  1. 7.5 out of 10

    This game its a really fun betting game, and can run pretty quick after a few plays. Of course this is still luck based because of the cards and also die, but you always feel that you have an opportunity to win even when you fall behind

  2. 9 out of 10

    What appears to be a simple, straight forward betting game quickly becomes strategic chaos. The game looks a bit overwhelming at first for new players due to the vast options of actions one can take on their turn, but once those 5 actions are known then you can really get a game done quick. However, at no point will a game take 40 minutes; even with 2 players who know the game we are clocking in around 60 minutes. I would add another 20 minutes per player on top of the base 60 minute play time for 2 player if you are looking for a rough time gage (5 player = 2 hours). I play this with my girlfriend and she is obsessed with it now; definitely playable for couples. Games remain engaging as they have a nice mechanic for "contracts," which are special abilities gained throughout the course of the game. You may only have 2 of the 5 available contracts in any one game, and thus the new combinations of contracts and when they come out result in quite a different game being played every time. We have played 2 player over 10 times and are still whooping and hollerin for our unicorns to get over that finish line! If you play with more than 2 players, be prepared for quite a few twists and turns throughout the course of the game and at the end! Honestly, has rocketed into being one of my top games due to the perfect balancing act of strategic vs random elements. The theme is perfect; art is absolutely amazing as well and definitely will make you smile.

    Good silly fun with enough mechanism to satisfy an experience player and plenty of goofiness for the new to the hobby player. Looks very colourful and wacky.

Unicorn Fever is a betting game in which unwitting unicorns and their mindless desire to run on rainbows are exploited by unscrupulous citizen of the fairy realm, for profit… and glory!

Each player is a wealthy bettor, determined to be recognised as a the most skillful unicorn-race wagerer of the Unicorn Racing Championship and hold the title until the next rainbow appears. During 4 races, players will try to place successful bets to gain Victory Points and Gold.

To reach their goal, they will buy Contracts with unscrupulous citizens of the fairy realm to hire their services and turn the odds of the race in their favor, play Magic cards to straight up fix it, and try to avoid squandering all their hard-earned Gold and be forced to ask the Elf-Mob for Loans. At the end of the Championship, the player with the most Victory Points will be the winner!

>> GAMEPLAY

HOW DOES THE RACE WORK?
In Unicorn Fever the race is managed by an AI mechanism. When the race starts, you won’t be able to perform any action: the unicorns will freely run and sprint on the board. All you can do is watch the race unfold, shouting and cheering for your favorite unicorn!

WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS OF THE PLAYERS, THEN?
Players will perform 3 actions before each race, allowing them to fix the race with Magic, place Bets, hire shady characters to gain special abilities, or even perform combos between the above.
Since the action tokens available are limited, you will also have to read the intentions of your opponents and perform the actions you need before it is too late!

WHO WINS?
Players obtain Victory Points and money with each of their successful Bets over the course of 4 races. Bets can be placed on Victory (5VPs), or Podium (3 or 2 VPs). On average, unicorns with better odds run faster than those with the worse odds, but successful bets on slower unicorns pay better! Players must take risks and play wisely to turn the odds to their favor!
