Unmatched: Cobble & Fog is a standalone game in the Unmatched series that transports players into the dark world of Victorian literature. It brings together some of the most famous literary characters of all time: Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, The Invisible Man, and Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. Each hero is designed to reflect their story, personality, and unique abilities, creating the feeling that classic novels and gothic horror tales have come together in a spectacular tactical showdown.
The game's mechanics are built around asymmetric combat, with each character having their own unique deck of cards and a completely different playstyle. Sherlock Holmes, assisted by Watson, focuses on planning, prediction, and controlling the flow of the game. Dracula gradually drains his opponents' strength while making use of his vampire brides. The Invisible Man uses fog to move stealthily across the board and launch surprise attacks from unexpected positions. Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde combine the cunning intellect of one personality with the brute force of the other, requiring players to carefully balance both aspects of the character. Players move their figures around the battlefield, seek advantageous positions, and resolve combat through attack and defense cards. Because the game does not use dice, decision-making, tactics, positioning, and timing play a much greater role than luck.
The game is especially appealing to fans of classic literature, gothic stories, and tactical duels. One of the set's greatest strengths is the remarkable variety of its characters, as each hero offers a completely different gameplay experience.
Unmatched: Cobble & Fog delivers an exceptionally atmospheric clash of literary icons, where cunning, dark mysteries, and tactical skill combine to create unforgettable battles. 🕵️♂️🦇
Cobble & Fog is widely regarded as one of the most popular sets in the Unmatched series and was nominated for multiple awards, including winning the Board Game Quest Award for Best Game Expansion of 2020.
