I have two players with the Unicorn clan. During their game, they played the same unique personality. For the game we decided this should not be a problem. Is that correct?
Secondly, they both played Shinjo's Guidance - Kami*Experienced*Unique. For the game, we decided that it wasn't a problem and the card's effect would stack. Is there a problem with this? Will the card's effect stack on both sides so that they have a +2 for all Unicorn Personalities?
Thank you for the help/clarification.

Each player may control one copy of a Unique card with the same title, so this is correct. Each player may, for example, control one (and only one) Shinjo's Guidance XP.
Secondly, they both played Shinjo's Guidance - Kami*Experienced*Unique. For the game, we decided that it wasn't a problem and the card's effect would stack. Is there a problem with this? Will the card's effect stack on both sides so that they have a +2 for all Unicorn Personalities?
Yes, because Shinjo's Guidance XP affects all Unicorn personalities, not just the controller's. The traits from both Celestials will stack, giving +2F to all Unicorn Personalities with attachments.
