About the game
If you think you know who would win an epic brawl in The Witcher universe, now is your chance to prove it! Unmatched: Realms Fall brings the tension of asymmetrical duels to the world of Geralt and his allies. In this game, dice luck doesn't call the shots; victory goes to whoever best manages their hand of cards and masters tactical positioning on the map. Each hero possesses a unique deck reflecting their personality and lore, making every match a different strategic puzzle.

In this expansion, the heat rises with the arrival of iconic characters. There's Philippa, a scheming sorceress who never runs out of cards, and King Eredin, who commands the Wild Hunt and grows stronger as his riders are struck down. However, the real game-changer is the duo of Yennefer and Triss. For the first time in Unmatched history, you get to choose who takes the lead as the hero and who acts as the sidekick, with different special abilities for each role. Total flexibility to tailor your strategy!

Beyond the characters, the set introduces two new battlefields featuring brand new map mechanics, adding fresh layers of strategy to movement. You'll need to calculate every step, keep an eye on line of sight, and know exactly when to strike or retreat. It's a fast-paced yet intense experience, perfect for those who love tactical combat and the weight of every decision. Whether you're a fan of the novels, the CD Projekt Red games, or just someone who enjoys fighting games with miniatures, Realms Fall delivers the perfect blend of adrenaline and strategy. Prepare your deck, choose your champion, and try to survive the fall of the realms!
