How To Play

TAKING TURNS
The youngest player goes first, and players take turns going around the table in a circle. After your turn, the player to your left goes next.

Phase 1:

  • DRAW a card from the deck

Phase 2: Take ONE of the following actions:

  • Play a Unicorn card from your hand.
  • Play a Magic card from your hand.
  • DRAW another card from the deck.

If the deck runs out of cards at any point, shuffle the discard pile and place it facedown in the center of the table to make your new deck.

Type Of Cards

Unicorn cards have a horn symbol in the top left corner. After you play a Unicorn card, it stays in your Stable unless it is destroyed, take, or traded.

There are 2 different types of Unicorn cards: BABY Unicorn cards and Colorful Unicorn cards. Baby Unicorn cards have a gray corner. Each player starts with one Baby Unicorn card. Baby Unicorn cards cannot leave your Stable.

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. If you have a Unicorn card in your Stable with a matching symbol, though, you may play the Magic card from your hand without discarding another card! After you play a Magic card, move it to the discard pile.

Neigh card have an exclamation point symbol in the top left corner, which is pink. You may play a Neigh card to stop another player from playing any card. This is the only type of card that can be used that can be played during another player's turn. You can even use a Neigh card to stop another Neigh card!

End Of The Game

The first player to collect 7 Unicorns in their Stable wins!
