents: 135 cards and rule book.

    Anyone played this game before? How does it compare to Exploding Kittens, for instance?

    • bg on 20/07/2020 - 11:40

      Much better than exploding kittens. Requires a lot more strategic thinking. Exploding kittens a dud in our house, but unstable unicorns a winner. (Family with 3 kids - aged 10-15)

      I have not played Exploding kittens (waiting for it go down in price) but I found this article an interesting read

        What a great website. Thanks.

    • luizmarin on 20/07/2020 - 12:06

      is just better made, the quality and gameplay is better

      They're two different kinds of games honestly. If you enjoy the art style and humour of Exploding Kittens, but you're after something with a bit more depth and strategy, you'll love Unstable Unicorns. It gets a lot of play in my game groups.

      It isn't super strategic though. I'd liken it to a game like Munchkin in terms of strategy and complexity.

    • JakeyJooJoo on 20/07/2020 - 14:43

      TBH I find this game gets stale, each game of unicorns ends up being exactly the same. It goes for an hour+, and everyone is just preventing each other from winning. The game objective = don't let anyone else win, and stockpile neighs.

    • S2 on 20/07/2020 - 15:31

      This is more like monopoly deal where you're collecting unicorns. Very different to Exploding Kittens.

    • jaycn on 20/07/2020 - 17:04

      I have both. I'm not much of a board game person though.

      Exploding kittens a lot more casual, quick 20min rounds and doesn't require brain power.
      I generally whip out Unicorns when there are too many players for exploding kittens, but then it usually takes my group of noobs/first timers 60mins+ to get a winner. need to come up with a strategy to win or wait until everyone is tired from failing to win after 60mins.

    eBay sells them for around $20 also (I know many are counterfeits), what are the usual prices for these?

    • theknight27 on 20/07/2020 - 14:59

      Just bought the Target one and an eBay version of the NSFW edition for $17. Will refund the eBay if it's counterfeit.

      • profounddominator on 20/07/2020 - 15:24

          Often dodgy printing (blurry text or washed colours). Can never be 100% sure though, especially if it's a good fake.

      • JimmmyF on 22/07/2020 - 19:01

            @theknight27: Sorting out my refund right now. They didn't even bother to send the right one. It was a counterfeit of the kickstarter exclusive black box with 1st edition cards

    can confirm it's a great game! it drags on for a long time if you have more than 4 players though. 3 or 4 players makes for a great quick game

    • Yogi555 on 10/08/2020 - 14:27

      Is this game similar to Monopoly? I already have 2 different Monopoly games and don't want to invest on another similar one …

    I have to admit I found this game hard to follow, was confused about which cards you had to go through at the start of each turn, which ones you could transfer from your hand to your stable, etc. Need a straightforward explanation of the rules.

    • edrift on 24/08/2020 - 10:24

      I know it says ages 14+, but would younger kids (primary school) be able to play this or is it inappropriate for the younger audience?

      • klaw81 on 24/08/2020 - 10:28
        +5

        It doesn't have inappropriate language or concepts. The game itself is simple, but the ability to interpret cards and understand how they interact with each other requires some level of reasoning ability.

        I would suggest that younger kids could play it just fine, but they may need an older adjudicator at times to settle arguments.

      • Quiexo on 24/08/2020 - 10:39
        +1

        Currently getting into the game with my 6 year old and 9 year old…the 6 year old needs some help occasionally interpreting the cards, but otherwise no issues…

        It did take us a little while to get into it though, but it's pretty fun once we got over that hump..

    • MrBillions on 24/08/2020 - 10:29

      bought this for my 8 year old and then after i saw the comments i cancelled the order

      Even though intended for ages 14 and up, the game contains a fair bit of adult-oriented, explicitly sexual humor, even without its NSFW expansion pack

      • edrift on 24/08/2020 - 10:37
        +2

        Cool thanks for sharing. Almost bought this for my kids. Daughter loves unicorns.

        • Spud McDoug on 24/08/2020 - 10:45

          I bought it for my daughter when she was 9 or 10, as she also loves unicorns. There are a couple of cards which are a little risque, but I removed them before I gave it too her, and she is none the wiser. By memory it's fine once those two cards are removed. (Even those two aren't terrible compared to some of the stuff kids her age are being exposed to, but I tend to err on the conservative side with these things.)

          In terms of the mechanics of the game, they could play it just fine from that age.

              @GC67: You're stretching my memory.

              I had a look around, I think it was the Seductive Unicorn and something else. The seductive unicorn isn't dramatically risque in the scheme of things, but we try to avoid exposing our kids to unnecessarily sexualising material at this age.

              • jv on 24/08/2020 - 12:05

                @Spud McDoug:

                but we try to avoid exposing our kids to unnecessarily sexualising material at this age.

                That would mean not listening to modern music or watching youtube.

                  @jv: Yep.

                  (The only way to avoid it altogether would be join some sort of commune, but we more realistically we can certainly reduce and manage what they are exposed to.)

      • klaw81 on 24/08/2020 - 10:51
        +7

        Not sure what game that's reviewing, but it's simply not true. I just went though the entire base game cards, one by one……there is absolutely nothing crude or NSFW about it. There are ZERO sexual references.

        The most explicit things I found were an "extremely fertile unicorn" (a card that allows baby unicorns to be spawned more quickly) and a "seductive unicorn" that attracts other unicorns to your stable.

        There are also a number of cards implying violence "Stabby unicorn," "Shark with a knife" and "Unicorn poison."

        I would happily let kids play this game, so long as they're capable of reading and understanding the cards - it's pretty word-heavy at times. Again, there's nothing inappropriate, suggestive or explicit in the base game.

        Obviously the NSFW expansion cards are a very different story.

        • edrift on 24/08/2020 - 15:17

          Thanks. Decided to order the one off eBay for $16.99 with free express post for eBay plus members.

        I have this game, play it fairly often, THE BASE GAME does not have any sexual humour at all and definitely not adult oriented. The only version that has those cards are the NSFW one.
