The world’s most vicious dictators raise from their graves to decide who is the ultimate bad ass. Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Saddam and Kim, joined by Putin, Trump, THE HONEY BADGER and others face one another in a final showdown. However, Mother Nature realizes that such a huge war will be the end of our planet, so she sends to the rescue THE RAINBOW VOMITING UNICORNS. According to an old prophesy, if a rainbow touches you, your gender changes. Thus, the evil dictators turn into nice old ladies, who instead of waging war, gift each other worm knit socks and go pony riding together.

Dictators vs. Unicorns is a fighting card game in which you take control of up to 3 character cards, that have an evil dictator on one side, and a nice old lady on the other. Your goal is to destroy your opponents’ characters before they destroy yours.

To deal damage to your opponents’ characters, you throw different action cards at them. There are 2 types of action cards – evil cards, that can be played only by the dictators and good cards, that can be played only by the old ladies. They all deal different amounts of damage: Evil cards deal normal damage to dictators and severe damage to the helpless old ladies. Good cards deal high damage to the dictators, because they hurt their ego and heal the other old ladies, instead of hurting them.

All dictators and old ladies have unique special skills they can use, by sacrificing health points. You can use the unicorn cards to turn your or your opponents’ dictators into old ladies or vice versa. You do that in order to use a specific skill, play a good or an evil action card, or deal a specific damage to a specific character. During your turn, you can do any of the following actions: Use a dictator to play an evil action card from your hand and deal damage to other dictators or old ladies. Use an old lady to play a good action card from your hand and either deal damage to other dictators or heal an old lady. Use any of your character's special skills.

You can use the unicorn cards in your hand at any single moment of the game – during your turn or during your opponent’s turn – in order to affect the gameplay in endless unexpected ways.

Will you be Saddam, or Miss Husain? Will you send Nazi zombies to eat your opponent’s brains or defeat them by giving them cute puppy presents which will destroy their evil dignity Witness a Third World War like no other, fought with poo mines and cotton candy, and rainbow vomit all over the place.
