Hey Zee! I know that you all guys are busy people. But I would love to see a new list like this someday soon. This one is 2y old now and a lot of characters have came out since!
Great video! It’s interesting seeing so many different opinions. My list of favourite decks to play (not who’s the most powerful) goes: 1. King Arthur 2. Dracula 3. Robin Hood 4. Bruce Lee 5. Raptors 6. Sinbad 7. Invisible man 8. Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde 9. InGen 10. Alice (I actually really enjoy playing against her) 11. Sherlock Holmes 12. Medusa 13. Bigfoot
Oh, now your list got me interested! Never before have I seen King Arthur being someone's number one. I'm glad there are folks out there giving him justice. Happy gaming!
I hope this video gets updated. Heck I would love a yearly update with unmatched. I just love ranking style videos and I love unmatched so I would eat videos like this up
Yep and if licensing is an issue, some caricature of famous martial arts characters, perhaps texas ranger and drunken master as options. I'd also love to see some additional IPs, Star Wars is obvious, Star Trek, Matrix, Warhammer, Disney Princesses, it's all up for grabs.
I finally got the game, even though my friends can't read English. I've already translated two out of four decks (Holmes and Jekyll), which was a nightmare but the game was fun. I don't know when I'll do the rest of them.
Zee - I like the way you presented this list. Not the characters you win with the most, but the ones you enjoy playing the most. I game that way myself (most times) and my take away is always positive. Game to have fun and if I win its a bonus. Game to only win and if I dont, then I spend hours wishing I had played a card a different way. Thats not say I dwell on a game I lose though.
This is one of the games where the theme of the character will make you enjoy the gameplay more. My favorite is Alice. Love having to time my size changes. When i'm caught off-guard at the wrong size, i can usually see i made a mistake. She's more unforgiving than other characters and i like her for that.
Shes relatively straight forward to play though. I think Sinbad is the most unforgiving in the original set. He is one character that if played wrong, will lose miserably every time.
Fun topic! I own all the sets and have played most of the beta characters Bigfoot is just nasty with huge health, 6 unblockable scheme damage, 5 feints, three 6 value cards and the ability to draw after his turn. My favorite to play is Alice. I love the art, the mechanics, she is not too good but just good enough to always have a chance to win or lose
Interesting! We only have 3 characters: Robin Hood, Bigfoot, and Bruce Lee. We have played this game a bunch, and Bruce Lee has never won. No matter who is controlling him, and no matter who he is playing against, he always gets his butt kicked. I see other people online saying that Bruce Lee is powerful too, but it hasn't been the case for us. He is still fun to play with though, and trying to chain together a bunch of actions is a good time.
I think that those are probably 2 particularly tough matchups for him. Big Foot is so mobile, and the Jackalope could run interference (I'd probably focus on taking him out first if I was Bruce) and Robin Hood can plink away from range and also stay mobile. In fact, Bruce's Lee's power to move at the end of his turn probably wouldn't have much benefit against Robin Hood. The matchups in Unmatched have a lot to do with a character's success.
Bruce is actually quite powerful, and he's one of the better characters made thus far. His "Achilles heel" however, are "feint" cards, and any other cards that cancel text. Bruce really shines with this Combos, and feint cards and others that cancel card text shut those down immediately. Interesting that you mention Bigfoot being matched against him, because Bigfoot happens to have the most feint cards of any character printed thus far. One of the few characters I usually lose to whenever I play Bruce. Wait until about mid-game when many players have used their feint cards (if you're playing in a multiplayer game) and then strike. If you're playing one-on-one, not much you can do about it except try to time it out in a similar fashion
Bigfoot v Robin Hood is my favorite set. Being able to cancel defense... getting those extra cards into your hand and trying to find the heavy hitting card for Robin Hood is a delight. Bigfoot is just great. Bruce Lee and Sinbad with the slow build and combos are also amazing.
I've only played with 3 characters (Bruce, King Arthur, and Bigfoot) and while the only game I won was with Bigfoot he was my least favorite of the three. Bruce was amazing, and I only lost by 1 hit point. Arthur was so hard but I can see why the designers of the game think he is one of the most powerful characters. I think he is underrated here on this list. Even though I lost with him it was close and very fun. I look forward to playing all the other characters. I'll have to try Dracula out next. Great video Zee.
You should try more characters,Arthur must be the worst one to play with. Although he is my favorite 😅 And I’m curious about where did you know that designers think Arthur was powerful.
