About this board game

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle – Defence Against the Dark Arts is a competitive deck-building game for two players, designed for a play time of around 60 minutes.

Inspired by Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle, this fast-paced game puts players into practical Defence Against the Dark Arts lessons authorized by Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. With Dark Arts activity on the rise, students must improve their defensive skills while facing an opponent across the table.

Players take turns playing cards, taking actions, and acquiring new cards to build a more powerful deck. As their decks develop, they can use a range of magical tools to challenge their opponent and protect themselves from evil forces.

  • Spells and Hexes: Cast cards to support your strategy and work toward stunning your opponent.
  • Items: Use magical equipment as part of your defensive efforts.
  • Allies: Gain helpful characters to strengthen your position.
  • Deck building: Acquire new cards as your defensive skills improve.

The goal is direct and exciting: stun your opponent three times to win. Under the supervision of Hogwarts teachers, each player must balance card play, actions, and new acquisitions while trying to gain the upper hand in the duel.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle – Defence Against the Dark Arts is a stand-alone game. Although it is inspired by Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle, none of its content is designed to be incorporated into that game.
