Description
In battle, there are no equals.
Unmatched: Cobble & Fog features four new heroes for the Unmatched system. Invisible Man uses fog to dart around the board and strike without warning. Sherlock, with the trusty Watson by his side, schemes and calculates to ensure victory. Dracula and the sisters slowly drain you of your power. Jekyll & Hyde uses the former's cunning and the latter's brute strength to win the day.
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.

Quotes (from this video)
- get X launcher boxes out of my world
- Dark Moon is a dice version of the grander Battlestar Galactica game where things are going wrong on this spooky space station and what you need to do is go and do the go to the different places and everyone needs to give resources up in the form of dice to help solve those things however all your dice are behind a secret screen and they have different values on them and you can say oh I've only got negative values I can't help when you're lying you've got great dice you just want everything to fail because you're a traitor
- betrayal of house on the hill there's also a legacy Edition which I really would love to play I've not actually had a chance to even look at that much what's happening is you're all exploring this house getting stuff trying to get equipment all that type of thing doing things that happen tasks happen and things happen to your characters and all of a sudden there's a haunt one of the characters turns out to be a baddie and then you've all got to kind of get out of the house sometimes the haunt can go very strange sometimes the haunt's over in about six seconds and sometimes it's never over you know but for real wonderful Grand in Halloween night in the trailer house in the hill everyone sat round if you liked some candles get all spooky put some music on that's how I would like to spend my Halloween if I had the chance
- I love dead of winter I love it it's horror themed in my book it's a zombie game and I've it's uh there's also a hidden traitor type of aspect to the game possibly one time I ruined a friend's Night by playing that game because I was a secret Trader at the very end and we'd all won and then I turned my card over and turned out only I had won he didn't speak to me for the rest of the night he's never let me forget it actually that's why I love dead of winter

Quotes (from this video)
- If we transform what's happening into a Q&A, maybe we this would be be what's happening.
- Halfway through, if you guys don't entertain me enough, I will pull out a game and start playing. That's That's the threat.

- I'm also going to make this a little bit bigger here so I can see.
- Volume is okay. You guys can see me

- I can't review a prototype. So, no, I don't have the time.

- I'm looking to buy an unmatched game, but I don't have much funds to buy multiples. If I had to invest in just one, which one would you recommend?
- Donkey juice. You can really make a meal out of those two words. That's a big part of it.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- card effects — Many cards have effects tied to specific conditions, such as being in fog, winning combat, or the form of Jekyll/Hyde. Some effects, like those for Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, cannot be cancelled by other cards.
- Character transformation — Jekyll and Hyde can transform between their two forms, affecting their abilities and potentially causing damage to themselves as Mr. Hyde.
- Fog Tokens — Used by the Invisible Man, these tokens can be placed on spaces. They provide a defensive bonus to the Invisible Man, and allow him to move between any two fog tokens as if adjacent. Fog tokens can be moved during the game.
- Secret passages — A new board feature allowing fighters to move between any two secret passage spaces as if adjacent, excluding large characters. These are not considered adjacent for attacks or other effects.
- sidekicks — Dracula has three sisters as sidekicks, and Sherlock Holmes has Dr. Watson, who can perform attacks and has his own health dial.
