9:10 It actually matters quite a bit. While the drawing of the extra cards gives the T-Rex player more options, it is also a weakness because she must take 2 damage every time she needs to draw a card but cannot because she has exhausted her deck. One viable tactic against the T-Rex is to run away, let her exhaust her deck, then strike when her health has been whittled down because of the exhaustion rule. The deck is 30 cards large, but because the starting hand is 5, the pool is 25. The T-Rex, however, must maneuver to get into striking range because she needs to kill her opponent quickly before her deck runs out, so she will likely be drawing at least 2 cards from her deck each turn. For practical purposes, therefore, the T-Rex has at most 12 turns before starting to automatically take damage as long as her opponent stays out of reach such that she must spend an action to maneuver. Moreover, a lot of the T-Rex's powerful attacks damage herself. She needs to corner her opponent and finish the match quickly (FYI if I counted correctly, your game lasted 7 turns) before she starts to lose too much health by either self-inflicted wounds or exhaustion.
I've been having this question, and this is my takeaway. You gotta take 2 actions. First action maneuver, draw 1 card, and move all fighters up to their numbered value. Second action attack, but you can only attack with 1 fighter, not all fighters, even if they are all within range.
Yes, Unmatched tournament please!!! I love your guy's Villainous and Dice Throne ones! And all three are my partner and mine's favourite games. Cheers from NB!
At 13:27, wouldn't the T. Rex's card effect stop every single fighter from moving because it simply said "fighters" and not "fighter involved in the combat"?
First of all, MORE UNMATCHED PLAYTHROUGH PLEASE!!!!! Second, what do you guys think of Super Fantasy Brawl? Has the 1v1 asymmetry fight as unmatched but it also has objectives, looks so fun!
@@FostertheMeeple ooohh yeah i think so too, having the actual miniatures on your hand would definitely increase the fun factor of it, would love to see you guys' reviews (or maybe playthrough? 🤞🏽) of Super Fantasy Brawl!!!
A tournament would be cool to watch… wife and I just started playing this more recently… just both legends set, both Dino sets and Bigfoot… wish there was a few more around the valley playing it but atleast it’s about weeknight game for now.
At about the 15 minute mark, are you sure Jeff had to discard a card. The T-Rex card said move "then" anyone adjacent discards a card. After the T-Rex moved no one was adjacent.

Mistakes are gonna happen!
Love the playthrough format! An Unmatched tournament would be a lot of fun, or a breakdown of your favorites and why.
Thanks for the suggestions Emily!! We are gonna see what we can make happen
Yes, an Unmatched Tournament please!
You want Unmatched tournaments? There is a pretty serious competitive scene for the game. See here, e.g.: th-cam.com/users/UnmatchedTournamentvideos
Will see what we can do!
Unmaaaatched!!! Best game! Fantastic idea to put all the UM dinos on the table.
Had to be done!
Unmatched tournament!!!!!!!!
Hahaha thanks for the insight!!
Great match! And YES PLEASE, more Unmatched playthroughs!!!
We just grabbed a ton of the unmatched games so YES to more of this!!! 👏
Woohoo!! Enjoy!

I just started getting into Unmatched, playing with my kids, and they and I all love it. I would love to see more Unmatched. Maybe a tournament?
We’re considering it!
An unmatched video in the same draft style as your villainous one would be sooo gooooddd
We will see what we can do!

We are gonna try our best to make it happen! Woohoo NB!
I love the mix between explanations and your usual banter. Looking forward to an unmatched draft :)
100% unmatched series! Love the game! Great video.
Thanks Peter!
Omg Unmatched is one of my favorite games and I am ALL for some great Foster the Meeple Unmatched content!
Stay tuned!!
Awesome with some playthrough content! And also, take my vote for the Unmatched Tournament :D
I love your channel, Jurassic park and Unmatched so this was a perfect vid, although I was hoping you'd go for 2 wins out of 3.
We try to keep videos short and sweet!
After watching the New Shelves video, I want an Unmatched tournament for the draft alone lol such a great roster!
That looked like so much fun! I definitely have to put this on my Boardgame wishlist! Thanks for the video😊
Thanks for watching!
Love Unmatched and would love to see more of your matches.
Stay tuned!

I’m not sure without looking at the rulebook! But that seems likely
another vote for an Unmatched tournament!! 🤩

Jamie hasn’t played SFB, and I’ve only played it on BGA. I think I’d have liked it better in person with the miniatures

With all the new sets coming out would love to see a best sets or characters list with all the new ones
Will see what we can do!
Boosting with Rex is a necessity
That's was interesting thank you.
I have heard that Cobble and Fog is a great set!
It is!!
Personally in my opinion Jeff you look so much like the winter soldier when he has shorter hair(from marvel).❄️
WOW. What a compliment. I’ll take it haha
Cool video :-) What do you think about the game Raptor?
We haven’t had a chance to play raptor yet!
A tournament would be cool to watch… wife and I just started playing this more recently… just both legends set, both Dino sets and Bigfoot… wish there was a few more around the valley playing it but atleast it’s about weeknight game for now.
Another fellow Nova Scotian?!? NICE! We definitely plan to have some tournament content up in the future, not sure when but it’ll happen!
@@FostertheMeeple yes NS… normally only get to the board room for math trades last couple of years with covid
I'm gonna need to get a few Unmatched games. I have none in the collection.
Cobble & Fog is a great start!
Good video, that was fun!
Thanks Steve!

Oops!!
Lol. No wonder Jeff lost.... Rematch
Now do Sattler vs. Muldoon! Because man (or woman?) is the most dangerous game of all!
Haha that would be interesting
If you have not tried one, get yourself a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew from Starbucks. Two words- Life changing!
I’ll pass this along to Jamie haha
How about Tales to Amaze coop?
Haven’t tried it yet!
Have you guys tried Funkoverse at all?
We have! Just the HP version.
At 12 26 that raptor was not adjacent to the trex
Mistakes happen
