WHY RENT THIS ONE

Why it's worth a spot on your weekend

“Cute unicorns. Completely unreasonable behavior.”

Unstable Unicorns looks innocent sitting on the shelf. Then the unicorns start attacking each other. It's a great rental for older kids, teens, and adults who enjoy light strategy mixed with plenty of take-that chaos.

The basic idea is easy to understand, but there are enough cards and combinations to keep repeat games interesting. If your group likes games where friendships are tested in the funniest possible way, this one belongs on the table. It's cute, colorful, compact, and considerably more ruthless than its unicorn artwork suggests.

Good to know

  • Table space

    Fits on a small table, or a lap if it comes to that.

  • Reading load

    There is real reading involved — not the best pick if someone at the table is still learning to read.

  • Getting knocked out

    Nobody gets knocked out. Everyone plays to the last turn.

  • Pausing mid-game

    Easy to pause. If someone has to step out, the table survives.

  • Setup time

    Basically no setup — you are playing within a couple of minutes.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Renting, answered

Can I rent Unstable Unicorns near Plattekill?

Yes — Unstable Unicorns is part of the Deep Space Family Games game shelf, available to rent by the night around Plattekill and the wider Hudson Valley area. Roughly 30 minutes out from Plattekill in every direction — delivery and local pickup only. Nothing to walk into.

Is requesting Unstable Unicorns a real reservation?

No — every button on this page is a request, not a booking. Deep Space Family Games doesn't run live availability, so we confirm by hand once you tell us you want Unstable Unicorns and when.

What happens if a piece from Unstable Unicorns goes missing?

Unstable Unicorns, like every game on the shelf, is counted against a written list before it goes out and again when it comes back, so a missing piece is a conversation with a number behind it, not a guess.
