Unmatched: Cobble & Fog is a miniatures fighting game set in Victorian London. Each player picks a hero: Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, or the Invisible Man.
Each hero has a unique deck that plays very differently. On your turn you take two actions: maneuver, attack or scheme. Attacks are resolved by playing cards face down and revealing them together. You win by defeating your opponent's hero. It plays 2 to 4 players, and it combines with other Unmatched sets.
