Unmatched: Slings and Arrows

Unmatched: Slings and Arrows brings William Shakespeare himself to the battlefield alongside three of his most iconic creations — Titania the Fairy Queen, Hamlet, and the Wayward Sisters. Set on The Globe as a battlefield, it's one of the most thematically inventive sets in the Unmatched range.

Each fighter has a mechanic rooted in their character: Shakespeare writes in Iambic Pentameter to power his attacks, the Wayward Sisters cast spells to hex and harry opponents, and Hamlet wrestles with his famous indecision — “To Be or Not To Be” — as a core gameplay mechanic. On your turn, take two actions — manoeuvre, attack, or play scheme cards — and reduce your opponent's health to zero to win.

What's good?

• Four wildly creative fighters — each mechanic is rooted in their Shakespearean identity
• Hamlet's “To Be or Not To Be” mechanic is unlike anything else in the Unmatched range
• Scales from 2 to 4 players — works as a duel or a free-for-all
• Fully compatible with all other Unmatched sets — mix and match heroes freely
