Fireside Games is thrilled to announce Ultimatch, an addictive, cooperative card game that hits stores worldwide June 12, 2024.
Ultimatch is an addictive cooperative twist on matching card games that brings new options for making matches. The goal is to remove all the cards from a pyramid by matching them. You make matches by color, number, addition, subtraction, or even mixing colors, but you want to think through the best cards to use now and which ones to save for later. Single matches give you a rush, Ultimatches feel great, and clearing the pyramid feels amazing.
Ultimatch includes both public and private cards and requires the kind of clever decision making about when to use cards that seasoned card players enjoy. Silently trading 1 card facedown with 1 other player keeps all players engaged throughout, introduces a push-your-luck element, and calls on players to read each other. Will you risk trading a card with another player? If so, who is likely to know what you need? Is your card better to keep for later use? The thinking goes quickly as do the turns. Every match is a mini-win, and win or lose, players keep coming back for more.
Ages 10+, 1 to 5 players, 20 minutes, $9.95
Ultimatch is available for preorder and will be demoed at GAMA Expo, Dice Tower West, UK Games Expo, Origins, Gen Con, and more to be announced.
Exciting news! The Ultimatch game from Fireside Games promises to bring fun and entertainment to game nights everywhere. Can’t wait to see what this new release has in store! Thank you for keeping us informed and anticipating the fun ahead
I’ve had this game pre-ordered for months. June is almost ordered and my retailer now shows delivery as Q3…
Sorry…I meant to write that June is almost over and now my retailer now shows Q3 as estimated availability. Not sure why the delay.
Hi William,
Yes, unfortunately, the freight was delayed in customs longer than expected so it arrived behind schedule. The good news is that the game has not only arrived, but it has been received at our warehouse. Orders have been shipping to stores since last week, so your local store should have their copy within another week at most, depending on location. They may have marked it as available in Q3 as June is technically the first month of Q3 and they may not have been sure when they would be receiving the game. Thank you!
