Okay, here we have the game „Harry Potter Hogwarts“
Harry Potter Hogwarts ties in with the book and the movie.
It is launched in September, together with the first party of the new movie, which will be release in November.
There will also be a Lego video game.
with the Harry Potter topic.
You will find many details in the game, you already know from the book and the movies.
Among with other things, the main characters.
e.g. Harry Potter itself as a micro figure.
We have his friends Ron and Hermione.
We have his opponent Draco Malfoy.
We have the headmaster Dumbledore.
Mrs. Norris the cat, so a lot that the
knowing Harry Potter fan will recognize instantly.
The situation is like that: We are in the school for wizardry Hogwarts.
That’s where Harry Potter goes to school.
It’s time for the exams in Hogwarts.
So there are exams and to pass I will have to lern.
I need study material for learning.
Each player...
plays a student in Hogwarts.
colored in the colors oft he houses.
E.g blue. Blue tries to reach each of the four classrooms.
to grab his study material there.
In this case we are in the library.
That’s the book we have to grab.
Grabbing means: We walk into the room, take the study material
And place it in our own house.
The aim of the game
Is to visit all four classrooms, collect the study material, place it in our own house,
And return to the house. In this case Ravenclaw.
The one who does that first, wins the game.
The particular thin about the game is, that the game board changes nearly all the time.
That means: If I move, I always move one step. Always.
I move from one piece of the staircase to the next.
These are moveable staircases as known from the book and the movies.
Before moving forward, I change the game board.
I roll the dice.
And the dice gives me the option to change the game board.
A three for example means I can take out one piece of staircase und move the game board three times.
For my advantage and the disadvantage of my opponents, of course.
I can place the missing piece where I like to.
This side of the dice gives me the possibility to turn a staircase.
That means that I can turn as far as I want to. I still try to get into the next classroom
to pick up the study material.
Then there is the marauder’s map, we know from the book and the movies.
marauder's map
If the situation is like this
for the blue player
I don’t have a direct connection to the next staircase.
and the dice shows this symbol, I am able to reach the next staircase through a secret passage.
That means that I am able to move in this situation, too.
By changing the board game all the time
the game stays exciting to the end.
By moving the game board in three moves, I can really change a lot on the game board.
Everything is very variable.
Right. That’s it.
