Funko Games details E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial: Light Years From Home game
Funko Games has an E.T. game on the way this summer.
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial: Light Years From Home Game is a cooperative game that re-creates the film’s iconic bicycle chase scene.
Players race around the neighbourhood using ramps and shortcuts to find parts to make a communication device to contact E.T.’s home planet, all while avoiding federal agents.
The game features an illustrated board, components, and miniatures of the kids on their bikes, as well as a miniature E.T. that fits inside the kids’ bicycle baskets.
