About the game
It's holiday time at the Miskatonic School for Girls. Experience even more madness with this expansion to the base game. It's been a while since we've last visited the Miskatonic School for Girls, and sadly, insanity has continued to fester in the minds of the students. Despite this, the girls have been keeping their spirits high and with the arrival of the holiday season, even some of the faculty have joined in on the festivities. Holiday Break is an expansion to the deck building game where you build your opponent's deck. Adding Unique Houses and purchasable Abilities (not to mention more faculty, more students, and more madness) the Miskatonic School For Girls will never be the same.
