PLAYED FOR YOU

Cluedo Harry Potter

Student missing at Hogwarts

The classic detection game, revised and with new rules as opposed to the 2008 edition; it has been set again in Harry Potter’s world, with new graphics and redesigned components. A student has disappeared and you must find out who the culprit is and where he did by using which means? As in the first edition a changing board provides genuine Hogwarts feeling, this time it opens and closes doors and lights or extinguishes fires, .

Players embody Harry or one of his friends, the case is determined us always by secretly drawing a card from the categories suspects, locations and items, the remaining Mystery cards are dealt evenly to all players; if there is a rest you place them face up in The Burrow. You roll both dice. The green die either lets you move as many steps as it shows or you can discard 1 pinch of Floo powder per fireplace and use burning fires. Alohomora help cards open closed doors. The black die: For a location you turn the corresponding wheel, doors open and close and fires light up or go out. A star gives you a Help card. A Dark Mark on a wheel or die looses you Floo powder unless you can protect yourself with a Help card. In all locations but The Burrow you can suspect someone; if a player holds a card countermanding this he shows it to you. In The Burrow you can make an accusation, if you name suspect, item and location correctly you win the game.

Still a very hot topic and again a game that fits the topic beautifully providing a real melt of topic and mechanism, the feel of the game has changed somewhat due to using Floo power and fireplaces instead of House Points and Secret Passages.
