Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle

Shuffle the HOGWARTS cards face down and place the top 6 face up in the market; separate and prepare the Location, Dark Arts, and Villain stacks as shown, then give each player their 10-card starting Hero deck, shuffle it, and draw 5 cards (Rulebook pp. 4–5).

No — cards and resources (Attack and Influence) cannot be saved from one turn to the next, so use them during your active Hero turn (Rulebook p. 8).

No — Attack tokens are assigned to Villains to deal damage, and Influence is used only to acquire HOGWARTS cards; they are distinct resources with different uses (Rulebook p. 8).

Reveal the number of Dark Arts events the Location indicates, resolving each event immediately (they may add control tokens, damage Heroes, etc.); if the Dark Arts deck runs out, reshuffle the discard pile to form a new deck (Rulebook p. 6).

Dark Arts events and Villain abilities add Control tokens to the current Location; if the required Control tokens remain at the end of the turn the Villains control that Location (it’s discarded), and the Heroes lose if all Locations are controlled — Heroes win by defeating all Villains (Rulebook pp. 12, 11).

When stunned you cannot lose or gain more Health that turn, you discard any saved tokens, discard half your hand (rounded down, keeping discard effects), add one Villain Control token to the Location, you may still play cards if it’s your turn, and you recover to your maximum Health at the end of the active Hero’s turn (Rulebook p. 13).