This game is so underrated! Thematic mechanisms, the awesome artwork, the replayability ... Even the boxes themselves are designed so detailed that's it's easy going to pick the stuff and place them back. I also love playing it solo :) For me it shows that the gaming community, in comparison to other top tier games, is more about hype when it comes to fancy kickstarters and ranking, no front. In the end it's subjective but never ever does the boardgamegeek-ranking do the justice to this game it deserves
Awesome video Zee, I’ve been looking into picking this up. I have some of the Funko verse game and would be interested in see a ranking of those characters sometime also.
I agree with Zee on number one and two. Dr. Jekyll & Hyde would be higher with more time to master them. As he said, it is all about timing with your cards, and when you learn how to do it, it is a lot of fun!
I have yet to enjoy a game I've played as Dracula. I always feel like there's nothing good in my hand. Personally, my favorite is Muldoon and Big Foot. Holmes is pretty fun too.
I can't seem to find much evidence this game is for sale in the UK outside a couple of small expansions, I'm hoping to get one of the big boxes in the next month or so, what I love about reading these comments though is that there does not seem to be a consensus on best or worst characters, for me this indicates that preference is likely based on the theme and playstyle rather than power level. This is great news, sounds like there is something for everyone.
Agreed. I think though I've played him very patiently and defensively. Once you use those outlaws as a shield, position your self on a good space, put distance between you and your opponent and time your strong attacks just right: Robin hood is deadly. He isn't flashy but he is very very functional and a good antidote to a very aggressive fighter.
Cool list. This is more "Zee's favorites" not a "Tier list". That's fine, I always enjoy the content. Bigfoot, Holmes, Medusa, Invis Man are my top tier characters after many plays.
I'm surprised to hear that about Invisible Man. Maybe I'm just playing him wrong. His character feels so underwhelming to me. He also has a pretty low win-rate, from what I've seen. Does he just require more skill than the other characters?
Now that Little Red Riding Hood Versus BeoWolf and Buffy sets have come out how do they fair in this list? Has Dracula been dethroned? Red Riding with her basket and Beowolf with his rage power look really interesting.
I rank these characters 2 ways: How thematic or fun they are, and how balanced. For example: I think Bigfoot is top 5 in how fun and thematic to play, but I'd rank his balance in the bottom 3 for being a little too OP. I would be interested to see what everyone else thinks are the most imbalanced characters? Lack of balance is my number issue with this game. I'd be more excited to play this game if I didn't feel like I was getting gypped by playing a few characters and cheating with others.
I’ve heard that there’s unmatched contest among the people. Medusa ,Bruce Lee, Bigfoot and Sherlock were the most used in competition and kings Arthur never appeared.if Arthur’s Boost can be used with card’s effect and plus the number of upper left corner. Isn’t it a good buff for him to play against other heroes.
Medusa is unfun to play against. She has 3 movement, same as Bruce Lee and Bigfoot, is ranged, and has an ability that will keep you constantly moving. She has 3 harpies that let her corner you, and she has 3x 4 defense cards that make you discard cards from your hand. She's just busted.
I love Dracula, haven´t been able to win a game with him yet though, i believe Alice is a beast right along Sinbad, need to try them both in a 4 players game yet, to see if that changes.
I only have the base set so far and the only character I haven’t played as yet is Medusa. I played each of the other characters once and played against each of them. Sinbad was my favorite to play as. Medusa is my worst enemy regardless who I play as. Alice was my least favorite by far.
I need Cobble & Fog just so I can play against the Invisible Man and constantly quote that line from The Boys. Only got the first release. I'd put Sinbad last. Medusa or Alice first.
ZEE. have you tried Bruce lee on the raptor pen board v either Muldoon or raptors. I could t get near Robert Muldoon due to a combination of his range attack, traps and the 1 way system of the board. The raptors quickly demolished him too by pinning him in. Interested in your thoughts Zee?
The base game is Sinbad, Arthur, Medusa, and Alice. Cobble and Fog is Invisible Man, Jekyll and Hyde, Dracula, and Sherlock. The rest of the characters mentioned in the video are across various expansions.
I am feeling so confused. I could have sworn that there was a lot more than 13 characters for Unmatched. I'm not a fan of the game, but I am familiar with it. I had passed it by because I was under the impression that there were too many characters out there, that I'd have no chance of catching up. I guess I was wrong.
