Read the full game description

Unicornus Knights is a cooperative fantasy campaign compressed into a single scenario-driven battle. A modular map places the fallen capital at its center and enemy generals across the surrounding lands. Each player commands a kingdom hero with soldiers, resources, movement, combat abilities, and a personal fate that can turn particular enemies into allies. Princess Cornelia advances under automatic priorities and will charge toward the capital whether or not the path is safe, so the group must clear routes, reinforce her army, and sometimes manipulate the board to prevent a disastrous engagement. Events strengthen the empire over ten rounds, while defeated characters and random relationships reshape the available tactics. Victory requires the princess to reach the capital alive and overcome the emperor before time expires.
