See If You Can Win The Harry Potter House Cup Competition!

March 3, 2020 by brennon

If you're looking to dive in and pick up another Harry Potter themed board game then how about attempting the House Cup Competition which is dropping from the folks at USAopoly.

This new game has you taking on the House Cup Competition which was the main focus of...erm, maybe just the first book? In the stories, the different Hogwart's Houses would get points for doing a variety of different things that earned the favour of the teachers. In this game, therefore, you'll control iconic characters from each of the Houses like Harry Potter, Cedric Digory, Cho Chang and Draco Malfoy as they wander around the board looking to enhance their skills.

In essence, this becomes a worker placement strategy game where you choose the best place to head during your turn allowing you to gain the most from your actions. The board doesn't look particularly excited but I do like the premise and I could see this being quite fun, especially for diehard Potter fans. I also think that it would be fun to see someone other than Gryffindor win the House Cup.

Are you tempted to give this a go?
