AWESOME!
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.
