Description
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.
Unmatched: Hell's Kitchen features three characters from the Marvel comics universe: Daredevil, Elektra, and Bullseye.

- combat resolution with simultaneous reveal — Attack/defense cards are revealed together; boost values adjust outcomes.
- grid-based positioning — Spatial planning on a board with spaces and adjacencies influences combat.
- Hand Management — Draw up to seven cards, with end-of-turn discard shaping future options.
- object-based interactions — Objects on spaces (e.g., electrified floor, camera, chair) modify stats and strategy.
- persona-driven dynamics (Moon Knight mechanics) — Moon Knight mechanics introduce multiple personas with different abilities across turns.
- Simultaneous Reveal — Attack/defense cards are revealed together; boost values adjust outcomes.
