Toy Story: Obstacles & Adventures

Toy Story: Obstacles & Adventures is a delightful cooperative deck-building game that brings the magic of the beloved Pixar franchise to your tabletop. I was immediately drawn to the game's unique approach of incorporating elements from each Toy Story film and short, expanding the gameplay and adding layers of nostalgia for fans of the series.

The game is simple to learn, with straightforward rules and a clear objective: to overcome hazards and complete the mission before the danger track reaches the end. Each player takes on the role of a beloved Toy Story character, building a deck of cards to combat obstacles and villains. The game features six boxes of cards, each representing a different movie, adding a fun element of progression as you unlock new characters, challenges, and plotlines.

While the game is designed for ages 8+, I found that even younger children can enjoy it with some guidance from an adult. The game's mechanics are engaging and the characters are iconic, making it a fun and rewarding experience for players of all ages. My daughter, who's six, loves playing with me, and the cooperative aspect allows us to work together to achieve a common goal.

I appreciate the game's high-quality components, including the beautifully illustrated cards and the fun metal tokens that represent iconic elements from the movies. However, I did find that the tokens for imagination and play could be a little more substantial. Overall, the game is beautifully produced and feels like a quality product.

If you're a fan of deck-building games or looking for a fun and engaging cooperative experience, Toy Story: Obstacles & Adventures is a must-have. The game's familiar characters, captivating story, and enjoyable gameplay make it a winner for families and friends of all ages.
