Description
--- **In Unicorns in the Clouds** is a whimsical dice-rolling race game where players collect cloud crystals while navigating hazards and bonuses en route to the sun. Key mechanics include: - *Movement resolution* Players roll the blue storm die to advance 1-3 clouds or stay put by eating a muffin, which causes them to forget the race. - *Crystal acquisition* Landing on pink clouds triggers a roll of the crystal die for 1-3 crystals. - *Crystal transfer* Landing on presents requires giving a crystal from the reserve to another player. - *Rainbow sliding* Landing on the front end of a rainbow propels the unicorn along the path to the next cloud. - *Victory condition* First player to the final cloud claims its four crystals; totals are then compared to determine the winner with the most crystals. In Unicorns in the Clouds, players embody magical unicorns racing from the starting thundercloud toward the sun, aiming to gather the highest number of cloud crystals. All unicorns begin on the thundercloud. Each turn involves rolling the blue storm die, resulting in movement of 1-3 clouds forward or halting in place to eat a muffin, temporarily forgetting the race, crystals, and objectives. Specific landings trigger effects: pink clouds yield 1-3 crystals via the crystal die roll; presents force transferring one reserve crystal to another player; and rainbow fronts enable sliding along the rainbow path to the subsequent cloud. The first unicorn reaching the final cloud seizes its four crystals, after which players tally holdings to crown the victor who has "horned their way to victory." ---
