Unmatched: Slings and Arrows – Shakespeare enters the arena!
“All the world’s a stage,” he used to say. But now, that stage is an arena, and Shakespeare doesn’t write: he fights . With Slings and Arrows , the Unmatched series is colored with theater, enchantment, and tragedy at the edge of the blade. Four iconic characters face off on the Globe Theatre’s stage, amidst cutting verses and cards worthy of standing ovations.
In William Shakespeare 's deck, every card is a line to be delivered with perfect timing. The three Witches (The Wayward Sisters) act as an arcane trio: move them cunningly to trigger textbook combos. Then there's Hamlet , the indecisive but deadly prince, and Titania , queen of the fairy world ready to enchant the battlefield.
This Unmatched expansion is standalone , but can be combined with all the other sets for increasingly absurd (and poetic) duels: Macbeth vs. Bruce Lee? Sherlock vs. Titania? Why not, dear player?
Why FroGames enters the top

Unmatched - Slings and Arrows
Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Fight theatrical duels with Shakespeare's characters
In Slings and Arrows , an expansion to the Unmatched series, you enter the scene with iconic figures from Shakespeare's plays such as Hamlet, Lady Macbeth, Titania, and King Lear . It's an asymmetrical board game where each character has a unique deck and a different playstyle.
2. Each character has mechanics inspired by their tragedy (or comedy)
Hamlet reflects and counterattacks, Lady Macbeth plays with sacrifice, Titania manipulates with fairy magic, and King Lear… well, he screams to the heavens as he tries to survive. Each deck tells the story of its character through its mechanics .
3. It is played on a compact zone map: move, strike, bluff
The battlefield is divided into colored areas. Each turn you can move, attack, or activate special abilities , and use your position to gain an advantage. The duel is fast-paced but full of strategic choices .
4. Cards are the heart of the game: every choice counts
Attacks, defenses, special effects, interruptions: it's all in your deck. Every card you play is gone forever (unless you manage to draw it back), so you have to know when to strike... and when to act .
5. Whoever sends the other out of the picture (literally) wins.
The duel ends when one of the two characters reaches zero health points. It doesn't matter whether you use deception, violence, or poetry: the important thing is to stay on stage while your opponent falls into darkness .

Strategic board game featuring Shakespeare, Hamlet, Titania, and the Sisters of Fate
Poetic duels, enchanted spells, and one-act tragedies: the theater is now a battlefield.
Welcome to the craziest Globe Theatre you've ever seen: on stage, battles are fought with verses, spells and twists.
Unmatched: Slings and Arrows brings to the stage four new legendary literary souls, including the Bard himself – William Shakespeare – who uses rhyme to inflict damage, evoking tragedy and bitter laughter.
The Sisters of Fate bewitch the field with a three-headed deck, Hamlet eats himself inside while fighting outside, and Titania … well, she's the queen of the fairies, you don't want to piss her off.
Each character has a unique deck , original mechanics, and a style that seems to have been written by a brilliant director.
It's theater, yes. But with swords drawn.
Unmatched: Slings and Arrows – The perfect board game for those who love duels, literature, and brilliant strategies
If you're looking for a strategic board game for 2 or 4 players , Unmatched: Slings and Arrows is an experience unlike any other.
Each deck is built around iconic characters from Shakespeare's plays, with skills, references, and plot twists worthy of a tragedy. The game works without dice: everything is based on card management, timing of actions, and clever use of the battlefield.
Thanks to the total asymmetry between the characters, each game is a confrontation between completely different styles, perfect for those who love dueling board games and are always looking for new challenges.
Slings and Arrows can be played on its own or combined with other titles in the Unmatched series, creating impossible and memorable crossovers, like Shakespeare versus Dracula… or Witches versus Bigfoot.

We played it. It's poetry and punches 🐸
Yes, we played it. And it left us speechless (but with a hand full of cards).
The Power of Slings and Arrows lies in the coherence between theme and gameplay: Shakespeare constructs sentences in iambic pentameter to empower his attacks. The Witches act synergistically as a single, three-voiced entity. Titania manipulates the field with fatal elegance. Hamlet is torn … and devastating.
It's a board game for 2 players that we recommend to those looking for original strategies , pure asymmetry, and a setting that isn't just a backdrop: it's an integral part of the challenge.
And no, you don't have to be a theater expert to have fun. But you could become one.
