About the game
In the Funkoverse Strategy Game, you combine your favorite characters and go head-to-head in exciting game scenarios. Each turn, you select one of your characters and perform two actions. Each character has access to basic actions like moving and challenges as well as several unique abilities that may be performed only by spending ability tokens. Funkoverse uses an innovative “cooldown” system — the more powerful the ability, the longer it will take for the ability token to become available again — so players have to spend their ability tokens wisely. Each character in Funkoverse is unique, so players are encouraged to try out different combinations of characters and items in order to discover their favorite synergies and powerful strategies for the different game scenario. Two characters in one! Includes two character cards with unique abilities so you can play as the faceless Masked Manager, or remove the mask and play as the undercover detective Jun-ho! When playing as the Masked Manager, stay as still as possible to increase the reach of your attacks! As the detective Jun-ho, gather Evidence Tokens to power up your abilities!
