About the game
Get ready for more chaos and fun with Unstable Unicorns: Control! This expansion, which can be played as a standalone game, brings a special focus on protective magic and the art of manipulating your deck. If you like the idea of having more control over your cards' fate and defending yourself from your friends' attacks, this might be the right choice.

With 158 new cards, including 30 exclusives not found in other versions, and the legendary holographic 'Archangel Unicorn' card, Control promises to add an interesting strategic layer to the already chaotic Unstable Unicorns experience. The game maintains the essence of collecting unicorns and using cards to sabotage opponents, but with a touch of planning and defense.

It's important to note that, as with other games in the series, language can be a barrier. A translated spreadsheet or printed cards with translations are recommended for non-English speakers. Despite this, the gameplay is accessible, blending hand management with the pure mischief of 'take that,' all wrapped in a theme of cute but treacherous unicorns. Perfect for those who already love the franchise and want more options, or for those looking for a quick, fun card game with a bit of slyness to liven up the party.