@@robertshashy5964 Definitely not thinking of Funkoverse. I can't stand that game. I was probably thinking of Champions....because I was picturing Marvel and DC characters. Who knows, maybe I was mixing different aspects of various games in my head. 🤪
I really enjoy Unmatched, but I still think the Bigfoot character is a bit overpowered. That is my only criticism of Unmatched. I still had a blast with it but of the 15 games or so that I played with Bigfoot or against Bigfoot, he has only lost Once to Robin Hood by the slimmest of margins. I have yet to play Cobble & Fog but I have played every other character including Raptors and Ingen.
Sorry, Zee. You're wrong about Bruce Lee. He's number 1. I've never lost with him. I've had him with 1 HP, and then attacked for over 10 to knock out someone who got cocky... just like the real Bruce Lee would have done.
Wow, your bottom rank worst character is my number one or number two. King Arthur is my BOY. I love the Arthur myths, I love high health, tanky characters, I love simple fighters who just wanna get into melee, and my favorite color is red so I even love his color scheme. That said, we do agree on Dracula. If Arthur is #1 for me, Drac has to be #2, and if Arthur isn't #1 that's because Drac took that spot.
I think medusa and alice deserve to be higher in this list. I never ever saw bruce lee getting a chance to slay medusa. In total, bruce lee is a character that lost about 90% of his fights. And alice won about 70% of her fights. I do agree about king arthur, he has such a twisted deck. For me its: #1 Medusa #2 Sindbad #3 Alice #4 Muldoon #5 Bigfoot #6 Bruce Lee #7 Raptors #8 Robin Hood #9 King Arthur PS: thanks for making the list. Really appreciate it!
I'm going to preface by making sure you know I'm asking this question honestly. I haven't played Robin hood yet because I hear from everywhere that he's bad. If I hadn't heard that he would be my first pick (I like ranged attacks). If u can convince me on him I might just got out and pick up a copy.
@@dblevins343 in my opinion, he's the best ranged character in the game. Tons of cards that make your opponent discard cards. His ability allows he AND his outlaws to move for free after any attack which is just crazy action economy in this game. And he has the most sidekicks of any character with 4. You basically feel like you're sticking to the shadows, sending your army of outlaws to do your dirty work, and basically doing everything you can to annoy your opponent the whole time. Very fun to play as and VERY annoying to play against
I think it takes a little card luck and a bit of poor positioning from the stronger character but it's not crazy for the underpowered characters to pull off a win.
I do love Invisible Man, he is my number 1. I like Bigfoot and Alice more than you. I don’t care that much for ingen, though I agree it feels unique. Good list, love this game.
The way I play it, Hit and run, try not to end your turn right beside an opposing fighter as bruce only have 14 health. Make use of bruce skill (at end of turn, move 1 space) Use the jeet kune do cards, once you are sure, your opponent have very little defense card. (If opponent have feint cards, your combo is done, so take note of how many feint your opponent have used, theres only 3 feint cards.) Else, only use some of the jeet kune do cards, keeping some for later. Some of his scheme cards have +1 actions as well.
When you play him in a 2v2 match, he can be quite devastating. BUT you have to get the right cards at the right moment AND you have to keep Merlin alive, so his cards wont be useless.
At 6:52 you mention that it is an Any card and that you can defend and attack with it. This is a mistake. The fact that it's an Any card does not mean that you can defend or attack with a card, it simply state which fighter can make use of the card. To see if it's a defense card, attack or versatile is based on the symbol above. In such, the card Clever Girl is an attack card.
Thanks for the list. Just one comment to say for Dracula’s ranking. Your initial level of health cannot be exceed. In my opinion makes Dracula not such a good character or at least not the best one in comparison with other such overpowered like Medusa, Simbad or Invisible man
I don't think it's a tier list, just his favorites.

My favorite games tend to be war games (Paths of Glory, Twilight Struggle, War of the Ring, Hammer of the Scots, the COIN series.) And I have pretty narrow tastes. But I really like Unmatched. It's really nice, light, but has more complexity than one would initially expect.

@@jeffreymonsell659 I got Cobble & Fog, Bruce Lee. Was nice to do the painting. I pulled one game, Bruce Lee (me) beats Dracula (other) !
It would be interesting to see an updated ranking now that the volume 2 is out with some very interesting characters like Sun Wukong!
