Funko Games brings Planes, Trains and Automobiles to the tabletop

Funko Games has detailed its latest slate of games, includes titles based on Planes, Trains and Automobiles, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and Mickey’s Christmas Carol.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles, based on the 1987 John Hughes movie, is a two-player co-op game that sees players face dexterity challenges and card-play to overcome grounded planes, icy roads, and burning cars to reach Chicago in time for the holidays.

Elsewhere, the Mickey’s Christmas Carol game sees players work together to build a puzzle scene from the animated film while National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation – complete with Marty Moose tumbler – is a push-your-luck game where players roll dice to rid themselves of holiday troubles.

Funko Games is also bolstering its Something Wild range with a Holiday Baby Groot game and launching a Collector’s Edition of Elf: Journey from the North Pole that comes in an embossed tin.
