Find events near youRosie the Riveter won Restoration Games' open design contest back in 2020, beating hundreds of entries alongside three other winners (Houdini, The Genie, and Shakespeare). While those characters have already appeared in earlier Unmatched sets, Stars and Stripes marks the final chapter of the contest's legacy. Rosie is joined by two contest runners-up, the legendary steel-driving man John Henry and military strategist George Washington, plus the sharpshooting lawman Wyatt Earp. Each character comes with a unique asymmetric deck, keeping with the series' signature style of making every fighter play completely differently.
The set ships with a double-sided board featuring two new battlefields: the White House and the Alamo. Both are fully compatible with every other Unmatched set, so you can pit George Washington against Jurassic Park's raptors or have Rosie face off against Dracula if the mood strikes.

Start organising for freeUnmatched has always had a passionate community of homebrewers creating custom fighters, and Stars and Stripes closes the loop on Restoration Games' most ambitious community project. Rosie's deck was designed by community members and then developed by the Restoration Games team into a tournament-legal fighter. It's a fitting send-off for a contest that proved fans could design at a professional level.
Unmatched: Stars and Stripes arrives at retail on 24 June, perfectly timed for the American Independence Day weekend. The box includes everything two to four players need for a 20- to 40-minute bout, and the straightforward card-driven combat means you can teach it in five minutes.
