List of family board games
Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle A Cooperative Deck Building Game
In the game, players take on the role of a Hogwarts student: Harry, Ron, Hermione or Neville, each with their own personal deck of cards that’s used to acquire Resources.
By gaining influence, players add more cards to their deck in the form of iconic characters, spells, and magical items. Other cards allow them to regain health or fight against villains, keeping them from gaining power. The villains set back players with their attacks and dark arts. Only by working together will players be able to defeat all of the villains, securing the castle from the forces of evil.
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle is a fantastic introduction to cooperative games and deck building for new gamers. If there are Harry Potter fans in your family, I highly recommend you give that game a try. My kids are huge Harry Potter fans, and they absolutely love that game. It is one of our best family board games at the moment.
