Unmatched: The Witcher – Steel & Silver – Tactical Witcher Fighting Game

Unmatched: The Witcher – Steel & Silver brings the world of The Witcher into the tactical Unmatched fighting system. Take control of Geralt of Rivia, Ciri or the Ancient Leshen, each with their own unique deck, abilities and fighting style.

Geralt comes prepared with specialist gear cards, Ciri builds her magical power throughout the battle, while the Ancient Leshen commands the forces of the forest and summons wolves to harry opponents.

Designed for 2–3 players, with games taking around 30 minutes, Steel & Silver includes three playable heroes and two Witcher-themed battlefields, including the iconic stronghold of Kaer Morhen.

What Is Unmatched: The Witcher – Steel & Silver?

Unmatched: The Witcher – Steel & Silver is a competitive tactical miniature fighting game set in the world of CD Projekt Red's The Witcher video game series.

Each hero has a completely different deck designed around their abilities and personality. Rather than relying on dice to determine combat, Unmatched uses cards, positioning and tactical decisions to determine the outcome of each encounter.

The set features three playable characters:

• Geralt of Rivia – The White Wolf, equipped with specialised gear for different situations.

• Ciri – A Source whose magical power grows throughout the battle.

• Ancient Leshen – A powerful forest creature able to summon wolves and manipulate the battlefield.

The box also contains two double-sided battlefields, giving you different environments in which to fight.

How to Play

Choose your hero and prepare for battle.

Unmatched gives players two actions each turn, which can be used to manoeuvre, attack or play scheme cards. Movement and positioning are crucial, as your location can determine which attacks and abilities are available.

Combat is resolved using attack and defence cards. Players secretly select cards, then resolve their values and effects, creating opportunities for clever plays and tactical surprises.

Each Witcher character changes the way you approach the game:

• Geralt uses his gear cards to prepare for different threats and situations.

• Ciri builds magical power as the game progresses, becoming increasingly dangerous.

• Ancient Leshen uses the power of the forest and his Wolf sidekicks to pressure opponents.

Your objective is to reduce your opponent's hero to zero health before they defeat yours.

Meet the Heroes

Geralt of Rivia

The legendary White Wolf enters the Unmatched arena with his swords, signs and specialist equipment.

Geralt's unique mechanic revolves around Gear cards. His deck contains 12 gear cards covering different types of equipment, giving him tools to prepare for different situations.

His versatility makes careful hand management particularly important. Knowing which equipment to use — and when — can make the difference between victory and defeat.

Ciri

Ciri's abilities reflect her status as a Source.

Rather than relying solely on her starting capabilities, Ciri can build magical power over the course of the battle. As her power grows, she becomes increasingly formidable.

Her deck rewards players who can survive the early stages of a battle while preparing for a stronger late game.

Ancient Leshen

The Ancient Leshen is a terrifying supernatural creature that draws strength from the forest.

Supported by two Wolf sidekicks, the Leshen can spread pressure across the battlefield and use its unique abilities to harry opponents.

Its play style is very different from Geralt and Ciri, making the three characters feel genuinely distinct.

Main Mechanics

Asymmetric Player Powers – Geralt, Ciri and the Ancient Leshen each have their own deck and strategy.

Card-Driven Combat – Attack and defence cards determine the outcome of battles.

Hand Management – Decide when to spend powerful cards and when to save them.

Tactical Movement – Positioning is essential for both attacking and avoiding danger.

Variable Player Powers – Each hero offers a different strategic experience.

Sidekicks – Geralt has Dandelion, Ciri has Ihuarraquax and the Ancient Leshen commands two Wolves.

Gear – Geralt's specialised equipment cards allow him to prepare for different challenges.

Growing Power – Ciri's Source abilities allow her magical strength to build throughout the game.
