Colorful Unicorn cards feature 1 of 8 colors and a color-specific symbol in the bottom left corner. Colorful Unicorn cards can be paired with Magic cards that have a matching symbol to cast powerful spells.
Magic cards have a star symbol in the top left corner and 1 of 8 colors and symbols that match the Colorful Unicorn cards. Each type of Magic card has a special effect that will allow you to do things like trade hands with another player or swap Unicorn cards.
Each Magic card requires you to discard a different card from your hand in order to use its effect.
