Kill the Unicorns - An Enchanted Card Game For Evil Geniuses

Kill the Unicorns is a blind bidding and collection card game. You play as one of the Queendom's unique characters - catch as many unicorns as you can, ideally without accidentally capturing a smelly unicorn or a Pigicorn!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Pledge Manager
over 6 years ago – Wed, Jan 31, 2018 at 10:38:55 PM

Hello everyone,

Just a quick message to tell you that we are finishing setting the PM as we speak. 

So we chose to go through Backerkit. After trying a bunch of other solutions it seemed to be the best option for this time.

We are making a first trial wave to make sure everything is alright, some of you will receive their PM soon and we expect the rest of the backers to get it tomorrow or Friday max :)

We are soo excited to launch this PM as we had a lot of people asking for it.

By the way, still working on finishing the expansion and we are gathering some new stuff to show you in a larger update. Here is a really cool one that we couldn't wait to share:

We'll keep you posted friends !

Cheers,

We have the illustrations for the expansion!

Happy New Year Unicorn Hunters!

We’re back, we’re rested, and we’re ready to tackle Part II of this adventure!

We wanted to give you a status update as we’ve had a bunch of messages and comments, so here’s an update that should keep you tied over until our next news!

We are currently finishing to build the pledge manager, we are trying to design it so that everything is included (address, what box you want, any extras, etc) but also very user friendly, so that everyone can complete it without any trouble. Once the pledge manager is ready we will send it out to all of you, we estimate this to be at the end of January!

We are also finalizing the design of the expansion box, double checking that the colour of the plush Pigicorn is absolutely perfect, and of course fine-tuning the surprise we promised you!

If you have any questions for now be sure to comment below and let us know!

Happy Hunting,

The Morning Team

That’s All, Folks!

T H A N K  Y O U ! ! ! !

Thank you, personally to each and every one of you 7 924 - We did it! Together we have not only funded Kill the Unicorns and turned a 3-year-old dream into reality, but thanks to you, we also got to add some really cool extras to it!

We were blown away, truly, by the number of Unicorn Hunters that joined the cause and banded together to raise awareness of the threat that is unicorn pollution. Everyone also gets a really cool game ;-)

We are also delighted to announce that we reached more than $300 000 in funding, and we promised you a special surprise, but you have to wait for your pledge to arrive with you to find out what it is. We might give you a few hints along the way ;-)

Now that our campaign is finished, we are going to take a few days off to get some rest and also celebrate the holidays, but we’ll be back early next year with our production timeline and everything else that is going on in the Morning HQ! We will be launching the Pledge Manager where you will confirm your shipping address and pay for the shipping fees, choose if you want to adjust your pledge, and chose your language, we will place the orders with the factory and start operation “Clone Pigicorn”, etc.

We also wanted to thank the entire team who worked tirelessly for the past 30 days, Levi, our incredible illustrator, Loïc, Alain and Cyril who were available day and night to work out the rules and gameplay, our incredible Ambassadors (Alexander, David, Elise, Jonas, Katarzyna, Francisco, Shady, Botond, Riccardo, Federico, Valentin...), guys, you ROCK!! And most of all you, our backers, who faced our challenges every day and unlocked every single one of the stretch goals, no matter how hard it was!

Don’t hesitate to continue sending us your unicorn pics and Kill the Unicorns parties (if you printed the PnP or when you’ll receive it) the #KillTheUnicorns hashtag will be still working. We wish you happy (unicorn free) holidays and we’ll be back in 2018!

The Morning team (Juliette, Simon, Valentin, Tim, Rahim, Mathieu, Romain, Mathieu aka Joe, Anaïs). 

48H left and a last Stretch Goal to unlock!
over 6 years ago – Mon, Dec 25, 2017 at 11:31:39 PM

Hello everybody!

GuuuuuuuuYYYSssss.... It’s last 48H starting now ! 

Only 3 challenges remaining to unlock the last SG and some are really close: 

- Send us a picture where you cosplay as one of the Queendom’s characters - 7/10 

 

 

 

- Build a snow-version of one of the characters - 8/10

 

 

- Bake KTU Holiday-themed cookies - 6/10

 

 

The remaining Stretch Goal includes the 6 new “order cards” which will be Kickstarter exclusive and awesome :)

We know it’s going to be a bit complicated to unlock all those challenges before the end (especially if you don’t have any snow)… That’s why we thought of a very cool way to give you some help; adding the “SUPER ACHIEVEMENTS”. Those achievements will worth 3 and get you the last SG automatically : 

- Reach $300k 

- Reach 8000 backers

If you manage to get 5 additional challenges after the last SG, then you might reach…. The secret SG. A cool surprise that we had in mind and that we will add to every box if you really get that awesome. You want to know it now? NO… It’s a surprise.

Call friends, call family and let’s get to $300k or 8000 backers. Each one of the actual backers would only have to bring ⅓ of a backer to reach the goals… Which is gross… So feel free to bring a full new backer :D

We are counting on you to share the Facebook and Twitter Kickstarter post if you haven't done it yet! 

Stay tuned for the end of the campaign and happy hunting!

PS: We had a guy sharing 500+ times the Facebook post on a fake Facebook page… Not cool. So this is not valid of course, hope the mega achievements makes up for the disappointment :)
