Reviews aside, I would like to write how impressed I am with Unmatched.
The box is a work of art. Apart from the art, the layout is superb. Every token, dial and figure is perfectly housed and the cards are given enough room to be sleeved with good quality sleeves (which makes the deck over twice it’s original depth).
Even sleeved in top tier Katana sleeves (predicting a hammering for these cards), the stacks fit.
Every little bit of the game has a space. I had read the dials are sometimes loose. Just push harder is my advice. They all click flush, but take a little force to get there.
The boards are better than expected and I was not expecting much here, but they are nice and solid with more art on them than I thought.
The minis are lovely, well up to current standards in a world full of near perfect miniatures, but I am torn. I have orderred some minions and side kick minis, which were quite expensive, but I am now thinking, with over 24 figures coming, that this is not realistic, and I am impressed with the plastic token (would have been ok with tokens all round, the Hero ones a little bigger.
If I paint the figures in the same style as their matching discs, this would possibly be an acceptable compromise. I would go for a low colour range, quite a graphic look and stylised to make the disc more relevant, not less.
