About the game
During a school trip to Hogsmeade, you and your wizard friends decide to pay a visit to Honeydukes. After indulging in various treats, the group decides to turn this into a competition – whoever manages to eat the most condies is declared the winner. However, since this is no muggle’s deal, you’ll all need to follow some rules! The game is set in rounds during which each player gets their turn. During their turn, each player must perform one of the following: 1. Buy candy (reveal the top two cards from the deck and take both or either of them and add to your player area. If you choose a single candy card, add the other one to the Reserve Area. If there are already cards in the Reserve Area at this point, you must also take from the reserve any candy cards that match the ones you have drawn from the center of the table and add to your player area.) 2. Eat candy (take the corresponding candy cards from your player area and stack them face down to do that. They are now your Eaten Candy and cannot be taken by another player) You can only take one candy card available in the center of the table if you still don’t have a card of the same type in your Player Area. If you already have both of the candy cards available, that means you are a Sweet Tooth! And now you have to discard all the candy cards in your Player Area that haven’t been eaten yet.
