Boardgame Review: Unfair, a take that theme park building game (Plus Unfair vs Funfair comparison)
Channel: Tabletop Bellhop
Date: 2021-08-15

Unfair is a card-driven, tableau-building board game all about building a theme park. Which sounds like it should be a wonderful happy experience, but this is Unfair, not Funfair, and it can get nasty. This game features a number of optional take-that elements as well as terrible events that come into play during the second half of the game that can wreak havoc on your long-term plans.

Unfair was designed by Joel Finch who also did the graphic design. It features development by Kim Brebach and Kate Finch and artwork from Nicole Castles, Lina Cossette, David Forest, and Philippe Poirier. This game was originally funded on Kickstarter and published in 2017 by Good Games Publishing and CMON. Unfair has an MSRP of $49.99.
