at Ligare, we think the best conversations happen when you’re plotting a rainbow unicorn coup with someone you met five minutes ago. whether you’ve never shuffled a deck or you already own the NSFW expansion, here’s everything you need to know to wrangle magical mini‑horses—and maybe win a few new friends along the way.

time to unleash the

(unstable) unicorns.

what the game Is:

Unstable Unicorns is a fast, delightfully chaotic card game about collecting unicorns and deploying surprise twists. One turn you’re nurturing a Baby Unicorn; the next you’re unleashing a Neigh card that cancels your friend’s master plan. It’s part strategy, part sabotage, all laughter.🪄

why we chose It for ligare:

  • Quick teach, instant table banter—every card reads like a meme.

  • Built‑in ice‑breakers: playing a “Blatant Thievery” card is a very polite way to say hi, I like you but I’m stealing your unicorn.

  • Swingy endings keep egos soft: no one’s safe, everyone’s engaged.

objective: be the first to build a stable of  7 unicorns while quietly demolishing everyone else’s.

how it works: draw a card, play a card, watch chaos sparkle.

turn flow

The beauty of the Unicorns: easy to pick up, easy to play, lots of zany interaction.

  1. Draw one card.

  2. Play one card (or pass), and do what the card says.

  3. Resolve any abilities or interactions with other cards.

  4. Stable Check: If you hit 7 unicorns, cue the victory neigh!

card types

You start the game with 1 Baby Unicorn, you just need 6 more! On your turn, you can just play a Unicorn…or you can go for other forms of mayhem.

pro tips

FAQ:

“I’ve never played—hard to learn?”
Five minutes and one practice turn. The cards literally tell you what to do.

“Isn’t it all luck?”
Luck plus timing plus reading people’s poker faces. (And yes, a glitter bomb or two.)

“What if I hate being mean?”
Perfect—cancel someone’s sabotage with a Neigh and you’ll be the hero.

  • Keep one Neigh in hand—insurance policy and power move.

  • Blend cute + ruthless: Baby Unicorns lull people into ignoring your real threats.

  • Read the room: The best play is often social—ally up, then back‑stab lovingly.
