Unicorn Stew, by Redshift Games, bubbles over with creative charm and simple, engaging mechanics that make it an excellent choice for family game nights or gatherings with friends. The components are as delightful as the gameplay, featuring vivid cards decorated with whimsical illustrations of mythical creatures and magical ingredients. The game can be easily taken to parties or played on the go, adding a dash of enchantment wherever it’s played. This was the perfect game to keep in my purse for an impromptu game. I will post some fun cards with beautiful artwork.

In the enchanting realm of Unicorn Stew, the culinary chaos isn’t just about cooking; it’s a delightful blend of strategy and whimsy, wrapped in a magical unicorn theme. This delightful game, designed for 3-6 players, turns a normal game night into a fantastical feast that’s suitable for ages 8 and up, ensuring that everyone from little sprouts to grand sages can join in the fun.

The game is simple yet filled with hearty laughs: you’re a chef in a magical kingdom where the King’s cravings are as unpredictable as a dragon’s flight path. He might yearn for something gourmet and Ogreish or crave a dish that’s quick and Pegasusy. It’s up to you and your fellow chefs to whip up the most outlandish dishes imaginable. Could you satisfy his majesty with a Pegasus Pot Pie or perhaps some Fairy Kabobs?

Gameplay involves each chef (player) choosing cards from their hand that they believe best match the King’s current culinary whim. Each round, a King’s Menu card is flipped, revealing his desired meal mood.

The Street Food card is the Menu card. Notice the creature and color of the King’s order, the blue mermaid. The second card is a blue gnome, which is good. The third card is a mermaid of a different color, that is better. But the best is the mermaid of the same color.

Players then select Order cards, aiming to either meet these desires directly or cleverly sabotage their culinary competitors. Be wary though, as doubles cancel each other out, and while Unicorn Stew is a strong play, it’s not unbeatable if sabotage is afoot.

Winning requires either collecting three Menu cards of the same ingredient or five of the same dining preference. It’s a quick-paced game that lasts about 20-30 minutes, making it perfect for those looking for entertainment without a lengthy commitment.

The game brilliantly balances cooperative strategies and competitive sabotage, keeping every chef on their toes. Whether you’re strategizing to craft the perfect dish or plotting to toss a little chaos into someone else’s pot, Unicorn Stew serves up a delicious mix of laughter and challenge. Grab your spoons and spell books, chefs, and prepare for a magical cook-off at the royal table!
