It's time for another look at a new game! Today I'm checking out Catch the Snitch, an upcoming magical sports game for two players from Knight Games. This is a pre-production copy I was lucky enough to check out early so bear in mind none of these are final components. Thanks to Knight for letting me get an early look!

So I think if neither Seeker had reached the Snitch when they run out of cards, the game should then continue (just like a real game of Quidditch). When a player scores a goal, they get to choose from one of the remaining 2 cards (which is then replaced) and then immediately actives it. It would add more suspense to the game after the Snitch had been revealed. Even if the Snitch was the last card to be flipped over, there still would be 2 remaining cards that could be claimed if the Seekers could not reach the Snitch.

Though it seems Knight Models did learn some lessons from the last HP game release, they still apparently need to learn more. This is a mass-market style game with hobby prices. Very few casual fans will pay this price, and hobby gamers may find it lacking in game play. When you consider the paywall for named characters along with a high funding goal and short campaign.....I predict issues.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Check out the FB fan group for the HP minis game. You'll find rules in the files section for a fanmade Quidditch have that plays More like bloodbowl.

Absolutely. While HP fans are willing to spend $40 on a plastic wand at Disney, this game appeals to a very, very specific fan of HP.

Rules Question: I can’t see in the rule book anywhere that explains what you do after you successfully score a goal to restart play. You get the tempo, goal token and snitch card. But how does the game sequence continue? I don’t think it’s a keepers kickoff because that’s what happens when you fail to score and the keeper gains possession.. Any chance you could point me in the right direction please 😊

Point of contention! Gryffindor should have won. Review the last card played, The leading player plays his card first correct? If so, Slytherin would have moved one space forward. Then, Gryffindor moves 3 spaces forward, and would still be behind for the second part of the card. They would then move an additional 5 spaces forward putting them 3 spaces ahead. Thus causing a Gryffindor victory. Or did I get that wrong?

Not gonna lie, this almost seems like a cool game. But when I first saw it, I was wondering why they didn't just call it "Quiddich". After seeing this video, I know why; it's only about ⅔ of a Quiddich game. Quiddich ends with a points victory, and while catching the Snitch earns your team a ton of points, it isn't necessarily a game-ender. I could see the second phase being added on in addition to the first phase, where you're making tactical choices to score points on the field with the bulk of your team and/or catch the Snitch, back-and-forth on both fronts like that one Star Wars Episode One game ("Queen's Gambit"? The one where all four parts of the Battle of Naboo are going on concurrently), bit seeing it break down to, Phase One is get a few cards, Phase Two is play a few cards is kind of... well... lame. 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for the great video! You did a fantastic job presenting the game!

@WinterXL While that's certainly accurate, I'm pretty sure Rowling didn't need her massive mounds of money to post awful things on social media. The most her celebrity and wealth has done is boost her signal some, and that's pretty much been a detriment for her rather than a boon. Not that I can imagine buying anything related to her work - I read those wretched books for free as part of a job, and regretted the waste of time involved, light as they were.

Oh, it was very difficult for me to watch this let's play video. So many montage cuts, most of them in the middle of a phrases and actions, wild camera movement, looking and reading rules through all video. Author was so in a hurry, wants to make video so short, cuts most of his actions and words, that I didn't keep up with the game at all.
