Incredible set. Not very competitively viable, but so much fun! The theme is very strong!

Unmatched: Slings and Arrows
Unmatched is a highly asymmetrical miniature fighting game for two or four players. Each hero is represented by a unique deck designed to evoke their style and legend. Tactical movement and no-luck combat resolution create a unique play experience that rewards expertise, but just when you've mastered one set, new heroes arrive to provide all new match-ups.
Combat is resolved quickly by comparing attack and defense cards. However, each card's unique effects and a simple but deep timing system lead to interesting decisions each time. The game also features an updated version of the line-of-sight system from Tannhäuser for ranged attacks and area effects.
All the world's a stage in Unmatched: Slings and Arrows, while the Globe Theater is a battlefield. William Shakespeare steps up to the fight along with three of his wondrous characters: The Wayward Sisters, Hamlet, and Titania. Shakespeare's deck, designed by Jonathan Guberman, was one of the winning decks in a 2020 design competition, and it rewards players for completing lines in iambic pentameter. The Wayward Sisters, a runner-up in that competition from Jason Hager, is a multi-hero deck that challenges you to bring the witches' potion machinations to life with cunning co-ordination.

Favorito total de los ya 10 sets que tengo. No son los personajes más competitivos pero sí con más alma, temáticos y roleables. El arte es inmejorable, incluso para los ya muy altos estándares que maneja el sistema unmatched.
Greatest gamer box This box may seem very weak at first, but after a few games, it becomes clear how complex and strong the characters actually are. For example, Shakespeare just stirs around and survives for several turns, while collecting three 'Horror' and 2-3 'My Kingdom for a Horse' cards, which can practically close out a battle. That's how I defeated an advanced Sun Wu Kong player. Hamlet's 'To be or not to be' dance can also be quite annoying for the opponent, especially when certain card abilities amplify this. Titania is very easy to play, while the sisters are also a huge challenge.
Hamlet - 1 play Shakespeare - 1 play Titania - 1 play Wayward Sisters - 2 plays
Excellent components. A quick to play card driven skirmish game. Love the theme and special abilities work well. Who would have thought battling with an iambic pentameter could be such fun and devastating to opponent.