Sun wiking is realy fun to Play becouse the clones
Hey Zee! I know that you all guys are busy people. But I would love to see a new list like this someday soon. This one is 2y old now and a lot of characters have came out since!
Thanks for the rankings, Zee. I love your point of view on all of it (and it's cool to see Vanish getting love!)
You say that as if I don’t CONSTANTLY talk about Vanish being the greatest Unmatched card to date, Chris 😉
Great video! It’s interesting seeing so many different opinions. My list of favourite decks to play (not who’s the most powerful) goes:
1. King Arthur
2. Dracula
3. Robin Hood
4. Bruce Lee
5. Raptors
6. Sinbad
7. Invisible man
8. Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde
9. InGen
10. Alice (I actually really enjoy playing against her)
11. Sherlock Holmes
12. Medusa
13. Bigfoot
Oh, now your list got me interested! Never before have I seen King Arthur being someone's number one. I'm glad there are folks out there giving him justice.
Happy gaming!
I started playing this game because of your videos on it Zee.
Love your work, keep up the good work
I hope this video gets updated. Heck I would love a yearly update with unmatched. I just love ranking style videos and I love unmatched so I would eat videos like this up
I'd love to see Zee and Co re-rank these with all the new sets and Tales to Amaze!
I love Unmatched, I just wish some of the sets were easier to get hold of in the UK.
They might not be the strongest, but I love the Raptors.
When my group can start meeting again regularly, I can definitely see this being a game I invest into heavily. Looks amazing.
I just purchased Cobble & Fog to jump into Unmatched... looking forward to getting it onto the table! Great insights, Zee.
I am considering doing the same..
I did that...along with Buffy ... for Christmas. Buffy vs Dracula sounds like a must cross-set game.
Glad I watched this video AFTER making a board game purchase this morning! I would not have been able to not pick up this game AND all the expansions
I'm looking forward for the Buffy set!
Just got the Buffy version today! Can’t wait to play it!
This game begs for a Dice Tower tournament!!
That Medusa card is no joke! Costs me every time. She’s hard to play against.
Unmatched needs a Chuck Norris set
Yep and if licensing is an issue, some caricature of famous martial arts characters, perhaps texas ranger and drunken master as options. I'd also love to see some additional IPs, Star Wars is obvious, Star Trek, Matrix, Warhammer, Disney Princesses, it's all up for grabs.
Easily my favorite game of 2019 and 2020.
Zee, thanks a lot for making this video! Quality content as usual.
We need an updated video, possibly with other guest opinions
Ahaha, excellent. I was thinking, surely his top one is gonna be Invisible Man or Dracula, based on the way you reviewed in previous videos. Kaboom !
It is interesting that I just watched someone else's ranking and that person put Dracula in last place. Thanks for showing your opinion.
I finally got the game, even though my friends can't read English.
I've already translated two out of four decks (Holmes and Jekyll), which was a nightmare but the game was fun.

No need to keep up with anything either. Just buy a few of the popular characters and pretend it's a normal game.

I really enjoy Unmatched, but I still think the Bigfoot character is a bit overpowered. That is my only criticism of Unmatched. I still had a blast with it but of the 15 games or so that I played with Bigfoot or against Bigfoot, he has only lost Once to Robin Hood by the slimmest of margins. I have yet to play Cobble & Fog but I have played every other character including Raptors and Ingen.
I can't wait to the marvel set
So far Sinbad is my favourite.
Don’t have cobble n fog yet.
Thought Robin Hood was a bit weak.
Wouldn't the fog give away his positon? Like smoke, rain all that would still move around and aginst him lol
Sorry, Zee. You're wrong about Bruce Lee. He's number 1. I've never lost with him. I've had him with 1 HP, and then attacked for over 10 to knock out someone who got cocky... just like the real Bruce Lee would have done.
It is not a tier list, it is his favorite decks to play.
@@dustinboatman6134 Bruce Lee is 1 on all lists.
I would have prefered them to stay at legendary/book characters. I dont like the flavor of having ip charcters in ther
I totally agree. My set will only consist of the non IP characters.
Especially comics crap.
Id say Alice is my least fav and Id move Bigfoot up a few spots. Otherwise you are pretty spot on
Bloody knew King A would be last.
Invisible Man better be number 1.
Wow, your bottom rank worst character is my number one or number two. King Arthur is my BOY. I love the Arthur myths, I love high health, tanky characters, I love simple fighters who just wanna get into melee, and my favorite color is red so I even love his color scheme.
