Funkatronic Rex - Games & More
For those of you who are not familiar with Funkatronic Rex, we are a friendly local game store located in Phoenix, AZ. However, we are quite unique.
We tend to be the goofy, gregarious, and non-grindy gaming geeks of the community.
With a humble staff of 4 friends, we love our customers dearly and many of them are like family to us. Our social interactions and goal of a warm "Cheers" style vibe has a direct effect on our niche community.
As with any community, we have an abundance of hilarious stories and insight.
Our aim is to bring you in, share the vibe, and bring the love of the Funk to you in our podcast!
We hope you enjoy!

THANK YOU, EVERYONE!

Micheal and Court get some Disney Lorcana lore, the upcoming MARVEL release for Magic the Gathering, dish about the CATAN National Qualifier hosted at Funk, as well as the fun world record attempt of LARGEST TTRPG EVER PLAYED!
MAIN TOPIC:
Games like CATAN, Pandemic, DIXIT, Arkham Horror, and Ticket To Ride, so frequently appear on the shelves of board gamers, along with box art that sports the accolade of winning multiple awards.
These have become “modern classics” in our world and must be for some reason. What makes them and many others “must play”, “must own”, and for an LGS, “must carry”?
Let’s go through a few of the “modern classics”, CATAN, DIXIT, Dominion, & Pandemic. We share our experiences with them, but also comment on their success, reasons for why they’ve stood the test of time, and what newer games might join the ranks of these prodigious games.
