Unmatched: Jurassic Park – Dr. Sattler vs. T. Rex

A tactical card duel from Jurassic Park: nimble Dr. Sattler against the unstoppable T. rex, with zero luck in combat.

The greatest predator the world has ever known is closing in on the tenacious Dr. Sattler, and nobody knows what to expect. This Unmatched set from 2022 puts two heroes from Jurassic Park into a duel: the massive T. rex, who unleashes fearsome attacks and seems unstoppable, against Dr. Sattler, who uses her surroundings and gets help from Dr. Ian Malcolm and his chaos theory. Each hero has a unique deck designed to evoke their style, movement is tactical and combat has no luck at all. Think of a chess match played with cards, where the two sides couldn't be more different. For exactly two players, about forty minutes.

Who it's for

You and one other person like tactical duels, know Jurassic Park and want a quick, clever fight with very different sides.

Not for you if…

You are more than two players, or you want dice and surprises. Everything here is card play and deliberate positioning.

Vibe's take

Sharp and asymmetrical. The T. rex feels like a charging bruiser, Dr. Sattler like a trickster who survives by using the board, and both seats ask for different thinking.
