We have several new and exciting games on our shelves this week!

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle

Description from Publisher:

Taking on the role of Harry Potter and his friends, you will defend Hogwarts from Villains and their Dark Arts in order to save the wizarding world. Harry Potter™, Hermione Granger™, Ron Weasley™ and Neville Longbottom™ are all that stand between Hogwarts and the sinister Death Eaters. Together you will gain Influence to master powerful Spells, recruit Allies, and uncover magical Items. With every turn you and your fellow wizards must defend magical locations including Diagon Alley™, the Chamber of Secrets™, and even the Quidditch™ Pitch from villainous attacks and Dark Arts events.

As you advance through Games 1-7 of Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle, you will reveal progressively more challenging adventures and unlock new secrets on your journey to save Hogwarts from the Dark Lord!

Run For Your Life, Candyman

Description from Publisher:

Yours is an enchanted land made entirely of candy and confections, but underneath that sugar-frosted veneer lies the disturbing truth. The king has betrayed you all. The sweet, candy citizens throughout the land are being packaged and shipped from the castle to voracious children all over the world. But not you. You’re not going out like that. Time to get your candy buttons out of Dodge!

So, it’s every gingerbread man for himself in a mad dash for the border. And if you have to snap a few ginger limbs to save yourself, well…that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
