Unmatched: Stars and Stripes is a board game released in 2026 for 2–4 players, 20–40 minutes per game, and ages 9 and up. It was designed by Rob Daviau, Justin D.

A homage to the folklore and legends of American history, Unmatched: Stars and Stripes features three fighters from the Unmatched design contest. Rosie the Riveter is the final winning entry from the Unmatched deck design contest with John Henry, and George Washington as runners up. A fresh take on the iconic Rosie the Riveter sees her donning a WWII-era mech suit while the steel-driving folk hero, John Henry, swings his mighty hammer as an emblem of the struggle for civil rights and labor. Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, legends of the Wild West, are ready to bring down justice with a quick hand and pre-Presidential spymaster George Washington and the Culper Spy Ring seek to gain the battle advantage. The set features a double-sided board with two new historical battlefields, the White House and the Alamo.
Unmatched: Stars and Stripes supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Unmatched: Stars and Stripes is 20–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Unmatched: Stars and Stripes for ages 9 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
