Short description

Christmas Eve, and Santa's sleigh is empty. Race three other elves through a mall that's new every run: hook, bounce, zipline and shopping-cart your way to every gift on the kid's list, and get it to Santa before his patience runs out. 1–4 players, couch or online.

About the game

Santa forgot the presents. Again. Now four elves have one night, one very crowded shopping mall and a line of kids who all want something different. Whoever gets the most wishes to Santa's lap wins. A kid climbs onto Santa's lap and whispers a wish list. Two gifts on it are yours alone. The third, the golden one, is the same for everyone, and only one elf can bring it. Players swing across the atrium with a grappling hook, ram rivals with shopping carts, grab gift-box items and dodge shoppers and selfie-hungry superfans. Every mall is generated from a seed, and a run takes you through five of them: a suburban mall, two Toy Run cart races, a bigger mall (city atrium, department store, outlet or food court with an ice rink) and a giant open-air plaza at night. Nearly 50 hats in 12 families each change how you play, with an upside and a catch.
