About the Game

A cooperative deck-building game where Harry, Ron, Hermione, or Neville build their decks with spells and allies across seven years at Hogwarts to defeat the forces of evil, unlocking new rules and components as the story progresses.

My Thoughts

7/10

A complete, satisfying deck builder with a theme I genuinely love. Even after months away, a two-minute rules refresher is all it takes to jump back in. The rough edges, no deck thinning, no progress carried between years, and sometimes brutal villain luck, keep it from being perfect, but I enjoy every single play.
