Genie & Houdini Prepare To Enter The Ring For Unmatched

June 23, 2022 by fcostin

A short bit of news for all of those Unmatched players out there. After the last announcement of both Dr. Sattler and the T-Rex joining Unmatched, we have been teased by our next set of characters with a cheeky preview of the front cover. Enter Harry Houdini and The Genie of the Lamp into the Unmatched Arena, in the upcoming set: Unmatched: Houdini vs. The Genie.

Houdini Vs The Genie // Restoration Games

These are certainly two characters that I would not expect to see! I can imagine the Genie has a few tricks up his sleeve - or in his lamp. But Harry Houdini may be using the art of illusion to fare well amongst the other champions.

Two summers ago, Restoration games encouraged fans of Unmatched to design their own original decks, for their chance to have them made into a product to join the roster. The four winning figures were, Adil M. Geresu with The Genie of the Lamp, Sam Crane with Harry Houdini, Jonathan Guberman with William Shakespeare and Chet Dudick & Charles Peters with Rosie the Riveter.

I am not too sure how good ol Bill Shakespeare will fare against the likes of Achilles and a rampaging raptor. But, we can expect the pen to be mightier than the sword, maybe he will kill them with words!

There's no date nailed down for these upcoming heroes, however now that the artwork has been teased - we can hope to see these characters on the table soon!

Would you invite any of these champions into your game of Unmatched?
