Slings and Arrows

Unmatched: Slings and Arrows 

In Unmatched: Slings and Arrows, the Globe Theater transforms into a battleground where William Shakespeare himself joins the fray, alongside three of his iconic creations: The Wayward Sisters, Hamlet, and Titania. Shakespeare’s deck, crafted by Jonathan Guberman and victorious in a 2020 design contest, rewards players who complete lines of iambic pentameter, infusing each move with poetic power. Meanwhile, the Wayward Sisters—runner-up in the same competition and designed by Jason Hager—test your cunning, as you weave the witches’ dark potion plots through masterful coordination.

The stage is set. Will you rise to the occasion, or be written out of the legend?

In battle, there are no equals.

Unmatched is not just a game; it’s an intense, asymmetrical showdown where heroes collide in epic duels of strategy and skill. Each player commands a unique hero, brought to life through carefully crafted decks that reflect their distinctive style and legendary lore. Tactical movement and combat that relies solely on your decisions—not luck—means every match feels fresh, demanding expertise and foresight. But just as you begin to master one hero, new challengers arrive, offering thrilling new match-ups and possibilities.

Combat is swift and decisive: compare attack and defense cards to resolve clashes. Yet, beneath that simplicity lies a web of clever card effects and a timing system that turns every decision into a high-stakes moment. The game also boasts a refined line-of-sight system, inspired by Tannhäuser, to add depth to ranged attacks and area effects.
