As of January 2004, Score Entertainment no longer holds the rights to this intellectual property and hence no further production runs or expansions for the game are planned.

As of 2006, the game continues to have an active player base. Virtual expansions, or "dream cards," are created and approved by a players committee known as the Watchers Council Association. They are also responsible for worldwide player rankings, current rulings, and tournament organization and support.

Game summary

Players compete to be the first to successfully either earn 10 destiny points, or control Sunnydale Park for 6 turns. Destiny points are earned for winning fights and completing challenges, while control of Sunnydale Park is established by being the only player with characters in the park at the end of a turn.

The game is played as a board game of sorts, using a pair of playmats which represent Sunnydale. Individual spots on the playmat represent different locations, while the middle section (shared by the two players) represents the park. Cards are played to these locations and move around between the locations during the various phases of the game.

Play sequence

Turns consist of a number of steps, during which players alternate actions until the step ends. Some steps contain mandatory actions which must be performed during the step. The following are the steps of a full turn:

Prologue Step - Players alternate turns doing one of the following: Putting a challenge into play, playing an event or action card, using an effect from an in-play card, or passing.; Draw Step - Discard any unwanted cards, optionally keeping up to 5 cards. If less than 5 cards remain in a player's hand, the hand is refilled back up to 5 cards.; Refresh Step - Refresh fatigued cards and optionally use any action cards or card effects which can be played during this step.; Movement Step - Players can move a character card to an adjacent location or to Sunnydale Park, or play an action/card effect usable during this step. Non-fatigued characters can continue moving until both players pass.; Resource Step - Players perform a number of possible actions, including placing episodes or characters into play, as well as attaching skills or items to characters.; Conflict Step - Players face challenges or fight the opponent's characters. As with most steps, action cards or card effects playable in this step may also be used.; End Step - The step representing the end of the turn. Certain action cards and card effects can be used at this step, but otherwise there is no further activity.;

At the end of a turn, the day/night card is rotated, indicating that night has fallen or that a new day has begun.
