Join the epic battle and choose from a wide range of unique characters! Unmatched: Digital Edition is an adaptation of the critically acclaimed board game, where two (or more) opponents command characters from myth, history, or fiction in a battle for the ages! Have you ever wondered who would win, King Arthur (aided by Merlin) or a sword-wielding Alice of Wonderland? How would Sinbad and his trusty porter fare against Medusa and the three harpies? The only way to find the truth is in battle with a quick game of Unmatched! In Battle The Are No Equals! What is Unmatched? Unmatched: Digital Edition is a tactical game where each player commands their hero and sidekick(s), using a unique deck of cards, to defeat their opponent on the field of battle. The rules are simple. On your turn, take two actions which can be: - Maneuver: Move your fighters and draw a card! - Attack: Play an attack card! - Scheme: Play a scheme card (cards that have a special effect). Get your opponent's hero to zero health, and you win the game. What makes the game special is that each hero has a unique deck and ability. Alice grows big and gets small. King Arthur can discard a card to power up his attack. Sinbad gets stronger as he goes on more voyages. Medusa can damage you with just a glance. What makes Unmatched great? Unmatched is one of those easy-to-learn games with an incredible amount of depth. The tactical insight and knowledge of your hero and your opponents will determine the outcome of the fight. Games are quick – but play out very differently! Your decisions will determine your fate, and your skill (and just a bit of luck) will win the day. What can you expect? * Epic duels between the most unlikely opponents! * Huge tactical depth! * Stunning artwork by legendary artists! *Three levels of AI for solo play! * Near infinite replayability! * Easy to learn, hard to master! * In-game tutorial and rulebook! * Online multiplayer! * Synchronous and asynchronous game modes! * Official Unmatched rules consulted with the designers of the board game! * Multiple expansions to come - bringing new heroes and maps! * Unique experience of a board game with the convenience of a digital platform! The basic game contains: - Alice - King Arthur - Medusa - Sinbad - Marmoreal Map - Sarphedon Map The original board game was awarded the following honors: - 2019 Board Game Quest Awards Best Two Player Game Nominee - 2019 Board Game Quest Awards Best Tactical/Combat Game Nominee The application was recognized by the BoardGameGeek community: - Best Board Game App Winner of the 18th Annual Golden Geek Awards for 2023

Hang in tutorial

I’ve currently arbitrarily given this a 3. The tutorial hung when it asked me to “Tap the EXCALIBUR card.” I’ve tried to report this directly to ACRAM but the message form continues to fail. So both the support web site and the game have issues. Hopefully both will soon be rectified or maybe someone can tell me if I’m doing something wrong in the tutorial. Updated to a 4 (really a 3.5) mainly due to quick response by the developer. The game seems to play well (I don’t know the board game). The interface is pretty clunky and at times the images can obscure the board. The size of the fighter’s bases can be so large as to make seeing the underlying space difficult. Additionally the online interface has issues. I play mostly async. It’s cumbersome to re-establish your game. Additionally if you don’t exit the online section before ending your session, when you come back you will either be plunked back into the starting menu, or if you are still in the online section if you try to go to lobby, it will crash. None of these are terrible but should have been identified via beta testing. I assume live online play is cleaner.

I have a lot of board games. Unmatched is my favorite of them all. I play it with anyone willing, I watch videos, I look for all the clues and spoilers as to what’s coming in the next sets…I love the game. This app though, seriously disappointing so far. On launch I immediately bought it and the season pass. Since then it’s just sadly been one disappointment after another. Each new character that comes out is basically unplayable at launch and patch after patch still can’t seem to fix a multitude of things. The vast majority of my games end in the game crashing or freezing or the AI on “hard” doing a variety of nonsensical things that make it not fun. And I would play with my friends instead of the AI, in fact I got it to do so and encouraged all my friends to get it. I’m sorry I did. I’ve barely completed any games, they are disappointed with me at the waste of money, and unless they have an IPhone, I can’t find even find them to play. It’s supposed to be cross compatible but it doesn’t work. The app looks beautiful which is why I give it two stars, and I so badly want it to be good, but after waiting and waiting through delay after delay for it to launch, then waiting and waiting as bug after bug is fixed… I think I may be giving up on it. Maybe I’ll come back in a few years and see if it’s better. Sad day for this massive unmatched fan.

I love playing the board games with my family. It has been an amazing chance for me to spend time with them. We all decided to get this digital version, so we could practice in our free time. While the digital version is a lot of fun, I found many bugs/issues with the game as I play. The biggest issue happens when the AI Dracula is playing. It will unpredictably stop the game and send to a loading screen. From there, it reopens the match but it won’t allow me to play the game. It gets stuck on the loading map and the AI won’t finish its processing/decision making. This happens with other characters but it stands out most with Dracula because it happens almost every game. The game will only function properly if Dracula is not played at all. Other than the bugs, this game is great.

Hood fan.
I have played this game quite a few times. Started off strong but recently it seems that there are some issues. I usually use Robin Hood and during some battles he has taken multiple hits while using a scheme card. Also several times my opponent has been able to skip my turn and cause massive damage without being able to defend. Still lots of fun, but I have a horrible win lose record. Lol.
