Are you ready for another Harry Potter family board game?

We sure are!

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle - Defence Against the Dark Arts may sound like it's an expansion to Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle that we reviewed a few years ago. But it's not.

It's a standalone game that's great on its own merits!

The original game is a cooperative game where players work together to defeat wizarding world villains.

But in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle - Defence Against the Dark Arts, rather than working together, 2 players go head-to-head in a dueling battle!

We’re big Codenames fans.

And we're also big Harry Potter fans.

So mixing Codenames and Harry Potter should be a slam-dunk of fun, right?

The hot new movie out this week is Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. That's why we're excited about reviewing a hot new family board game this week -- Fantastic Beasts: Perilous Pursuit!

In Fantastic Beasts: Perilous Pursuit players work together to capture 5 beasts by rolling special dice. However, if 2 beasts get away or one player loses all their Health, they all lose.

We're big fans of cooperative games for families and we've really enjoyed playing Fantastic Beasts: Perilous Pursuit.

It looks like Avengers Infinity War smashed all global box office records with the biggest opening weekend of any movie with $641 million!

Wow!

While we didn’t see Avengers Infinity War opening weekend, we did the next best thing — we played the about-to-be-released board game, Thanos Rising: Avengers Infinity War!

That’s right, we were lucky enough to get our hot little hands on a copy of Thanos Rising from USAopoly before it’s release to stores and we’re going to tell you all about it!

“It’s a me, Mario!”

I wish we could play the catchy Super Mario music to go along with that phrase for you, but you’ll just have to imagine it yourself. That is, if you’re a Mario fan.

And even if you’re not, there’s a good chance your kids are Mario fans. Mario is one of the most recognizable characters in the world! So it’s not surprising to find board games with a Mario theme.

Today we’re taking a look at Super Mario: Level Up! the board game.

Normally we’d stay clear of various themed versions of popular board games like Clue. However, there are a few instances where we make exceptions. And this is one of those times!

Why? First of all, because our family loves playing Clue. And second, because all the guys in our family are HUGE Legend of Zelda fans!

Clue: The Legend of Zelda is a keeper for us and we're happy to tell you why.

One of our most played games both last year and this year has been Codenames.

Well, I should clarify that last year it was the original Codenames and this year it’s been Codenames: Pictures.

But that’s not all because Czech Games and USAopoly also recently published Codenames: Disney Family Edition!

The big question then is, “is it a good game?”
