Let’s get it on the table<\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Unmatched, you take on the role of a legendary hero or heroine. These characters come from movies, books, or even ancient legends. Heroes from different sets can be mixed and matched on any game board of your choice, making every game feel different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each hero has their own deck of action cards with unique abilities that fit their character. Will you be able to defeat your opponent together with your hero?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Unmatched: Battle of Legends, Volume 3, you can step into battle with the following heroes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Blackbeard ;<\/strong>\u00a0uses three doubloons during the game. At the start of the game, place the treasure chest next to your opponent and put one doubloon on it. Keep the other two doubloons in your supply. When you spend a doubloon, place it on the treasure chest. If your opponent pays doubloons or if you steal them, take them from the treasure chest and place them in your supply. Many of Blackbeard\u2019s cards feature an effect written in gold text, followed by a gold icon. This means the effect only occurs if your opponent chooses not to pay the required number of doubloons. The opponent decides whether to pay or not. If they pay, the effect is prevented; otherwise, the effect is resolved. At the start of your turn, you may pay 1 doubloon to gain an additional action. You can only do this once per turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Pandora ;<\/strong>\u00a0carries a mysterious box she cannot resist opening. While it holds great power, it also risks unleashing misery upon the world. Pandora\u2019s Box consists of a separate deck of seven cards, also known as \u201cmisfortunes.\u201d During setup, place this deck next to your main action deck. These cards are never added to your hand. Each Misfortune card shows a number of feather symbols, ranging from 0 to 2. At the start of your turn, reveal the top card of the Pandora deck and resolve its effect. Then you may choose to stop or reveal another card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may continue revealing cards until you decide to stop, or until a total of three or more feather symbols have been revealed. If this happens, you must immediately stop, and Pandora takes damage equal to the number of revealed Misfortune cards (not the number of symbols). After resolving Pandora\u2019s Box, take your turn as normal. At the end of your turn, shuffle all Pandora cards to form a new deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Loki;<\/strong>\u00a0relies on tricks to outsmart his opponents. Each of Loki\u2019s action cards with the word \u201cTrick\u201d in its name has a unique effect, depending on when it is played. All Trick cards can be used by any fighter. When you play a Trick card, it goes to your opponent\u2019s hand during the cleanup phase instead of your discard pile. Your opponent may play these cards as if they were their own. After being played, the cards are placed in your discard pile. Whenever a Trick card is discarded for any reason, you may choose to take it into your hand or place it on top of your draw pile instead of your discard pile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Loki gains +1 movement for each Trick card currently in your opponent\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Chupacabra;<\/strong>\u00a0Whenever you attack, you may draw 1 card. This effect resolves at the end of combat, after all \u201cAfter Combat\u201d effects have been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some heroes are supported by one or more sidekicks, but this is not the case for every hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each hero has their own deck of cards, along with a character card. This card shows the hero\u2019s special ability, as well as the health values for both the hero and their sidekick(s). Health is tracked during the game using health dials for the hero and, if applicable, for a single sidekick. If a hero has multiple sidekicks, each of them has 1 health by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game board Santa\u2019s Workshop has two special effects. One effect is that if a fighter is standing on certain spaces, they are moved along the path at the end of that player\u2019s turn, eventually leading to the \u201cgift trash\u201d area at the end of the track. Additionally, some spaces are connected by orange arrows. Movement between these spaces is one-way only, following the direction of the arrow.<\/p>\n\n\n

The box includes a double-sided game board. Choose the side you want to play on, regardless of which heroes you select. The board consists of circular spaces that fighters (heroes and sidekicks) move across, and each space can only hold one fighter at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spaces are connected by black lines, making them adjacent. This is important when your hero can only attack adjacent enemies, or when resolving certain card effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board is also divided into different zones, separated by colors and patterns. Spaces with the same color or pattern belong to the same zone, even if they are located in different parts of the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a space contains multiple colors, it belongs to multiple zones. Zones are important when determining valid targets for attacks and for resolving certain card effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each player then chooses a hero and receives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
