About the game

Unmatched: For King and Country brings three Marvel heroes, Black Widow, Black Panther, and Winter Soldier, into the acclaimed Unmatched fighting system. Each hero plays with a completely unique deck and figure, creating wildly asymmetrical duels with no dice and no luck in combat. Tactical movement across a map and clever card play decide every fight. It's a fast, endlessly replayable head-to-head battler that fits easily into any Unmatched collection.

Hobbli's Notes

Unmatched keeps hitting home runs with its asymmetric hero design, and this Marvel-themed set is no exception: Black Panther's mobility versus Winter Soldier's brute force makes for genuinely different tactical puzzles each match. Quick to set up and play, it's one of our go-to picks for a fast, competitive two-player showdown.

What we like

  • No dice means combat is pure skill and tactics.
  • Each hero plays completely differently for high replay value.
  • Fast 40-minute games are easy to fit in.
  • Combines easily with other Unmatched sets for more matchups.

Keep in mind

  • Requires learning each character's unique deck to play well.
  • Best experienced with prior Unmatched knowledge for full variety.

Who it's for

Perfect for two (or four in teams) competitive players age 14+ who enjoy tactical, no-luck combat and quick 40-minute duels.
