Called “Episodes” and based on story arcs from the TV series, each one has a different objective and even a different setup. The basic premise of the game is simple: Traverse the board and work as a team to take down the villains or stop their evil plot. Each hero has their own deck of cards and a placard that is used to keep track of their health and special abilities.

Playable by up to 5 players at a time, there are 5 heroes (Goliath, Brooklyn, Lexington, Broadway, Hudson and Elisa Maza) and two villains (Xanatos and Demona) and their minions. Some assembly is required, but when built, the board becomes New York City complete with the Eyrie Building and its rooftop castle.

Inspired by the first season of the Disney Afternoon TV series, the packaging instantly welcomes back fans into 1990’s New York City.

Funnily enough, 25-years later, this new game is recommended for ages 10 and up. The game I played as a child came with a VHS copy of Gargoyles the Movie: The Heroes Awaken, but it was made of thin paper and you had to be in front of a TV because it required the VHS to be playing to experience it. I was 10-years-old when I played my first board game based on Disney’s Gargoyles, but it was quite a bit different than this brand-new one that was just released by Ravensburger, Gargoyles: Awakening.
