In the video, Anne from Game Like Mother provides a comprehensive guide on how to play the game "Catch the Golden Snitch," which is inspired by elements from Harry Potter and suitable for players aged eight and up. The game is designed for three to four players and typically lasts five to fifteen minutes. The main goal is to accumulate points by collecting sets of cards, with special points awarded for catching the titular golden snitch, which also concludes the game.
The setup involves each player receiving 12 cards, drawing five as their starting hand, and managing draw and discard piles strategically. Players draw and play cards simultaneously and can hold a maximum of five cards at any time. Cards have specific roles such as chasers, beaters, and seekers, each affecting the game differently. For example, chasers can steal sets of cards from opponents, while beaters can use bludgers to disrupt other players' progress.
A key highlight is the golden snitch, which appears randomly and grants significant bonus points to the player who catches it first. This game, combining strategic and chaotic elements, is recommended for Harry Potter enthusiasts and serves as a fun alternative to games like "Throw Throw Burrito."

In this part of the video, Anne from Game Like Mother explains how to play the game “Catch the Golden Snitch.” The game is suitable for players aged eight and up, accommodates three to four players, and takes about five to fifteen minutes to play. The main objective is to accumulate the most points by collecting sets of cards. Players get 10 points for each set of three cards with the number three and 15 points for catching the golden snitch, which also ends the game. Additionally, players can earn extra points for pairs of seeker cards.
The game setup involves dealing 12 cards to each player, who then draw five cards as their starting hand. The remaining cards form two stacks on either side of the central box. Players may only hold a maximum of five cards at a time. Discarded cards are placed next to the next player’s draw pile, and when this pile is depleted, it gets replaced by the discard pile. If no draw pile exists, players draw from the center stacks.
Anne describes the simultaneous nature of gameplay, where all players draw and play cards at the same time. The number on each card indicates how many of that card type must be collected to play it down. One-card types, known as keepers, give the player the quaffle and protect them from having cards stolen until another player lays down a keeper card. Sets of three cards are worth 10 points and allow players to draw back up to five cards. The video goes on to describe action cards, specifically seeker cards.

In this segment, the video explains the rules and mechanics of a game called “Catch the Golden Snitch.” The game involves multiple elements inspired by Harry Potter, such as chasers, beaters, bludgers, and the golden snitch. Chasers can steal sets from other players if they have two, provided the other player does not have the quaffle. Beaters, when paired, allow obtaining and using a bludger to disrupt other players’ progress. The bludger must be thrown at another player, and if successful, forces that player to discard their cards. The game continues until the golden snitch appears after a random number of button presses. The first player to catch the snitch gets bonus points, contributing to the final score. The game is described as a fun alternative to “Throw Throw Burrito” and is recommended for Harry Potter fans.
