This is what licensed games should be: mechanically solid, genuinely cooperative, and respectful of both the IP and players' intelligence.
The deck-building works, the progressive campaign creates real momentum, and the cooperative structure means families actually work together instead of someone rage-quitting because they landed on Boardwalk with three hotels. It won a Mensa Select for good reason—it's smart without being intimidating.
The sweet spot is families with 9-13 year olds who love Harry Potter and want something with more depth than Uno but less brain-melting complexity than Pandemic Legacy. You'll get a solid 10-15 hours of entertainment through the campaign, and if your kids are into it, there are expansions.
It's not going to revolutionize game night or hold up to 50+ plays, but for what it is—a family-friendly gateway into deck-building with a beloved theme—it absolutely delivers.
