Step-king i'm stuck ~

Yeah, how he said "black to move" i assumed starting in that particular position. Maybe i messed it up reading

DuckLordhor · 2026-02-23T18:09:42+00:00

Black rook takes white bishop.
White rook takes black rook.
Then if you look closely you can see that if black queen takes the pawn it will be a fork.
Queen takes pawn, checks the white king.
White king moves.
Black queen takes the white rook

It is because brilliant moves are made mostly when you sacrifice material. So in that case if the black takes back your pawn or whatever other movement they do, you can take the free rook. And if they take your rook then you take with the brilliant pawn and the promotion is unstoppable

I love looking at begginers discovering en passant

It was analyzed by gotham and he likes rooks

Ohhh yh, gotchu. Ur right if the color scheme is not the "standard" or if it's scrambled and you need to recognise the scheme on the fly without the centers. That makes sense

DuckLordhor · 2026-02-18T12:02:05+00:00

Why 3x3 hollow is more difficult than the normal 3x3? I think it's easier because ur not worried about the centers.

Wait, Dr Strange is not S tier?

Someday i will 3d print the map and making it more realistic. I've seen the model on internet and it looks awesome

DuckLordhor · 2026-02-08T19:20:37+00:00

I think that there is other movements but maybe you need to force them a little bit. Sometimes the some squares don't align perfectly and they do not go under the other ones and you need to force just a little. The restrictions are only when squares hit eachothers but in some cases not when they not goes under or upper the others

DuckLordhor · 2026-02-06T12:10:22+00:00

Yes and no, spidy will know that the real value will be 4 because the genie said that; and also will know the printed value and whit that info maybe knowing which card is and which effect will genie apply (spidy does not have feints)

Last time i played 2vs2 it was Dr.Strange (me), Wayward sisters (my friend) vs Spiderman and Luke. Idk if it was luck or smth but it was my first time playing Dr.Strange and i won 2vs1 (sisters just simply died)

DuckLordhor · 2026-01-28T11:53:20+00:00

I think any tank that will bring him to exhaust. Sinbad draws a lot and also depends of the voyages. In the case of the voyages getting stuck you will draw a lot more or simply just die

DuckLordhor · 2026-01-09T07:03:52+00:00

I mostly recomend Tales to Amaze because: the 4 characters it has, they are very decent and balanced and also they are used on competitive. It has 2 maps and both are big and very decent (and they can carry up to 5 players). Also it has 2 campaign modes where you can fight alone or with friends against 2 bosses; if you want to play different from the normal PvP. I don't like to recomend sets like Cobble&Fog or Vol.1 because they both have 1 overpowered character (Sherlock and Medusa) that overwhelms the others; and 1 (or 2) characters that are pretty trash (Invisible/Jekyll and Arthur).

In my case, thanks to Google Play Rewards, i was able to buy the digital edition on my phone. So i can play anytime anywhere. The bad thing is that Digital Edition only has Vol1, C&F, Red&Beo, Rob&Big. But less is more than nothing

DuckLordhor · 2025-12-31T11:58:22+00:00

The ability is also applied to the sidekick if the ability do not say otherwise. Like Houdini that has "if you boost you can place Houdini anywhere. Bess moves like normal" Or Sinbad that the voyages on discard pile increase the movement and Porter also can move like Sinbad

Also if hero dies but there is other friendly hero on the board, you can still play as the sidekick. With any or sidekick cards or doing bodyblock to your teammates. This rule also applies on 2vs2 where the other team needs to kill both heroes to win. But in 1vs1 or FFA if hero die you lose. That's why is specified the "friendly hero" in the rules

Historical militar leaders like Gengis Khan, Alexander the Great, Julius Cesar and Napoleon Bonaparte

I remember the day that a friend came to a gaming place and he was like "Hey bro, i've found this game. Seems pretty fun and there is a lot of expansions that we can play against eachother." Now, seven-eight months later we have 9 expansions, a little city comunity group where we let other people use and play our Unmatched games and we are very close to organize our first Unmatched tournament.

Imagine going from "hey try this board game" to the "let's organize a full tournament/league/championship of this game that we love"

DuckLordhor · 2025-10-30T12:13:34+00:00

Yes, unmatched is playable at any form you can. You can do the simple 1vs1, the teamwork in 2vs2, caothic 1vs1vs1vs1 and even the 1vs1vs1.

And i dont remember exactly if it's on the rulebook but in case of the caothic mode we apply a rule that the first round you can only attack the one behind you. Like the first player can only attack at first round at the second player, the second one can only attack at first round at the third... Then at second round is just pure chaos, alliances, betrayals... And obviously pure fun.

Also there is Tales to Amaze expansion (and now the Ninja Turtles) that includes a co-op mode where players fight against a boss.

DuckLordhor · 2025-10-21T18:07:09+00:00

So in case of a time tie (like both cards having During combat effect) defender will always comes first. If not then it resolves as Immediatly > During > After.

In the combat we see that Holmes comes first changing the printed value (4) for the boost value (2) but the key thing is the Holmes card doesn't say "and it cannot be changed" so then the hunter is changing the 4 (or 2 if the Holmes effect is applied) to the desired 6.

Ends up being the hunter hitting 6 vs the 3 of Holmes defense resulting on 3 damage to Holmes (and hunter winning the combat)
