Restoration Games is now taking pre-orders for one of their new Unmatched sets. This time around we're seeing illusions and magic thrown into the mix with Houdini Vs The Genie!

These new characters were designed as part of a neat competition. Adil M. Geresu came up with the mechanics behind The Genie Of The Lamp and Sam Crane put together what you see for Harry Houdini. This then comes together with amazing artwork from Brian Patterson and Peter Diamond alongside two lovely miniatures representing the two combatants.

Much like with the previous games in the Unmatched series, this new set can be played as a two-player affair or you can introduce other heroes and villains into the mix and play out games where Houdini has to take on characters from the Marvel universe or even Beowulf. It is very flexible and offers up some fun new ways to play the game.

Plenty of tricks are on show here when it comes to these two characters and I bet they will be interesting for veterans who have picked up everything so far for Unmatched. It's all about tactical movement and making the most of your hand of cards since combat features no luck. If you mess up, it's down to you!

I've played a bit of Unmatched and I really like the system. It's nice to see it expanding and introducing loads of new characters and I hope that we get to see more in the near future.
