About the game
Who said being a sidekick was easy? In Disney Sidekicks, you and your friends take on the roles of iconic Disney helpers—like Timon and Pumbaa, Tinker Bell, or Lumiére—in a cooperative mission to rescue captured heroes from villains like Scar, Jafar, and Maleficent. The game blends light strategy with charming theme: you’ll explore the board, face challenges, and upgrade unique abilities to reach the castle and defeat the final boss. Each playthrough feels fresh thanks to villains with distinct abilities that demand adaptive tactics. With adorable miniatures and accessible mechanics (like action points and variable powers), it’s perfect for families or Disney fans craving a collaborative adventure packed with nostalgic nods. Time to prove sidekicks can be heroes too!
