FIELD GUIDE 001 / DEFENDERS OF HOGWARTS
Defenders of Hogwarts Buying & Release Guide
A campaign delivery estimate, a late-pledge listing and a retail release are different things. See what each date or price refers to, then confirm the details with the seller before ordering.

Current buying route
The official campaign points to Hive, whose project page displays late pledging. This is the source of the prices below. DiceIndex does not sell the game, accept payments or handle orders.

Editions & what changes
| Tier | Listed price | Contents at a glance |
|---|---|---|
| Defender | £58 | Base game. |
| Guardian | £115 | Base game, deluxe box sleeve, wooden token upgrade, player pins and protective card sleeves. |
| Collector | £280 | Guardian contents plus a separate Collector’s Box: metal pawns, D.A. upgrades, token bag and signed artist portfolio. |
The base game is included in every tier. Higher tiers add presentation pieces and component upgrades. The Hive page says the campaign’s exclusive art print is no longer included with late pledges.
The FAQ lists a base-game RRP of £75, including UK VAT. Hive’s pledge prices exclude applicable tax, so these are different price bases. We do not calculate a discount between them.
Shipping & taxes
Shipping and applicable sales taxes are additional to the displayed pledge price. The seller calculates them based on the order and delivery location in its pledge manager. We have not verified destination eligibility, duties, final totals or delivery services.
Use the seller’s current terms and checkout details for your own order. A converted price shown by a platform is not a guaranteed final charge in your currency.
