I never got to try this system but I know multiple people who talk about Epic Duels to this day. This should be fun.

I've been on a serious skirmish kick lately. This couldn't have been announced at a better time. The licensed character packs could be literally anything. We're approaching Heroscape levels of potential characters here.

It's a kids game. Plays fast and fun, you get to mook your character's voice as you play. Vader kicks ass in it, as it should be.
A lot of fun, but don't expect deep deep thought.

I love the literary theme they’re going with here. I’d love to see Sherlock Holmes and Dracula in the future.

The licensed tie-ins here don't particularly interest me, but hopefully they encourage people to support the new game. The variety of potential characters is still exciting. That Penny Dreadful-esque expansion they have lined up sounds cool, too. Deadliest Warrior ran for 32 episodes, which totals 62 historical warriors plus vampires and zombies. If the added crunch in Unmatched can give the Epic Duels system new legs (a la MtG: Arena of the Planeswalkers), I may have to clear a bunch of shelf space.

Mondo has a number of John Carpenter licenses. Love to see those get some play.

P.S. - I merged the two threads.

I don't think Mondo has Big Trouble in Little China, but I would absolutely lose my mind for a team from that. With Wang as the main character and Jack as the sidekick, of course.
I could see this doing INCREDIBLY well depending on how the licenses shake out. They said that Bruce Lee was some kind of limited thing, which worries me, but we'll see what happens.

Yeah, that makes sense. I think at the time I played it, I would have less appreciation for such a thing.

Especially when you compare them against Darth Vader and his 20 point choke-the-ever-loving-shit-out-of-you card.
Tannhauser LOS system was interesting. Maybe that's enough to raise it above it's original incarnation. I wonder if I can just throw this on Heroscape tiles and not have any compatibility issues.
