PRODUCTION UPDATE

December 2020 - With the release of the 2nd Edition Expansions(2E), the card backs may appear to be a different shade than previous releases. This change in color is due to the use of CMYK color printing. The color difference is due to inconsistencies with the nature of CMYK ink. Work is still in progress on minimizing color inconsistencies in future printing of Unstable Unicorns 2nd Edition. Some copies of Rainbow Apocalypse(2E) and NSFW expansion(2E) with a DoM Dec 2020 have mistakenly had second print packaged instead. Please contact Teeturtle customer service if found.

All expansion box covers have the 2nd Edition "cuddly unicorn" (2E) symbol printed in the bottom right corner.

The NSFW expansion has been discontinued.
