Fun fast paced easy strategy game

I bought this game on a whim knowing my wife would love it. I wasn't expecting much but once you play it a few times it's really fun. The instructions are deceptively simple at first, leading to some confusion and "negotiation" as to what the rules say or mean, but once you get a few things straight, the rules are actually quite simple and straightforward. based half on luck and half on skill. Sure, the core concept and goal requires you to weigh some options and make some basic plans as you try to reach the goal, but this game is pretty fast-paced and fun as it doesn't require or really allow foresight. Planning or strategy because what you get into your hand or what happens to you in any given round depends on the luck of the draw for you and the other players and what they decide to do. The designers have done a good job providing some counters against various player attacks (mainly the Whinny card and certain buffs that negate that card or other attacks). intuitive and fun. It's well balanced between outright sabotage of other players, strategy, goal setting and luck, as well as lots of unique upgrades, downgrades and unicorn types that keep the game interesting.
