What to Expect
Expect short, tactical skirmishes using unique hero decks inspired by The Witcher. The game blends Point-to-Point Movement, Line of Sight and Hand Management: positioning and well-timed card plays decide outcomes. Realms Fall adds two battlefields with a new map mechanic and features Eredin, Philippa, and Triss & Yennefer.
Who Is This Game For?
For fans of two- or three-player fighting games and the Unmatched system: the asymmetry and variable powers give it a connoisseur-level feel. With a playtime of about 40 minutes it suits players who want compact, tactical duels. Prior experience with hand management and line-of-sight mechanics is helpful.
How It Works
Each hero uses a unique deck and special abilities (Variable Player Powers), moving miniatures point-to-point across the board (Point to Point Movement) and spending actions to maneuver. Conflicts are resolved via Card Play Conflict Resolution and Hand Management is central: card choice and timing shape fights. Team-Based Game options and the hero/sidekick choice add asymmetrical depth.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Noah Cohen, Rob Daviau, Justin D. Jacobson and Brian Neff, the game stands out for strong asymmetry and character-faithful decks from The Witcher IP. A new map mechanic and the Triss & Yennefer hero/sidekick choice mark notable additions to the Unmatched family.
