Dizzle: Christmas is an expansion for Dizzle released in 2023 for 1–5 players, 30–45 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Jamie Sequoyah and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Paper-and-Pencil, and Open Drafting.
In Dizzle: Christmas, players fill their level sheets with dice collected each round. Players take turns selecting dice from the center of the table, and the next die they collect must connect to the others. At the end of a round, players remove the collected dice and cross out those squares. This might sound simple, but of course others will compete for the dice you need.... Can you decorate the Christmas tree (and collect ornaments, candy canes, and presents) to best prepare for Christmas Day? —description from the designer
Dizzle: Christmas supports 1–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Dizzle: Christmas is 30–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Dizzle: Christmas for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Dizzle: Christmas has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
