## Description
Get ready for a dazzling explosion of glitter and rainbows with Fancyprance, the Fabulous Unicorn! This addition to the Beasts of Balance world brings a touch of magic and a whole lot of fabulousness to your tower. By stacking Fancyprance, you summon this incredible creature, capable of unleashing a cascade of rainbows (yes, you read that right!) into your game. 

In cooperative mode, Fancyprance is a game-changer. It not only adds a new challenge to the already precarious tower but also unlocks the creation of bizarre and wonderful hybrid beasts, such as the Squigglehorn and the Heavenly Hoghoof. Just imagine the glorious mess these new critters can cause! 

But the fun doesn't stop there. Once you and your friends have mastered the art of stacking and have built your elemental base, the Battles mode opens up. And that's where Fancyprance's rainbow-poop power comes into play, literally! Use this unique ability to boost your region's score and secure victory. 

With minimal text on the cards and easy-to-grasp rules, Fancyprance is an expansion that injects more color, chaos, and strategic fun into Beasts of Balance. It's perfect for those who already enjoy the base game and want more wacky creatures and moments of pure dexterity. Get your hands ready and good luck with the stacking!
