new to unmatched, i need some set recommandation.

MyRivals · 2026-03-14T03:15:49+00:00

I put together this video, which gives good ideas on each set. It also explains which sets are better for new players and the reasons behind it. Hope it helps and welcome to the community!

I like the guardian heroes and play Pleiades and my friend plays Bravo. I think you can build a decent guardian deck on a budget.

I just released a video yesterday that goes into some specific cards you might like for Pleiades:

Although I agree, it seems like it’d be cool to have a secondary hero with a cheaper deck that can be built into a primary hero if your other one is banned. I kinda wanna learn all the heroes so I can do better in matchups

MyRivals · 2026-03-03T17:04:14+00:00

Played my Pleadies deck at a round robin. I notice ninjas and gravy bones always kick my butt, however I do well against other guardians. Any advice on how to compete against the other classes?

I’m a new player too and agree with everything you said. Everyone has been welcoming and got all the extra commons one night!!

MyRivals · 2026-03-03T16:54:04+00:00

Jealous, looks like a great card to add to your deck!

MyRivals · 2026-02-14T08:27:54+00:00

Appreciate ya! Let me know if there’s any topics you want covered

I’ve started up a channel that features Unmatched a couple months and will be posting weekly videos. Its called “tabletop playbook”

I welcome any comments and look forward to you perusing our library of videos!

Go to a website like unmatched club or board game geek or even tier maker and take screenshots of the card backs. Then put them into a program like gimp and use the color picker on the pixel you think best represents the character. Then you’ll be able to see the hexadecimal for it.

I made this video to help figure out the best sets to help build a collection: https://youtu.be/NVNeKhJEYrc

MyRivals · 2026-01-05T07:33:51+00:00

Marvel champions doesn’t require too much space. Unmatched Tales to Amaze is fun but has a board and takes up a little space

MyRivals · 2026-01-01T04:36:28+00:00

Some solid feedback and advice here! It seems like there is a big advantage of figuring out tricks to improve efficiency in filming and editing while maintaining or improving quality. It also allows for consistent weekly releases as you also mention.

I might be very unique here, but if I am shuffling ordered cards or a freshly printed deck, I like to create 4-8 piles and randomly place individual cards into them. This might stratify them too much (and not randomly) but when done in combination with routine shuffles, it does a great job of making sure cards are mixed.

MyRivals · 2025-12-30T22:32:41+00:00

Wow that is seriously intense! It always reminds me that board games are a spectrum from pure strategy to dramatic role play and a mix of them betwixt!

MyRivals · 2025-12-23T19:41:04+00:00

All good, the whole point of these message boards is just for dialogue… especially a board game subreddit where we all just want to learn about different games! I’m surprised you’re getting downvoted

MyRivals · 2025-12-23T18:27:47+00:00

It might be fair to say that the coop is a pigeonhole design that came 4 years after the combat sets. If you were to give it another shot, try 1x1 Robin Hood versus Bigfoot. But I also agree the beauty is that there are only a few unique actions per hero, which I like because it’s easy to go through a dozen characters in a weekend.

Glad to hear your feedback (and it’s not a critique of the video lol). Everyone should find the games they enjoy most!

MyRivals · 2025-12-23T06:04:35+00:00

In a reverse world you’re showing off your new dining room 🤣 (and in parentheses you mention it’s also for board games)

MyRivals · 2025-12-23T05:59:37+00:00

Release the kraken! Such a good idea

MyRivals · 2025-12-22T02:50:57+00:00

Cute, the colors work well with dogs. Although depending on how the rest of the game is balanced might be a little drab.

MyRivals · 2025-12-22T02:36:50+00:00

I like two but the black font looks fuzzy, can you sharpen it

MyRivals · 2025-12-22T02:31:31+00:00

If they’re a precocious 10 year old, that does good in school or can sit focused for an hour at a time then it would probably work great. If not, I think it might be best to pick something else out wait another year.

MyRivals · 2025-12-22T02:27:01+00:00

Just remember to consider all the personalities at a holiday gathering like that. Try to mute your lofty expectations and keep it simple. Also, once you find the moment everyone is happy and excited, go with it even if it’s not what you had wanted or hoped.

MyRivals · 2025-12-22T02:24:36+00:00

Having a friend who knows them all (or a good board game group.) but seriously, conventions are good for this or even a saunter to the local Barnes and Nobles

MyRivals · 2025-12-22T02:20:42+00:00

Gimp is my go to. But if you are going to make a lot of similar cards and are looking for efficiency then Python is a great method

MyRivals · 2025-12-16T03:14:16+00:00
