Shameless plug: for more gaming news and content (including, for example, pictures of Unicorn Fever: Royal Hooves that I am unfortunately not able to upload on RPG.net for the time being), and to better keep track of my reviews, subscribe to my Antonios S facebook and twitter page.Internet should be free and equal to everyone. To find out more about Unicorn Fever: Royal Hooves and Horrible Guild take a look at. If you want to pimp your copy of Unicorn Fever (especially if you are dead set on painting the funky minis) it can be worth it, and even more so if you find it a discounted price. The 2 / 2 reflects this lack of the gaming material one expects to see in a game expansion. At the present price, I would have enjoyed more gaming content like alternatives for the existing actions, more magic cards, more contracts, or even a gaming aid with the pay out rates for the different bets that was sorely missing from the base game.Д¬onclusion: Unicorn Fever: Royal Hooves is a toy expansion with a sprinkling of new gaming content. Even then however I would have preferred seeing it around the 10 EUR mark. If you are more into substance than style, this is a bad ratio unless one buys it for the cute and whimsical miniatures. I personally don't mind when companies do that in order to publish an expansion that wouldn't have otherwise made financial sense, yet I don't want to sugarcoat it either.ДЇrom a strict gaming perspective, the expansion offers three new lines of rules for a cost of just under 15 euros. The new content is found in the cards, of which we get three times five, in order to accommodate the five languages the base game has been published in. The weak points: The miniatures in the expansion are a perk, yet they are not meaningful game-wise since this is not a miniatures-based game. As I wrote in the base review, I am certain that the true afficionados are likely to paint them for the laughs. There's some thing really endearing about unicorns resembling pigs more than anything else. Production-wise the miniatures themselves are very cute, and in line with the ones found in the base game. The new additions create quirkier games, increased bluffing opportunities, improve the interaction and take-that between players, and come out as positive overall.

Having an underdog, as per the odds, with an active Fever card of such intensity subverts the premise behind betting. They could be potentially perceived as overpowered, (a minimum of 2 per movement no matter what? Woah!) yet that is not a problem. The strong points: More unicorn options are always welcome, and even more so if they increase the interaction between players. The Fever abilities are the following: immediately gain 5 gold when placing a bet on a unicorn, a unicorn that has a minimum movement value of 2 no matter what, and a unicorn that forces other players to pay you one gold each when you place a bet on her. Some of them will randomly substitute some of the unicorns in the base game.

Gameplay: The expansion adds three new unicorn miniatures alongside three new Fever cards. In addition to a small leaflet containing the rules in five languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian) the expansion contains three miniatures and 15 Fever cards (3 cards per aforementioned language). The present expansion does not alter the player count or the game's running time. It is reminded that the base game is a betting, luck-based game with a fantasy racing theme that can accommodate from two to six player in around one hour. What you get: Your EUR 14,90 or equivalent will buy you Unicorn Fever: Royal Hooves, the first and only expansion, for the time being at least, for the Unicorn Fever game line.

The Unicorn Fever base game is required to play.' This expansion for Unicorn Fever contains three additional Unicorn miniatures and cards, to expand the roster of unicorns available during your races and spice up your games with exciting new Fever abilities! Review Summary: More of a toy than a game expansion to be honest.Д«lurb from the publisher: 'More unicorns, more fun!
