«Unmatched: Slings and Arrows» — is a board game for two players where you can battle as your favorite Shakespearean characters.

Who’s stronger – Hamlet or the mighty Genie? Sinbad or Robin Hood? The most renowned fighters from every corner of global culture have gathered to stage the most epic showdown in the world of board games.

Characters

• The Weird Sisters. The three witches are prominent figures in the play. Their names bring misfortune to anyone bold enough to utter them. We’re certainly not foolish enough to do so here! Do they intentionally drive the protagonist forward, or as clairvoyant seers, merely foretell the inevitable before it unfolds? Their true nature remains a mystery.
• Hamlet, the doomed prince. «Hamlet», one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated plays, tells the tragedy of the Danish prince, broken by grief and consumed by a quest for vengeance for his father’s murder at the hands of his uncle. Is he pretending to be mad, or has his mind truly unraveled? In the end, it matters little, as only his friend Horatio survives to recount this tragic tale.
• Titania, queen of the fairies. Passionate and tempestuous lovers — Queen Titania and King Oberon — are characters in Shakespeare’s whimsical comedy «A Midsummer Night’s Dream». From their seemingly petty quarrel, chaos erupts, as beyond their elegant royal manners, they wield enigmatic and chaotic fairy and elf magic.
• William Shakespeare. The Bard of Avon was a prolific playwright who crafted lines and gave life to characters whose words echo to this day. The texts in this set reference only a few of his 39 plays. Shakespeare is buried where he was born — in Stratford-upon-Avon. His tombstone bears the epitaph: «Blessed be the man that spares these stones, And cursed be he that moves my bones».
