Disney’s ‘Gargoyles’ is alive again as a new co-op board game – Review Geek

In the mid-1990s, Disney premiered a new cartoon that influenced animation for decades. Gargoyles presented complex characters that changed and grew during the show, shunning the common practice of ‘reset everything’ at the end of each episode. Unfortunately, while brilliant, the show only lasted three seasons. But now it comes back as a cooperative board game called Gargoyles: The Awakening.

If you are not familiar with it Gargoyles, you can view all three seasons on Disney + now. We̵

7;ll wait. The series plays a group of gargoyles born a thousand years ago in an era of superstition and sorcery. The gargoyles protected a castle until they were betrayed by a friend and frozen as statues for a thousand years. Now the spell has been broken and they are once again living in modern times – only to find a changed world, one where they may be the last of their kind.

Disney and board game company Ravensburg teamed up to create the board game, which is a good sign. The two previously worked together to create the excellent Disney Villainous board game that puts players in the role of evil Disney characters.

Gargoyles: The Awakening, which takes its name from the series’ opening arc, will function as a cooperative game, where players work together to achieve one of several goals. Players take control of Goliath, Brooklyn, Lexington, Broadway, Hudson or NYPD detective Elisa Maza to take on David Xanatos and Demona in one of four scenarios.

Ravensburg says the game will be suitable for two to five players ages 10 and up. You can buy Gargoyles: The Awakening from Target for $ 34.99 when the game comes out August 1.
