About the game

What is Unmatched: Brains and Brawn?

Unmatched: Brains and Brawn, the fifth and final Unmatched Marvel set, features some of Marvel's hottest heroes: Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, and She-Hulk. Spidey swings around the battlefield, using his spider-sense to keep him safe. Dr. Strange has, well, the best card names in the game: Behold the Seven Suns of Cinnibus! And She-Hulk won't think twice about throwing the book — or whatever heavy happens to be nearby — at you. As Stan the Man might say, Brains and Brawn features an amazing array of astounding artists. Cover and She-Hulk illustration by comics veteran Joshua "Sway" Swaby. Dr. Strange illustration by The Brave Union. And Spider-Man is brought to life by Unmatched favorite, Oliver Barrett. —description from the publisher
