From publisher blurb: You better watch out, you better not cry... Once upon a time, the world was at war. The ruthless battles between greedy kings and their armies grew more destructive by the day as they vied for control of newly discovered lands. When one king went looking for reinforcements, he found a group of allies more powerful than any army he had encountered before. They were the mythological beings that were once thought to only exist in fairy tales. In the name of preserving the holidays and seasons they had come to represent, such legends as Santa Claus, Uncle Sam, and Mother Nature joined the fight, lending their aid to any who called upon them. Villages: Holiday Pack includes 12 unique and powerful cards, one for each month of the year. Many of these cards were included as bonus cards in the base game, but now they're all here in one place.
Villages: Holiday Pack 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 Villages: Holiday Pack is 30 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 Villages: Holiday Pack for ages 12 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.
Villages: Holiday Pack belongs to these categories: Fantasy, Expansion for Base-game, and Civilization. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Set Collection.

The credited designers of Villages: Holiday Pack are: Jaron Frost.

The catalogue lists Villages: Holiday Pack as an expansion for Villages. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Villages to use it. Check that your edition of Villages is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
