Can you reunite the rainbow-winged Pegasus with its partner and remember where a pair of ornate Qilin are hiding? The Match the Unicorns cards feature naturalist illustrations of unicorn and mythical creature species from different regions of the world, from the European Unicorn to the African Abada, and the tropical Alicorn-of-Paradise to the polar Frost Unicorn.

The booklet serves as a field guide to the mythical creature species on the cards. Learn how the blue-tinged Mericorn has the upper body of a horse and lower half of a fish, and how the Storm Unicorn uses its horn as a lightning conductor.

To play the game, arrange the cards face down on a table, then flip two over – do they show the same species? If they do, you collect the pair. If not, try to remember where the different unicorn and magical creature species are located so you can make a match on your next turn.

The Folklore Field Guides series is a charming collection of beautifully illustrated handbooks on topics of lore and legend. Fascinating facts are accompanied by breathtaking illustrations, all presented in an engaging narrative form.

Also available from the series: A Natural History of Fairies, A Natural History of Magical Beasts, A Natural History of Mermaids and A Natural History of Dragons.
