The creative minds behind the cute and sadistic card game, Unstable Unicorns, have already blown through their initial funding goal for their Kickstarter-exclusive Control & Chaos expansion. For those unfamiliar with Unstable Unicorns, it’s a game about raising baby unicorns into the bestest-strongest army and mercilessly defeating your enemies. Since the base game originally launched last year, the developers have released three expansions, but Control & Chaos promises new ways to destroy friendships.
This expansion will not only contain 158 new cards featuring new character, effects, and artwork, but it also comes with new rules and mechanics that can shape the gameplay into an entirely different experience—like you’re playing the game again for the first time. Some of those new mechanics include Instant cards and Magic card, which immediately counter any damage from an opposing unicorn army. One of those But fans of Unstable Unicorns will want to become a backer for this Kickstarter for much more than that: it’s a chance to put your ideas in front of the developers. Have an idea for a new character or something else? They want to hear what you’ve got in mind and will live stream their artists bringing your ideas to life, from conception to color to finished product.
The Unstable Unicorns developers have also done away with traditional stretch-goals for their Control & Chaos campaign. Instead, they’ve already unlocked all the upgrades and are turning their stretch-goals in what they describe as a “personalized, backer-oriented direction.” For every $10,000 the Unstable Unicorns team raise, one lucky backer will be drawn as a unicorn. If you’ve always wanted to be immortalized as one of your favorite fantasy creatures, now is your chance. In addition, every one of those drawings will be compiled into a Special Edition Art Book at the end of the campaign for those lucky unicorns to enjoy.
Want to get in on the fun? Head on over to the Unstable Unicorns: Control & Chaos Kickstarter page and get a pledge in for something you didn’t know you needed in your life. The campaign ends on September 14, so don’t procrastinate. For more information on the base card game and the existing expansions, check out the Unstable Unicorns website.
