The object of the game is to move around the board “tussling” with the other player - Rocketeer’s version of a combat phase - to steal the Rocketeer’s plans from the opponent and earn Finale cards. The board itself is reminiscent of the Disney Villainous game board, with lots of icons to learn and six different zones each character can move between. Each player gets three characters to control, a unique deck of cards, and three figurines to move around the board with. Fate of the Future is a 1v1, semi-asymmetric game of heroes vs. The game itself mirrors the plot of the film as well. From the original art and gold leaf lettering on the box to the retro Los Angeles map and Art Deco-style playing pieces and game board, The Rocketeer absolutely nails the theming. Like all of the Prospero Hall games, the presentation and attention to detail is world-class. I watched the movie as a kid and haven’t thought about it much since then, but the board game brought all of those memories flooding back. Luckily, The Rocketeer is a bit more interesting than unripened cheese. But Funko Games, and in particular its boutique label Prospero Hall, has built so much good will with players by delivering a steady stream of nothing but high-quality board games like The Goonies: Never Say Die, Back To The Future: Back In Time, and Pan Am The Game, that at this point it could publish a game about unripened cheese and I know it would be a modern classic. You don’t get much more niche than The Rocketeer - a ‘30s-era gangster/superhero movie from 1991 that even Disney itself has likely forgotten about - so I can’t imagine that many families are perusing the board game shelves at Target searching for Rocketeer-related goodies. The best thing about playing The Rocketeer: Fate of the Future, Funko Games’ newest two-player board game, is the joy I felt from realizing such a thing even exists. ![]()
