Step into a joyous festive world where strategic play and humour bring the family together around the board. Rascals The Very Merry Christmas Game invites 2 to 4 players aged 8 and above to race around the board collecting the most coveted present cards, each marked with a star rating that reflects its worth.
But there’s a twist: beware of the mischievous Brussel Sprout cards hidden in the deck. Holding one at the game's end means instant defeat, but a pair secures a surprising victory. Along your journey, landing on various spaces prompts actions like sneaking a peek at opponents’ cards, swapping presents, or pulling a cracker that could change your fortune. For extra festive cheer, players may even be challenged to sing Christmas carols or wear the Christmas crown, though house rules can soften the singing if preferred.
This charming game combines memory, strategy, and seasonal fun in a compact, 30+ minutes playtime experience, perfect for igniting holiday spirit indoors with family or friends.
