About the game
Get ready for the ultimate holiday showdown in this double expansion for Holiday Hills! Will you spread festive joy with Santa's generous gifts, or embrace a bit of mischief under Krampus' watchful eye? With new ways to earn Cheer Points - or cause a little chaos - this expansion adds twice the holiday magic (and mayhem) to your Holiday Hills adventure! In this expansion, 1-5 players will choose to play on the Nice or Naughty side of the game board, then select to play Santa's Secret Deliveries or Krampus' Holiday Havoc. In Santa's Secret Deliveries, Ol Saint Nick is dashing from house to house spreading holiday cheer, but can you keep up? Use cookies and milk to catch his attention, load up his sleigh board with dice presents, and score big for helping him complete his midnight mission! In Krampus' Holiday Havoc, Krampus is on the loose stirring up mischief and tempting players to embrace their naughty side! Swap decorations, add coal under trees, or even toss festive adornments into his bonfire - all while racking up Humbug Points that could turn into unexpected rewards! —description from the publisher
