Setting aside the quality of Teen Titans Go, when Cyborg "borrowed" Green Lantern's ring, his hard-light construct of choice was the Golden Girls. So, I GUESS they exist in DC canon?

Have to admit that the WFT factor of the various characters makes this appealing. I think I'll pick it up and try it out.

This seems similar to Krosmasters. Characters with oversized heads, unique powers, moving around boards of different scenarios knocking each other out. 😉

Thank you! We felt like it could add a lot to the game. There aren't many games available where you can build your own resource pool based on the characters you choose. It also provides some interesting decisions on which abilities to activate and when, depending on how powerful they are and how long that token will be on the cooldown track.

So is this better than unmatched ? I'd be pretty gutted, they seem to scratch pretty much the same itch, but I really dislike the funko pop look (I've got nothing against chibi, but pops are so generic with their identical square heads and lifeless black eyes...)

I'm obviously biased since I was on the Funkoverse team, so I'm not going to say one is better than the other. I will say that while the games both have minis and combat, they are very different in almost every other way. Unmatched is ultimately a combat game entirely, since you win by defeating your opponent, while Funkoverse has differing scenarios that reward other avenues for points. Also, Unmatched is a very "grab-n'-go" type of thing because you simply pick one character, grab their deck, and play. Funkoverse is a squad based game so you are building a team and picking items and such. While they are getting compared a lot, I think there's definitely room for both.

I was looking at it at Target and I not to attracted to it. The models don't need to be that big which I think add to the cost. And I think the cost it's two high. The character feel to simple that I think most games will come down to dice rolls over an overall strategy. To the expansions are also to expensive for a game that seems like your suppose to be collecting characters.

In another video Tom and Sam did that was longer where they were testing some games including Funkoverse one of the companies responsible for the game, Prospero Hall, was in the live chat. Someone asked about the other 2 Golden Girl characters. Prospero Hall's reply was: "Official statement: We're definitely aware there are 2 other Golden Girls and that people would enjoy having the other 2. ;) ;) ;)" So, I would say it is very likely the other two get released later in another 2 pack.

It sounds like each player will simply waste time moving the characters towards each other and then the rest of the game is simply rolling dice over and over (knocking down, standing up, rolling more dice) until someone has the most points. Doesn't sound like it has much strategy at all. Not my thing.

Ken, the scenarios give you other things to do that sort of dissuade you from just clumping up. There are points on the board to go gather, plus a scenario that rewards capturing zones, returning flags, etc. The team on this game loves tactical miniatures games, and while we wanted to make something accessible, I assure you that we put in a lot of strategic choices!

It does not refer to different intellectual properties overlapping or even different "universes" overlapping. It's an alright use of the word since most of us know what he means, but it's definitely not being used "correctly".
