I have most if the Unmatched sets (and this one ordered), but it feels like there's some power-creep going here - especially in these Marvel sets. I can't imagine some early characters like Sinbad or Ingen having any chance against She-Hulk or Dr. Strange. All these new powers and abilities are cool, but i worry it literally puts them in a class by thenselves. 20 health and the abilitry to move 4 AND do 9 damage (potentially)? Wow.

I'm a simple man; you put Spider-Man in a game and I'm buying

It seems clear that there's no such thing as an "active starting space" to me. They are are starting spaces if they have a number right?

[robthomas]

Have you tried these against characters from sets like Cobble and Fog? Interested to know if they are balanced across the wider range or if they are just balanced against other Marvel sets.

Hi guys, I checked with ZeroSkatr12, the main content producer and best player, he states that starting spaces are any space with a numbered diamond. Pure and simple, even if said space was empty to start the game

Time for a new unmatched vs funkoverse review.

Happy to see the the good reviews, but are they going to give us more villains?

[dennischaves]

My issue with the Marvel Unmatched isn't with the gameplay or mechanisms but with the Character Selection. All cool choices but there are barely if any Villains. Still really cool and sucks that this is the final one with all the characters they can choose from but still a solid set.

First? Was looking forward to this one! Can't wait for it to hit the shelves at my local game store. Also love your other reviews, you guys are my go-to game review channel. Keep being awesome!

That's some great art! Dr. Strange seems really fun

[joaquincaceresguibovich]

i'd love to see a character that's full agressive; high damage and mobility but you have cero defense cards

[moltenbullet]

That spidey mini really makes me cringe every time i put this game in my cart. But DAMN their art is, as always, on point.

I came across a Brains & Brawn TT RPG, free download once - it's pretty good (hadn't heard of this board game, though).

[thesolitairegambit]

Kinda disappointed at the Spider Man miniature pose.
Not that I’m hating but not sure why She-Hulk is in this set. Captain America would’ve been a better choice IMO.

Great review 🫶

Is She-Hulk the new Medusa? Is She-Hulk overpowered?
