About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever wondered what would happen if your favorite pop culture characters settled their scores through strategy and combat? That's the core of the Funkoverse Strategy Game, and in the Harry Potter 101 version, the focus is on tactical wizarding duels. The game pits two players against each other in exciting scenarios where the goal is to score points and claim victory by leveraging each character's unique abilities.

The gameplay loop is straightforward yet strategic: each turn, you select one of your characters and perform two actions. While you have access to basic moves like traversing the grid or challenging your opponent, the real strategy lies in the special abilities. This is where the 'cooldown' system comes into play: the more powerful the ability you trigger, the longer it takes for that ability token to become available again. This means you can't just spam your strongest attacks; you have to manage your tokens wisely to avoid being left wide open.

This specific set is a standalone game featuring Ron Weasley and Draco Malfoy. The beauty of the system is its modularity; you can mix and match these characters with figures from other Funkoverse sets, allowing you to assemble your dream team and experiment with wild synergies to see who truly dominates the battlefield. It's a fast-paced experience, visually stunning thanks to the Funko Pop! miniatures, and perfect for those who want a competitive match without wading through a 50-page rulebook. If you love the Harry Potter vibe and enjoy light tactical combat, this duel is the way to go.
