Description

In battle, there are no equals.

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: Steel and Silver features three characters and two battlefields from the Witcher series.

So, it's just it's lovely. I love Columbus.
And the tabletop role-playing game I use, because I want to get into tabletop role-playing games more, is called Epitaph.
This is a really dynamite game.
I have plenty of copies of Things in Rings, which I already have used in the classroom, and many people were introduced to.
It takes this and it just makes it more research-based, and it really does essentially shift the focus to an educational setting.
So, I left with over 20 games, and I had to essentially check my bag.
Um and I think this is a dynamite game.
Um, we love Panda Royale. We have shared that with people.
I love the pity die. That's like the best feature of this game.
So, I'm probably going to have like a little double uh double header with these two uh review coming up soon.

So, I'm excited to get this in my in my classroom and uh hopefully with a little bit more uh of a video with that one soon.
So, it is always action. You are always playing, you're always thinking and um it's just really cool.

This is like classic train game stuff, man.
Artwork looks amazing, honestly.
Oh my goodness. Okay, here we go.
My number one game that I demoed at the media event for Asmodee is called The Happiest Cat in the World.
It's like a deck builder but with tiles, but then you're spending them.
Now the cool thing about this one is you're in two different factions.
I am into all the duels. I want to try all the duels for every game that they have out there, or duets, or whatever, or duos. I want to play them.
I had a fantastic time. I had a delicious time.
I love the mood. I love the energy. I love the games. I love the people. I love gamers. I love gamers so much.
