Last week we shared our review of the base game of Horizon Zero Dawn: The Board Game from Steamforged Games.
Since the video game is such a massive, open-world experience, it was clear to see from the outset that there would need to be game expansions to create more hunting encounters for players to go up against even more menacing machines.

“Back in the Game”
That was the bold statement on the winning t-shirt design for SaltCon End of Summer 2021. And it couldn’t have been more appropriate!
It was awesome to be back at SaltCon this past weekend playing game after game for a couple of days straight.

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!
