Muggles! Test your knowledge of all things Harry Potter with this hilarious HedBanz party game! The magic begins when players stick cards into their HedBanz, and take turns guessing what’s on their cards by asking “yes” or “no” questions. Since all is not as it seems in the world of Hogwarts, pick up a Potion Token to change everything! Depending on the token, you may have to Act Out, Rhyme or Describe a clue. Guess your card correctly and receive a chocolate frog token! The first player to 5 chocolate frog tokens wins! —description from the publisher
