About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an epic clash in the world of collectibles with Funkoverse Strategy Game! Here, you don't just collect your favorite pop culture characters in Funko Pop! form, but also pit them against each other in tactical, action-packed scenarios. The goal is straightforward: use each character's unique abilities to score points and achieve victory. Each turn presents a strategic decision: you choose one of your warriors and spend your precious action points to move them, challenge opponents, or activate special abilities. Speaking of abilities, Funkoverse introduces a clever 'cooldown' system: the more powerful the ability, the longer you'll have to wait to use it again. This forces players to carefully consider each move and wisely manage their resources. The beauty of Funkoverse lies in its versatility. Each box comes with a set of 2 or 4 characters, a board, cards, and dice, functioning as a complete game on its own. But the real fun begins when you mix and match characters from different sets! Want to see Batman face off against Harry Potter? Or Wonder Woman duel with Jack Sparrow? The possibilities are nearly endless, allowing you to create your own dream teams and discover powerful synergies. With a variety of licensed universes, from DC and Marvel superheroes to characters from classic movies and TV shows, there's a Funkoverse for every fan. The rules are accessible, making it a great entry point for those who enjoy strategy games with miniatures and a collectible twist.
