The developers recommend the game for those aged over 17, making it the perfect purchase for adult Potter fans. Harry Potter Cards Against Muggles follows the same format as the original game, with cards that allow you to fill in the blank to create a hilarious phrase. You get one card with a Harry Potter related phrase and choose another to fill in the blank. As it’s an adult game, you can expect a few profanities and raised eyebrows throughout your gameplay. You’ll never be able to think of Harry Potter the same way again.
The game rules are easy as Cards Against Humanity, with each player holding ten white cards in their hand. Players take it in turns to be the Card Czar and select a black card. As the Card Czar, they judge the other players on how they use their white cards to fill in the bank. The Card Czar reads out each of the answers to the group. Whoever can provide the best white card to respond to the prompt wins the round.
