About the game

What is Fantastic Beasts: Perilous Pursuit?

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.
