Overview

In Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle, you and your friends take on the roles of Harry, Hermione, Ron, or Neville, working together to defend Hogwarts from the encroaching forces of Voldemort and his allies. As a cooperative deck-building game, you'll start with a basic deck of cards and gradually acquire new spells, allies, and magical items to strengthen your defenses against increasingly difficult challenges.

Each game represents a year at Hogwarts, and as you progress through the series, new villains and mechanics are introduced, making each session a unique and progressively more complex experience. Coordinate your actions, strategically build your decks, and utilize your characters' unique abilities to overcome the dark forces threatening the wizarding world. The gameplay loop centers around acquiring influence to purchase better cards, using those cards to attack villains and control locations, and mitigating the damage caused by dark arts events.
