Japan has a long history, rich with brilliant strategists and fierce warriors.We are thrilled to bring two of their larger-than-life heroes to the world of Unmatched. Unmatched is the critically acclaimed, best-selling game of tactical combat between unlikely opponents.
Oda Nobunaga was a 16th-century daimyo credited with unifying Japan. In battle, he commands his honor guard, a pair of unique sidekicks, each with their own health dial – a first in the Unmatched system. Tomoe Gozen was the unlikely and unstoppable female warrior, whose deeds found their way into the epic Tale of the Heike. She pursues enemy with singular purpose, punishing them when they flee. The battle unfolds in the storied Azuchi Castle, featuring one of the most intriguing layouts ever released in a two-player map.
As with every Unmatched set, these heroes can face off against fighters from other sets – even the villains in Unmatched Adventures – making it a must-have for experienced players or a great entry point for new ones. And it’s all brought to life by the stunning artwork of Yuta Onoda. (Cultural consultation provided by Saigo.)
Unmatched is the critically acclaimed, best-selling game of tactical combat between unlikely opponents. Sun’s Origin highlights two legendary fighters from Japan. Battle Oda Nobunaga, credited with unifying Japan, against Tomoe Gozen, the unlikely and fierce warrior, or mix-and-match these heroes with any other Unmatched fighters.

Kabuto Sumo is a physical, interactive puzzle of a game where your goal is to push your opponent out of the ring.
Take on the role of a beetle with a bad attitude and something to prove. Battle for supremacy in the ring and your place in the pantheon of legendary wrestlers.
Be careful! The way the discs move can result in some very unexpected physics. If you've ever played one of those coin pushersat the arcade, you know what we're talking about.
You might not realize that you’ve left yourself vulnerable to an opponent’s attack. You’ll need a little dexterity and a lot of strategy to win!
Kabuto Sumo is a game that usually rewards a high-risk, high-reward style of play.
You'll have plenty of opportunities to carefully place discs in strategic spots. But, if you think there's a good chance to snag a lot of pieces or knock an opponent out, you should go for it!
Each wrestler is based on a real life insect and their physiological defense mechanisms.
They all have special signature moves and unique piece shapes that introduce wild, unexpected turns. Make sure to use their strengths (and avoid their weaknesses) wisely!
How To Play
1. Select your wrestler
Choose your favorite character - and don't forget to pay attention to their signature moves!
2. Slide your discs
Slide pieces straight into the ring from any position and keep what falls off
3. Perform Signature Moves
Every wrestler has special moves that will give you a special advantage.
Win by knocking our opponent out of the ring or by hogging all the pieces.

Oros is a tile-colliding, volcano erupting, mountain-making, wisdom-gathering, action-economy strategy game.
On individual player mats, players move their Followers between action spaces, allowing them to manipulate a shared environment like a giant puzzle of plate tectonics.
Action spaces allow players to shift rows of land, move and collide land tiles, form and erupt volcanoes, worship to gain wisdom, journey their Followers around the ever-shifting landscape, and build sacred places of study and worship on mountains.
Building sacred places and worshipping in sacred places brings wisdom which is used to improve the abilities available for each action space. Wisdom is also used to improve the end game value of each sacred place built as well as reach other goals worth end game points.
When building sacred places, the Demigods of the Wise One ascend a ziggurat which acts as a timer toward the end of the game. When one reaches the top, players finish the round and then tally a final score.
At the core of Oros is the unique ability to shift, move, build up, erupt, and reposition the land within an infinitely connected play environment. This mechanic turns every action into a puzzle of creative problem solving, abstract thinking, and a constantly evolving strategy. Another chief aspect of the game is the player mat which uses a minimal worker placement mechanic to govern action opportunity. The mat also maintains an action economy that evolves differently for each player as they invest their gained wisdom into a variety of action improvements. Because of these core aspects, there are dozens of strategies for players to explore, and every game plays out in a different, yet competitive way.

Comet is a competitive engine builder without combat with a unique resource concept. In the distant past, you try to save various animal species from an impending comet impact. Choose wisely, because the rescued animals will support your further rescue maneuvers in various ways.
Change the past!
Comet offers you the unique opportunity to travel millions of years into the past! Skillfully combine card abilities to save animals from the ominous comet with the help of your saviors. Animals you’ve already rescued will join you and use their abilities to help you on your next rescue missions.
You want smooth gameplay without sacrificing variety or strategic depth? You want exciting interaction on the game board but without combat? Then Comet is the right game for you! Comet is quickly explained and played. Nevertheless, even frequent players will navigate through the combinations of card mechanics differently in each game to get the most rescue points.
Asymmetric hero cards
Different types of cards deepen the strategic decisions. Skillfully use your hero card’s ability and combine it with the abilities of the animals you save during the game.
On a hero card you will find a special ability that can determine the focus of your actions during the game. For example, some heroes give you particularly efficient movement actions, while others give you access to better hand cards.
You’ll also find an individual way to generate rescue points on your hero card. Some heroes give you rescue points for rescued cards of a certain type (silver cards, for example), for the specified color of the eggs of your rescued animals, or for a specific area on the animal cards.
Interesting savior movement on the board
Think carefully where you place your saviors because your opponents can jump over your tokens to get to the safe cavern faster! It would be much better if you could take advantage of the other players’ saviors instead, right?
To move, you use the two areas shown on your played animal card. You can extend your movement range with wild symbols. But always remember that you must discard the used cards after the movement action!
Some utility cards, animal abilities, and hero abilities can additionally affect your movement efficiency. Some abilities even allow you to place the giant tortoise and mammoth tokens on the board to skip the areas occupied by these tokens during your movement action. However, other players may also skip these neutral tokens! So think carefully about where you place them.
Fast and strategic
In Comet, you can expect quick turns and a high level of interaction on the game board. The basic mechanics and rules of the game are quickly learned. With Comet, frequent players get an entertaining game that offers depth. But beginners can handle Comet intuitively as well and enjoy an entertaining game experience.
Each game presents a new challenge, as you must skillfully adapt to your opponent’s actions in order to win.
When the last silver card is drawn, the comet phase is initiated.
Only the player who drew the last card and thus initiated the comet phase is allowed to rest completely, i.e., to refill their hand up to their card limit and to ready all exhausted animals.
All others may either refill their hand up to the card limit or ready their animals one last time. From now on, the “Rest” action can no longer be performed and you try to save a few more animals before you run out of options!

A crime was just committed! The victim is unable to speak — but they can draw, and in doing so they will ideally help the inspectors guess who in the vast crowd is the criminal! This shifty character will do anything and everything to cover their tracks, though, so will you be able to stop them before the last message?
In the Last Message Board Game, the victim of the crime gives clues over four rounds to help the detectives determine the identity of the criminal. To give clues in a round, the victim has 30 seconds in which to draw and write in a 3×3 grid — but before handing over these clues, the criminal can erase part of these drawings.
If the criminal is not identified by the end of the fourth round, they win the game; otherwise, the detectives and the victim win.

UH OH! Here comes that customer who likes to give confusing orders. Work together to memorize their order. It's ok if you don't remember the order cards that were given to you. But what tends to happen is that only the orders you remember come back to your hand. For whatever reason people keep saying the wrong order! It's not a lot to remember, but if you can't do it very well…no worries! Hopefully someone else will remember it for you! Well, is everyone ready to give a shot!?
"Order Overload: Cafe" is a co-op, memory game that has you remebering menu orders. Even if you don't have the confidence in your memorizing skills, forgetting………is fun!? The rules are simple, it's cooperative and playable with 2 to 6 players, so children and adults alike can enjoy playing together. Also, recommended for those new to board games.
Cards with orders such as "Hot Coffee" and "Iced Latte" are read aloud, and each player memorizes these Order Cards. Once the cards have been dealt to everyone, keep in mind the orders that were just read. Then, take a guess at the Order Cards in the other players' hands. Correctly guessed orders are revealed, but if the other playres didn't have the order you guessed, you're eliminated. If you achieve the set number of cards you need to reveal before everyone is elminated, level clear! As you go up in levels, the number of Order Cards increases and the difficulty level goes up.
What's the highest level you can clear?

Draft dice and use the tools-of-the-trade in Sagrada to carefully construct your stained glass window masterpiece.
In more detail, each player builds a stained glass window by building up a grid of dice on their player board. Each board has some restrictions on which color or shade (value) of die can be placed there. Dice of the same shade or color may never be placed next to each other. Dice are drafted in player order, with the start player rotating each round, snaking back around after the last player drafts two dice. Scoring is variable per game based on achieving various patterns and varieties of placement...as well as bonus points for dark shades of a particular hidden goal color.
Special tools can be used to help you break the rules by spending skill tokens; once a tool is used, it then requires more skill tokens for the next player to use them.
The highest scoring window artisan wins!

Many Hallow's moons had passed since the crescent Moon and Sun appeared on your palm, when the Septima had summoned you to attend the Witches' Sabbath. You thought back to the ensuing journey to Noctenburg, gathering other witches who also bore the mark.

Sleeping Gods: Dungeons adds six dungeons to Sleeping Gods. Each dungeon includes a map and stories. In a dungeon, gameplay will be slightly altered from the regular game.
Each map is printed on thick card stock (Letter-sized, 8.5×11 inches). A separate dungeon booklet contains all of the descriptions, encounters, and puzzles that you'll experience as you explore.
You can access these dungeons at specific locations in the atlas of the Sleeping Gods base game. When you reach a location that contains a dungeon, you can choose to read from the standard storybook, or instead explore the dungeon that is located there. The specified location number is listed in the top left corner of the dungeon map.
Each dungeon holds dangerous traps, vicious monsters, and treasure that you can find. Because dungeons take longer to explore than a standard location, there are a few small changes to game play when you enter one. While in the dungeon, players take turns taking two actions each, which include moving to new rooms, examining your surroundings, and more.

The Grizzled is a cooperative game about survival in the trenches during the first World War where players win or lose together.
Each round, the current team leader will choose how many cards every player draws. Then, going around the table, players must either play a card in their hand or back out of the mission. Each card represents either threats to the team (such as mortar shells and weather conditions) or negative personality traits (such as frightened or obsessive). At the end of the round, more cards are added to the draw deck. The game ends only if the players can deplete the draw deck as well as their hands without letting time run out.
If one threat shows up too many times, the team fails the mission. The team must play their threats correctly in order to gain any progress. However, most of the information in a players hand remains secret throughout the game.
Planning, teamwork, and a little luck are the tools you'll need to win this cooperative game for two to five players.
