Games Similo Harry Potter: A Fast-Playing Family Card Game - Guess The Secret Character, 2-8 Players, Ages 8+, 20 min

Great addition to similo.Simple game of deducing characters by providing characters with similar/dissimilar traits.

We play at least a couple times per week. We have 3 decks now and we love mixing them and playing.

I have heard about this game for a while. I am not a big party game kind of person. But the deduction in this game is fun. A lot of group games like this are fun on one of the two sides. In this game, it is fun whether you are giving the clues or guessing. There are some really fun aspects of the group discussion and getting inside of the clue giver's head.The artwork is also AMAZING!Really great game for families too. My 9 year old loves playing this with us.

This is a really fun, and quick little game! The premise is simple to pick up, but the game is one that will test how well you know your characters and the people you are playing with. Our son listened to the Harry Potter books last year with me and so we are both very familiar with the characters but it is so funny to see how different we can see them when forced to play with just five clue cards, what seems obvious to one person is not always so obvious to the other. We get this game out often and it is a very quick one to play a couple rounds before bed since there isn't a lot of set up. The artwork on the cards is amazing and the little character descriptions on the side of each card are great. If you or another player are not very familiar with Harry Potter, this brand has several other Similo options that may work better for your family. We also have the Animals one and really enjoy it as well, and we plan on adding more to our collection. We like the game so much we even got the app to go on my phone so we can play on the go without worrying about losing cards. Definitely worth purchasing!

Great game for any age!

I really enjoy playing Similo with my kids (Ages 6 and 3). My 3 year old struggles somewhat with the rules but is catching on. My 6 year old understands the rules, but sometimes struggles to figure out the similarities that someone else might see between two cards (and then eliminates the secret animal on accident). Regardless, they often get it out in the evening and ask me to play! For us it's really irrelevant whether they find the secret animal or not... They're learning to work together and consider how another person might identify similarities/differences between the cards, which I think is a good exercise for them. They have fun even if they lose and it's one of the few games they play together without fighting.

I bought this mainly for the art and because I’m a huge LOTR fan. It’s a fun, quick card game.
