Fans of J.K. Rowling will want to take note a new licensed game will be arriving exclusively in Canada and the U.S. this September. Fantastic Beasts: Perilous Pursuit, from USAopoly, will task two to four players to recapture the creatures who have escaped Newt’s suitcase. The game is for ages 8 and up, takes about 45 minutes to play, and will carry an MSRP of $29.95.
Several of Newt Scamander’s magical beasts have escaped and are running loose in New York City.
In Fantastic Beasts: Perilous Pursuit, players take on the role of Newt, Tina, Jacob and Queenie on an exciting adventure as they try to return all the beasts to Newt’s suitcase before they draw the attention of the non-magical community. To do this, they need to collect sets of dice to take actions that allow them to shield each other, draw cards, and most importantly, get the beasts back into his suitcase before havoc ensues.
