In this strategic board game, players choose to either oppose Lord Voldemort’s rise to power or assist his quest for domination. The gameplay involves equipping allies and overcoming enemies while progressing through iconic Harry Potter locations such as Hogsmeade, King’s Cross Station, Diagon Alley, the Quidditch Pitch, and Hagrid’s Hut before reaching the central objective: Hogwarts Castle.
The game includes a custom-illustrated board and nine detailed character figures representing key figures like Harry Potter, Minerva McGonagall, Rubeus Hagrid, Albus Dumbledore, Draco Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix Lestrange, Peter Pettigrew, and Voldemort. The components consist of 1 game board, 9 character cards, 9 sculpted figures, 100 encounter cards, 21 purchase cards, 24 spell cards, 3 Hallows cards, 2 ferret cards, 4 six-sided dice, 6 stat boards, 20 Galleons, 36 fate tokens, and 1 advantage token.
Designed for 2-6 players aged 11 and up, each session lasts approximately 90 minutes or longer.
Things to Keep in MindA primary concern for many users is the game's confusing, vague, or incomplete rulebook and in-game instructions, making it difficult for players to understand, especially without prior experience with the Talisman series. Additionally, some reviews indicate issues with missing, incorrect, or insufficient game components upon arrival. Why You'll Like ItMany players, particularly Harry Potter fans, appreciate the game's thematic integration and the quality of its components, including figurines and cards. The inclusion of double-sided character cards offers good replayability, and the gameplay is considered fun for those who enjoy Talisman-style games, with the added benefit of being playable by two people.
