Description
Harry Potter Playing Cards 4in1 is a deck of cards illustrated with scenes from the Harry Potter films that lets you play four different games. The cards are divided into eight families of four, each with its own letter, colour and number, so the same deck works for Happy Families, Pairs, Snap and the Action Game.
How to play Harry Potter Playing Cards 4in1
In Happy Families, you ask the other players for the cards you need to complete a family. If they have the card, they must give it to you, and the player who collects the most families wins. In Pairs, you lay the cards face down and turn over two at a time; matching pairs are yours. In Snap, players take turns placing cards on a shared pile. When two identical cards appear, the first player to call out “Snap” takes the whole pile.
In the Action Game, everyone gets five cards and plays a card that matches the top card of the pile in colour, number or symbol. Action cards give you an extra turn, make the next player draw a card, reverse the direction of play or let you swap your hand with another player. Before playing your last card you must call out “Shuffle”, otherwise you draw two cards.
