Great product and delivered on a timely basis.

So fun love this game!

So much fun! In this Harry Potter Themed Co-Op Deck Building Game you choose to play as Harry, Ron, Hermione, or Neville and you all work together to defeat the Death Eaters. The Box comes with 7 different 34;Games34;, one for each book. But each game will be different anyway as you play as different characters and earn different cards. So it could have almost unlimited fun. The first few games start out easy and get much harder as you move through the different books. I have played a few times now and we have only made it to book 3. Can't wait to get all the way to book 7. :)

Annoy people while at restaurants....bring it with you anywhere. Fits in a purse well. Less well in jeans pockets.

Year 5 feels like it was made to be nearly impossible to win. Try it just 2 player if you get stuck. We also may have tweaked the rules a bit and added a Ticket to Ride rule for if there were 3 of the same spell cards in the 34;purchase area34; then we could reset the whole set of cards with new ones. Otherwise it was impossible to play Year 5. Haters can hate, but that's how we were able to make the game fun again for our family. Otherwise, we love the challenge of this game and find a lot of replayability.

So far we've only played 2 of the 7 games included (each game includes extra cards, mostly to be mixed with the cards of the previous game), but this has already been great fun. I feel like setup (especially first-time) is a little tedious and the cards come in an insane number of small bags (this is to help you sort them for the first game at least, so, don't do what I did and just shuffle them all together or you'll have to sort them out by hand). There are probably 10 different subsets of cards (they are all labeled, just takes a bit of getting used to). Once you get rolling, the gameplay is fairly quick. You'll probably want to play more than one round, though, so you can take advantage of being already set up. Being a co-op game it's great for kids, everybody gets to be on the same side and the 34;forces of darkness34; are symbolized by a few villain character-cards and some nasty spell cards. So far the game seems very true to the movies (no spoilers). My daughter is very into the lore and pointed out that, even though there are 7 games (supposedly following the 7 books) some characters who don't make it through the first book will still be in play in game 2. She also noticed that some of the photos for the game 2 cards are taken from later movies. This didn't harm the gameplay at all, and didn't upset her much, just required a tad more suspension of disbelief. The bad guys damage the heroes and take over locations (cards with nice screengrabs from the movies) through spells that they cast each turn (also cards with movie-quality pictures). The heroes (the 2-4 players) play Harry, Hermione, Ron, or Neville. Players track health using cardboard tokens on a track, and the villains track their control of the locations using small but fairly hefty metal tokens. Players build abilities by purchasing spell and item cards with cardboard 34;influence34; tokens. Almost all the characters from the movies are in the game, all as photos of the original actors, so, everyone can be righteously on guard when, say, Lucius Malfoy's card turns up, or happy when Trevor or Crookshanks dispatches a foe. Another big part of the fun is imagining yourself casting spells. There are lots of fun ones (although, for some reason, the game is chock full of comparatively unexciting Alohomora (unlocking) spells). If you or your kids aren't into the books or movies, then the game will seem less fun. Also, the villains use the same 34;dark mark34; skull symbols as shown in the movie and a certain dude-who-must-not-be-named is pictured in full bad-guy makeup, so if your kids are young enough to be scared by that, you might want to wait on getting this game. (For that matter, the metal tokens are easy to swallow and the game is all about magic spells (some of which wound characters, though there are no graphics of this), so there are plenty of reasons to keep young kids at a safe distance.) The look and feel of all the cards is great. I wish the tokens were all metal, stone, or a nice plastic, and I wish the few which are metal were of a more interesting shape, but those are very minor gripes. All-in-all, its a great game for game night with your Harry Potter fans.

It's an exceptional game that anyone who is a fan of Harry Potter and board games will love.

Yes the first 2 levels are warmups. Game 3 is doable. Game 4 has kicked our butts again!! But nobody cares as we win and lose together. It’s bit hard to learn but lots of strategy must be used cooperatively if you’re gonna win. I have 2 teenager boys who like playing this with their parents. Great stuff.

Love love love this game! Hours and hours of fun. We played the seven games with friends and it easily took us over twelve hours. The game plays different every time so it’s a game that can easily replayed repeatedly. Highly recommended, especially if you love Harry Potter.
