Read the full game description
Unmatched: Stars and Stripes adds four sharply asymmetric fighters to the expandable dueling system: George Washington and the Culper Ring, Rosie the Riveter in a powered suit, John Henry with his mighty hammer, and Wyatt Earp alongside Doc Holliday. On each turn, players take two actions to maneuver, scheme, or attack, using a unique deck that expresses each hero’s strengths and limitations. Positioning, line of sight, hand management, and knowing when to commit a valuable defense card shape every clash. Two double-sided battlefields support head-to-head contests and larger team fights, while all four fighters can mix with other Unmatched sets.
