About

Unkind

Features
Read full description

Unkind is a competitive multiplayer board game that blends classic token-racing strategy with chaotic action-card combat. Roll the die, move your pieces around the board, build fuel, and play powerful cards that can protect your position or wreck someone else’s plan. What starts as a familiar race quickly becomes a battle of timing, disruption, and nerve. Use movement boosts, shields, swaps, traps, freezes, turn reversals, and high-impact chaos cards to control the board. Push your pieces toward home, punish exposed opponents, and turn losing positions into dramatic comebacks. Unkind is easy to understand, but much harder to master. Features: Familiar race-to-home board gameplay with a deeper strategic twist Action cards that add sabotage, counterplay, and momentum swings Fuel-based card system that rewards smart decisions Solo Practice for learning tactics Online multiplayer in Global Arena Private Match for playing with friends Standard Mode for classic competitive play Unkind Mode for permanent captures and higher-stakes matches If you enjoy classic race board games, tactical multiplayer, and unpredictable reversals, Unkind delivers a faster, sharper, and more ruthless take on the genre. Roll well. Time your cards. Ruin their run. Be unkind.
