So this is fun! It seems that Funko (of Funko Pop! fame) has created an officially-licensed GREMLINS card game, called GREMLINS: HOLIDAY HAVOC, which will be available September 30th (PRE-ORDER IT HERE)!

Here's the official description:

The Gremlins have gone from cute Christmas-gift pets to mini-monsters causing havoc around town, and you must stop them! Flip over cards to reveal favorite creatures from the classic movie. If you see a match, pounce fast to score. But beware, other players are on the prowl. And whatever you do, don’t get them wet or your chance of losing multiplies!

Fast paced, card-slapping action is frenetic fun for the whole family

Card illustrations feature 10 different Gremlin images plus the iconic Gizmo

Contains 5 location cards inspired by the movie, including Dorry’s Tavern

Game Contents: 50 Gremlin Cards, 5 Gizmo Cards, 4 Multiply Cards, 5 Location Cards, 1 Sunrise Card, Instructions

Game Details: Family Card Game, Ages 8 and up, For 3–5 players, 15-minute gameplay

And here's the synopsis for the original 1984 film:

A gadget salesman is looking for a special gift for his son and finds one at a store in Chinatown. The shopkeeper is reluctant to sell him the `mogwai' but sells it to him with the warning to never expose him to bright light, water, or to feed him after midnight. All of this happens and the result is a gang of gremlins that decide to tear up the town on Christmas Eve.

Meanwhile, you can next see GREMLINS in the animated series GREMLINS: SECRETS OF MOGWAI, which is supposed to premiere sometime next year on HBO Max! Here's the synopsis for that:
