Funko Games Expands Summer Release Slate With ‘Scream: The Game’, ‘Star Trek Cryptic’, And More

Share This Post

Ahead of GAMA EXPO, Funko Games unveiled four new board and party games. The tabletop games developer announced today that the new games will include those inspired by popular fandoms, an updated board game classic, and an original pick-up-and-play party game perfect for casual gatherings.

For those looking for the experience that will take them to the next frontier, Star TrekCryptic allows fans to play through missions from the beloved era of Star Trek: The Next Generation. If the latest slasher movie got you in the mood for thrills to last the whole year, Scream The Game is a cooperative party game of survival where the all-to-familiar voice of Ghost Face calls the players! The first-ever English edition of the classic game by acclaimed designer Wolfgang Kramer, Big Boss emerges with a refreshed art-deco and early industrial design aesthetic, while the new Funko Games original NUCK TATS is the next word game obsession with its tattoo-inspired gameplay where only the cleverest will win.

Each game in this diverse lineup hits shelves this June. Below are more details on the upcoming products:

Prepare to boldly go where no one has gone before!

Ages 10+ for 1 or more players

Scream The Game

Big Boss

The Golden Age of Industry has dawned. As skyscrapers—and profits— soar to new heights, now is the time to build your fortune. Launch companies and invest in new industries to earn capital.

NUCK TATS

NUCK TATS are messages tattooed on someone’s knuckles. If it fits, anything goes. Each round, one player reveals a customer—a celebrity, character, mythical creature, whoever—and everyone else writes NUCK TATS for that customer. The best tat wins the round. And if your friends make you laugh, feel free to throw them a tip. It’s that easy!

FM+: ‘The Shape Of Water’ Isn’t Science Fiction, It’s Magical Realism Part One

As our definition of the “uncanny” and “fantastic” have changed,  it’s important, I think, to consider the changes that the world has gone through in the time that the genre has matured, and the new mediums that have sprung up and reacted to the old colonial order. The magical realist mode is not merely post-modern anymore, but is itself beginning to draw on post-modern art for its sources of colonial critique. Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water, I believe, is a perfect representative of an evolved magical realism, one that takes into account new signs and symbols created by post-war pop culture, but that doesn’t stray from the essential critique of colonialism and chauvinism inherent to the genre.
