Designed by Mike Fitzgerald (with co-designers Ian Bach and Richard Yaner), the designer of the Highlights Series (Baseball and Football), this game extends the series to hardwood. The game is a tactical 2-player or solo game in which two basketball teams try to score the most points during the final critical moments of a game: CRUNCH TIME.

In CRUNCH TIME, each coach has a team of 5 players. As the coach, you will use your shot cards to set up your plays in several zones on the basketball court. The more players you have undefended in the proper zones, the more points you will score. If one of your players is in a zone that matches your star card, they can make an astounding shot and score extra points. Score more points than your opposing coach to win the game!

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"
