About the game
Get ready for a movie-worthy adventure! In Toy Story: Obstacles & Adventures, you and your friends aren't just players—you are the iconic toys from Pixar! Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Bo Peep, and Rex join forces in a cooperative mission to overcome hazards and ensure a happily-ever-after ending. If you've ever played something like Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle, you'll feel right at home with the gameplay, but with the unique charm of this beloved universe.

The standout feature here is how the game evolves. It uses an integrated expansion system through six thematic card boxes. This means the game starts in one way and gains new layers as you unlock content from different movies or shorts within the franchise. As you progress, beloved characters like Hamm and Mr. Pricklepants join the fray, while classic antagonists like Sid and Prospector Pete emerge to cause trouble.

Featuring deck-building and resource management mechanics, the challenge lies in working together to overcome escalating obstacles. The game scales beautifully: it starts as a lighthearted activity and can evolve into an epic campaign across multiple sessions as you explore all the available content. It's pure nostalgia on your table, perfect for anyone looking to relive Pixar's magical moments while testing their cooperative skills!
