Synergies
* The Lion King
* The Nightmare Before Christmas
Tips
* Get familiar with which characters and actions can find which characters, so that you can quickly find and play them again and again. Elsa is especially useful to get out early and often.
* It’s okay to send characters to the discard pile, especially Snowgies, since they can be retrieved and even played from there.
* Frozen Port can help you score a base by yourself.
