Playable characters are drawn from mythology and pop-culture, with fighters ranging from Robin Hood to Bigfoot, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sherlock Holmes, and others.

The game was initially available for sale at Gen Con in August 2019, where the entire early run sold out.

Each map is divided up into color-coded zones, which are used to determine whether a ranged attacker has line of sight to an enemy, and also when resolving some card effects.

Another Adventures set featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fighting off Shredder and Krang is currently in development.

Charlie Hall wrote for Polygon that "what makes the game truly stand apart is the quality and cohesiveness of its art and design.

"[1] Matthew Smail of Big Boss Battle described Unmatched as "a superbly made game both in terms of its production and more importantly, it's mechanics.

"[11] IGN's Matt Thrower wrote that "Every set in the Unmatched series is a masterclass in the art of doing a great deal with very little."
