About this product

Seven adventures. Four brave heroes. One magical battle to save Hogwarts.

Product Description

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle – Cooperative Deck-Building Game invites you and your fellow witches and wizards to defend Hogwarts against the dark forces threatening the wizarding world.

Step into the roles of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley or Neville Longbottom, each with their own starting deck of cards. Work together to strengthen your abilities, overcome dangerous Villains and prevent the forces of evil from taking control of important Locations.

Every turn brings new decisions. Reveal Dark Arts events, face the abilities of powerful Villains and use your cards to gain resources. Spend Influence to acquire new Hogwarts cards, including familiar characters, magical items and spells, or use Attack to defeat the enemies standing in your way.

As you acquire new cards, your deck becomes more powerful, opening up fresh combinations and opportunities to support your fellow Heroes. Careful planning, teamwork and the right cards at the right moment can make all the difference between victory and defeat.

The adventure unfolds across seven successive games, each introducing additional cards, abilities and challenges. Begin with Game 1 to learn the fundamentals, then unlock new content as you progress towards the ultimate confrontation with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

But victory is never guaranteed. While you build your decks and battle Villains, Dark Arts events and enemy abilities threaten your Heroes and the Locations you are trying to protect. Defeat every Villain before they control all the Locations, and Hogwarts is saved. Allow the forces of evil to take over, and your entire team loses.

With its familiar Harry Potter characters, cooperative gameplay and evolving challenges, Hogwarts Battle brings strategy, adventure and the excitement of the wizarding world together around the game table.
