Thread: Unmatched: Cobble & Fog:: General:: Is the game playable with 5 people?
by DonSmilo
I know that people say that they like the game most in 2 player. However, if I wanted to occasionally play a game with 5 people instead of two smaller groups in games simultaneously, then how well do you think it would go and does anyone have advice on how to make it better? Thank you↧

I don't think five would work. All the battlefields are designed for 2 or 4 players for example. Maybe if you custom designed your own?↧

So, I've played 2v2, 3p FFA, and 1v1. I think 1v1 was best; and probably will be best.2v2 works and is balanced/fair, and makes for a fun tactical game, particularly if u have sidekicks and traps (😈 Ingen is fun) to create chokepoints and barriers.
3p FFA had more avoiding the other guys hoping they would kill each other; and could b subject to kingmaker problems.
5p on the standard maps would likely be crowded; particularly if u have chars w/ sidekicks (especially char w multiple 1 point sidekicks). U should obviously play FFA. Chars w/ ranged attacks and area of effect kinds of attacks (like dmg everyone in a zone) would have a power shift in their favor. Also I think it would change the tempo of the game; in the sense that chars who r likely to exhaust faster (or have less hp) will be at a disadvantage.IT would be kind of a chaotic game/bloodbath.
Try it out, let us know how it went.

He's very fun to play, and I think as people (myself included) have better learned his nuances, we've realized he's not as bad as the numbers on his card might indicate. Most people's complaint with him is his lack of attack cards. It's pretty difficult for him to eliminate a tanky character. But dancing around strong enemies not only feels thematic, but actually seems to be a viable strategy to win with Invisible Man. Especially if he has support in a 2v2 game. Just my two cents. I would still rank him as the weakest character in The Cobble and fog set, but certainly fun to play and he can definitely win when executed correctly.↧

I've only had five players come to the table for a game of unmatched one time, but in that case, we had the most experienced player control two characters and played a three versus three game. The map was very crowded, and in hindsight, we probably should have played a 2v2 and a 1v1 game using that same scenario. But it seems to work better than a wonky imbalanced 3v2 or free for all scenario↧

"Pick up" is more or less literal in this context (hence "you first have to get someone to pick up a box before they'll buy it") -- what gets a typical buyer to bother looking at a game and decide whether it's something they'd consider playing it. In most cases that's a graphic design/art/marketing challenge; stuff like card interactions won't play into it at all.
That said, I'm definitely in favor of more obscure (or rather, more diverse and unpredictable) picks and think Yennenga is a step in the right direction. (I'm also going to keep banging on the "ladies' night sets" drum for, I assume, the duration of the series.)

Well I bought my UnMatched stuff online (pre-ordering Cobble & Fog) so I didn't "pick it up" b4 buying it. 😋
I saw the Victorian Gothic Horror chars/motifs, thought "cool! I like those guys!" watched some UnMatched reviews, learned about gameplay, liked the card system (🤮 at dice (in general, not always)), and bought it, then Bruce Lee, then several other ones.
But in general, I'm not gonna buy something because it's obscure (this thread's title literally asks for "a set devoted to unknowns") and frankly I'll probably avoid it. It's also probably bad marketing in general. Kids (a large segment of the target audience as this is low entry family game) aren't go "Oh cool! It's Cuhullin!" They'll go "Huh?...Whatever." They might go "Oh Cool! It's The Mandalorian!"
Also, as a general rule, I think it's a bad idea to tell your audience "Here's a character important to history. Your homework assignment (if u wanna enjoy playing with this character) is to go read up on him." The barrier to entry should be low.

Problem with this mindset is that it kills creativity and leaves no room for better exploration of diversity. And that is bad. Should everyone always make games/movies/etc about what is popular at the moment?
And as Justin wrote and as Restoration proves with previous sets, there is enough of character mix that everybody can choose from. This also solves the 'barrier' problem: people will see a set with characters they like, buy it and can play right away. Then if they love the core mechanics enough, they will start looking for more. Maybe they will again choose just characters they know, maybe they will branch out. In any case, Unmatched is great at being approachable at entry level.
Also Mandalorian? Eh, whatever. You also mentioned some 80's movies. Do you want Unmatched to only include well known IPs? That approach would be boring. And I'm a millenial, I was also conditioned to be a consumer, so I get the appeal of it. But it's good to diversify. Again, I will refer to the post from Justin which tells me I can trust them to continue to mix it up. And that's good.

My main take from the many 'what characters could we do' threads is that the Unmatched game has so much potential and a healthy roadmap ahead. [Justin} Sounds like this will be a lifetime job for you!
I also notice that a lot of folk have made their own decks for their 'obscure' characters.

It’s a shame this fine discussion about the special ability came to a sudden halt unresolved. The wording on https://unmatched.cards/decks/lB-k/ has not been updated, so the confusion still hangs over this great deck.I would propose: “After any player takes an action, when there are exactly 2 DEADLY SIN cards in your discard pile, remove them from the game and look at the top card of an opponent's deck. Then choose to put it on the top or bottom of their deck.”
