In battle, there are no equals.
Unmatched: Buffy the Vampire Slayer features four heroes. Buffy will hit you with Mr. Pointy or summon her Slayer’s strength for a cartwheel kick. When it’s time for backup, she’ll take her pick between insightful Giles or reliable Xander. Spike, a relentless hunter, seeks the shadows and calls on Drusilla’s Sight to let him know just where and when to strike. Willow, a peerless witch, dabbles in black magic and risks her darker self, potent but dangerous. At times, only Tara can bring her back from the brink of the abyss. Angel, once the Scourge of Europe, is cursed with a soul, conflicted by his victories and taking solace in his losses. Faith is there to make sure things stay "Five by Five".
Unmatched is a highly asymmetrical miniature fighting game for two or four players. Each hero is represented by a unique deck designed to evoke their style and legend. Tactical movement and no-luck combat resolution create a unique play experience that rewards expertise, but just when you’ve mastered one set, new heroes arrive to provide all new match-ups.

I’m not normally a big fan of skirmish games, but the Unmatched System is one of the better engines I’ve seen. I dislike that there are multiple copies of lower number cards spread throughout all decks, which limits how different each of the fighters are, but that’s my only real issue with the system. This is also one of the better Buffy-themed games out there, and the fact that they are going to add in characters from different universes could be really neat. Ranged characters seem strictly better than melee ones, but time will tell on that. I also wish the maps were just a tad less enclosed. Aside from all that, this is an enjoyable system, and I love the color-coded targeting mechanism borrowed by Tannhauser. It almost makes me want to seek that game out to see if it’s any better that this.

A great addition to Unmatched! Love Buffy, so seeing how each of the characters shine is amazing! I’m still geeking out!

I love the vibrant colors of this set. As always the art is wonderful, but this time the palette really pops too. The characters are well balanced against each other. Unfortunately they really struggle against the rest of the sets. Except for Buffy, their abilities are just not helpful.
