About the game

What you do in a play session

Funkoverse Strategy Game: Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas 100 is a miniature strategy game that captures the dark charm and quirky humor of Burton’s classic. In each session, players pick one of four characters—Jack Skellington, Sally, Oogie Boogie, or Dr. Finkelstein—and command them on a grid board, using action points to move, attack, and unleash special abilities. The standout feature is the cooldown system: the more powerful an ability, the longer it takes to recharge, forcing players to wisely spend their ability tokens. Dice rolling adds a dash of unpredictability, while action points ensure each turn is tactical and full of strategic choices. Designed for 2 to 4 players and lasting between 20 and 60 minutes, it’s a flexible option for quick sessions or longer marathons. Moreover, the set can be combined with other Funkoverse releases, letting fans build custom teams and discover new synergies. In short, if you enjoy tactical battles, detailed miniatures, and a touch of macabre humor, this game offers an engaging, fun experience with enough depth to keep both new and seasoned players hooked. The expansion component is a major draw, allowing the addition of new characters and settings to keep the game fresh and exciting each time.
