About the game
What you do in a play session
In *Disney Gargoyles: Awakening*, you and your friends step into the world of the classic 90s cartoon as one of the iconic Gargoyles or the fearless detective Elisa Maza. The 3D board recreates the Manhattan from the show, and you'll face villains like Xanatos and Demona across four different scenarios — three cooperative and one competitive. Each character has unique abilities, and teamwork is key to protecting the city. The game is a must for fans of the series, but it also works as a fun intro to cooperative games, with simple mechanics and a nostalgic atmosphere. Language dependency is moderate: if you're not fluent in English, you might need translated cards to fully enjoy it.
