Unmatched: Battle of Legends, Vol. 3
Players: 2–4 • Ages: 9+ • Play time: 20–40 min.
Unmatched is a highly asymmetrical miniature-fighting game for two or four players. Each hero is represented by a unique deck designed to evoke their style and legend. Tactical movement and no-luck combat resolution create a unique play experience that rewards expertise, but just when you’ve mastered one set, new heroes arrive to provide all new matchups.
Battle of Legends, Volume 3 features four disparate heroes: the pirate Blackbeard, the beastly Chupacabra, the trickster Loki, and the cursed and gifted Pandora. Combat is resolved quickly by comparing attack and defense cards. However, each card’s unique effects and a simple but deep timing system lead to interesting decisions each time. The game includes a double-sided board with two different battlefields (one of which is Santa’s Workshop, which features a new map mechanism), pre-washed miniatures for each hero, and custom life trackers. As with every Unmatched set, these heroes can face off against fighters from other sets—even the villains in Unmatched Adventures.
Cypher System: Neon Rain
Take your Cypher System game into the cyberpunk realm with Neon Rain. Install cybernetic upgrades, use virtual reality to hack into corpo mainframes, and dodge guardians and traps built by hostile AIs. Smuggle designer drugs, or tweak with your own body chemistry and risk addiction and death. Chase and be chased at breakneck speeds on futuristic highways under a night sky.
Inside this book you’ll find:
- Advice and tools for building your own intense cyberpunk setting, including optional rules (such as hacking and ultimate damage), creatures, cyphers, and artifacts.
- New foci, descriptors, and other options—build a Furious Solo who Packs Chromed Heat, an Engram Tech who Explores Cyberspace, or an Addicted Hotshot who Has a Custom Drone.
- Steely and mysterious creatures and NPCs ready to be dropped into any encounter; come across android Police Officer Tindal, or send the ruthless assassin Sophie Cantos after your rivals. Visit Theodora Fry in the black market, if you dare, or hire Balaga, the fastest driver in town, for your next heist.
- A ready-to-play setting featuring all the iconic cyberpunk elements you’d expect (and possibly some you won’t): cybernetics, megacorporations, street gangs, a weird internet, and ready-to-use encounter locations.
- Two complete adventures usable in Edge City or your own setting: “Seventeeth Floor” and “Needle in the Haystack”!
Neon Rain is a setting and supplement for the Cypher System. Requires the Cypher System Rulebook for play.
Liar's Dice
Players: 2–6 • Ages: 8+ • Play time: 15–30 min.
Liar’s Dice is a game in which each player is given five dice and cup to roll and hide them with. Players make successively higher declarations regarding the results of all the dice remaining in the game, e.g. “There are ten sixes.” However, someone can always contest the bid. When that happens, all the dice are revealed, and either the bidder or the caller loses dice, depending on who was correct. The last player with dice is the winner.
As a public-domain dice game, there are a number of variants or similar games called Liar’s Dice. This includes one that is often played with Poker Dice, and it differs from the marketed versions in that players only declare on their own hands’ values (as opposed to all dice being in play), using poker-hand values.
