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 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:

[The show] will tell the story of how 10-year-old Sam Wing met the young Mogwai called Gizmo. It will be written and executive produced by Tze Chun.
