Is Unmatched the new Epic Duels?
Unmatched by Rob Daviau and Restoration Games was one of the most talked about games at Gen Con 2019, and you might say I have a special interest in the game. You know I’ll cover it here. I’ve already been asked, “Ok, so is it better than Epic Duels?” and more than once. Unmatched is …
