About the game

What you do in a play session

If you are already a fan of Unstable Unicorns and feel your deck needs an extra dose of chaos, the Rainbow Apocalypse Expansion Pack is exactly what you have been looking for. This expansion is a powerful combo that brings together the 'Rainbow Sprinkles' and 'Apocalypse' sets, which were originally part of the game's first Kickstarter campaign. It includes 54 new cards that promise to raise the level of destruction at your table, perfectly balancing the cuteness of unicorns with the end of the world.

What makes this pack special is the variety. You get cards that allow you to attack your friends with deceptive sweetness or simply unleash a total apocalypse to flip the game on its head. The mechanics remain that classic 'Take That' style we love to hate: you play a card to strengthen your board, and the next turn, you watch your favorite unicorn get sacrificed by someone you swore was your ally. It is the type of expansion that does not change the core rules but adds layers of unpredictability that make every game session unique.

If you enjoy fast-paced card games where interaction is constant and betrayal is part of the strategy, this expansion is a must-have. It keeps the low weight of the original game, making it easy to explain to new players, while adding that extra spice that prevents the game from feeling stale. It is perfect for game nights with friends, where the main goal is to laugh, get revenge on whoever attacked you in the previous round, and, of course, try to build your unicorn army before the world ends. Since the base game supports up to 8 players, adding these 54 new cards helps keep the deck fresh, ensuring no one knows exactly what to expect from the next draw. Get ready to destroy friendships (in a fun way) and watch chaos reign supreme in your stable. Just try not to get too mad when that apocalyptic unicorn destroys your strategy at the very last second!

How many cards are in the pack?
The pack contains 54 cards in total, consisting of 27 cards from each of the original expansions (Rainbow Sprinkles and Apocalypse).
Does this expansion change the game rules significantly?
No, the core rules remain the same. The new cards simply add more options and chaotic effects to your turns.
