nana: Christmas Edition is a board game released in 2022 for 2–5 players, 5–15 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by 宮野 華也 (Kaya Miyano) and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Memory, and Deduction.
The classic card game Nana has been introduced to a fantastic Christmas specification. The package card design is Christmas specifications, and includes rules for the Christmas version. This is a new classic card game that will be a hit at Christmas or other parties. What is Nana: This game aims to "put 3 cards of the same number." When your turn is turned, reveal the cards and all three are the same number, then challenge successfully. If a different number is released, it will be a challenge failure. The play method is the same as the "nervous" playing card game, but the feeling of playing is completely different. Neurodepression is a game of flipping the place card, but Nana will reveal someone's hand. In addition, your hand can only be published with the largest number or the smallest number. In that rule, the first person who purchased three challenges wins the game. Basically, you will find 3 identical cards, but you will see many things in the process. For example, if a person's largest number is 8. Numbers are only 1 to 12 so you know that your hand is just a small number. If you have 2 "1" cards in your hand, you may be able to reveal those "people who seem to have a small number." (Of course, it is not necessary...) Nana is the interesting point of being able to enjoy reasoning thoughts even though it is a very simple rule.
nana: Christmas Edition supports 2–5 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 nana: Christmas Edition is 5–15 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 nana: Christmas Edition for ages 6 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.
