Project Title
Students of Hogwarts
Overview
My friends and I love the game Settlers of Catan and most of them also love Harry Potter. I thought it'd be fun to combine the two into a working board game to play together.
Planning
Since the gameplay would be based on Settlers of Catan, most of my work was in determining what to replace elements with from the Harry Potter universe.
Some things could just be renamed to fit the theme. Other parts required more work and some trial and error to get to where I was happy with them.

Current Status
I made some tweaks to the gameplay after playing it through and I feel like the details for that have all been worked out. Right now I'm working on making better art for the cards and the map.
