If you're looking for a game that the entire family can enjoy, the
LEGO Hogwarts Board Game is an ideal choice. It is simple enough for
young children to enjoy, but is also deep enough to engage older kids
and even adults.
After the board has been built, players begin by
choosing one of four colored microfigures - one to represent each of
the four Hogwarts Houses. The objective is to collect four items from
four different classrooms. Players win by being the first to return to
their commonroom with all four items intact.
But the game is not
quite as straightforward as it may sound: players must also contend with
all sorts of magical obstacles! Since the game board is fully
customizable, you can strategically rearrange the rooms to throw your
opponents off course. In this way, the game encourages kids to think
creatively, as they develop strategies to slow down their opponents.
With 322 pieces, the Harry Potter Hogwarts game is a brisk and easy
build. Experienced LEGO builders should be able to construct the game
board in 20 minutes. The set also comes with a colorful, step-by-step
instruction manual to assist you in building. Or, if you're not
interested in following the instructions, you can use the pieces to
create your very own customized game board.