That said, we do agree on Dracula. If Arthur is #1 for me, Drac has to be #2, and if Arthur isn't #1 that's because Drac took that spot.
With all the new boxes on the way this might have to be done again in a year.
I think medusa and alice deserve to be higher in this list. I never ever saw bruce lee getting a chance to slay medusa. In total, bruce lee is a character that lost about 90% of his fights. And alice won about 70% of her fights. I do agree about king arthur, he has such a twisted deck.
For me its:
#1 Medusa
#2 Sindbad
#3 Alice
#4 Muldoon
#5 Bigfoot
#6 Bruce Lee
#7 Raptors
#8 Robin Hood
#9 King Arthur
PS: thanks for making the list. Really appreciate it!
Robin Hood at 12? For shame sir. His ability and cards are INSANE
I'm going to preface by making sure you know I'm asking this question honestly. I haven't played Robin hood yet because I hear from everywhere that he's bad. If I hadn't heard that he would be my first pick (I like ranged attacks). If u can convince me on him I might just got out and pick up a copy.
@@dblevins343 in my opinion, he's the best ranged character in the game. Tons of cards that make your opponent discard cards. His ability allows he AND his outlaws to move for free after any attack which is just crazy action economy in this game. And he has the most sidekicks of any character with 4. You basically feel like you're sticking to the shadows, sending your army of outlaws to do your dirty work, and basically doing everything you can to annoy your opponent the whole time. Very fun to play as and VERY annoying to play against
@@danielkeim8558 hmm... sounds fun. My wallet might be in trouble 😬 😆
Do you think a low tier hero can defeat a top tier if the two players have the dame knowledge or it is completely impossible?
I think it takes a little card luck and a bit of poor positioning from the stronger character but it's not crazy for the underpowered characters to pull off a win.
I do love Invisible Man, he is my number 1. I like Bigfoot and Alice more than you. I don’t care that much for ingen, though I agree it feels unique. Good list, love this game.
I find bruce lee really hard to use, do you have any tips on and strategy?
The way I play it, Hit and run, try not to end your turn right beside an opposing fighter as bruce only have 14 health.
Make use of bruce skill (at end of turn, move 1 space)
Use the jeet kune do cards, once you are sure, your opponent have very little defense card. (If opponent have feint cards, your combo is done, so take note of how many feint your opponent have used, theres only 3 feint cards.)
Else, only use some of the jeet kune do cards, keeping some for later.
Some of his scheme cards have +1 actions as well.
King Arthur at the bottom of the barrel is the right call. Never won with him, despite every effort and many plays.
When you play him in a 2v2 match, he can be quite devastating. BUT you have to get the right cards at the right moment AND you have to keep Merlin alive, so his cards wont be useless.
King Arthur is my favorite character for sure but he is really bad in gameplay. Obviously, he can’t win a game in 1vs1
Well if you do this again in a year its going to be a lot more difficult with all the marvel characters.
My top is almost reversed 😝
At 6:52 you mention that it is an Any card and that you can defend and attack with it. This is a mistake. The fact that it's an Any card does not mean that you can defend or attack with a card, it simply state which fighter can make use of the card. To see if it's a defense card, attack or versatile is based on the symbol above. In such, the card Clever Girl is an attack card.
Thanks for the list. Just one comment to say for Dracula’s ranking. Your initial level of health cannot be exceed. In my opinion makes Dracula not such a good character or at least not the best one in comparison with other such overpowered like Medusa, Simbad or Invisible man
Who here logs their plays on the results tracker? boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/272967/unmatched-results-tracking
No love for Beowulf? I mean, he’s not the greatest but I was interested to see what your thoughts on the deck would’ve been
Stunned Bigfoot isn't near the top. He kinda dominates all of the games I've played with him in it.
I don't think it's a tier list, just his favorites.

My favorite games tend to be war games (Paths of Glory, Twilight Struggle, War of the Ring, Hammer of the Scots, the COIN series.) And I have pretty narrow tastes. But I really like Unmatched. It's really nice, light, but has more complexity than one would initially expect.
@@jeffreymonsell659 I got Cobble & Fog, Bruce Lee. Was nice to do the painting. I pulled one game, Bruce Lee (me) beats Dracula (other) !
I totally disagree, sinbad is the worst, you run out of deck and you lose because of that.
