Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle

About this board game

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle is a cooperative deck-building game for 2–4 players, with an approximately 60-minute play time, in which Hogwarts students work together to defend the castle from the forces of evil.

Each player takes the role of a student: Harry, Ron, Hermione, or Neville. Every student begins with a personal deck of cards used to acquire resources and develop new ways to face the threats surrounding Hogwarts.

• Gain influence to add iconic characters, spells, and magical items to your deck.
• Use cards that help you regain health or fight against villains.
• Work together to overcome villain attacks and the effects of the Dark Arts.

The villains threaten to gain power while their attacks and the Dark Arts set the players back. Protecting the school requires cooperation, careful use of each student’s growing deck, and a united effort against the forces of evil.

As the game progresses, players strengthen their available cards while trying to keep Hogwarts secure. The goal is shared: defeat all of the villains and consolidate the school’s defenses. Only by working together can the students secure the castle.

Released in 2016, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle combines familiar magical characters, spells, and items with cooperative deck-building gameplay. It offers a team-focused challenge for groups of two to four players who want to defend Hogwarts together.
