Frequently asked questions & House rules

Q&A and FAQ  

We will be updating this section with Q&A received from players 

Q) What do the arrow spaces represent?

You can choose to take either the red path or the grey path to continue the game. This will determine which mini-games you will play on your journey to Santa! 

Q) Getting presents back from MisterMister and moving him?

The only way to get your presents back from MisterMister is to hit him with the Avalanche ball if you land on the Avalanche space. You don’t get them back simply by catching up with him - why not visit the House Rules section for other ideas though! 
If MisterMister lands on an arrow space, the player controlling him should take the path that will most likely lead him to steal the most presents or win the game!

Q) Completing mini-games

If you are struggling to complete a mini-game there are a few things you can do! Maybe you could ask another player for some help in exchange for presents or perhaps a treat. You could also roll the dice to move backwards to an arrow space and take the alternative path to Santa!

House Rules !! (Making up your own rules) 

We actively encourage House Rules (those you can make up yourself to add to the game) - it is a great way to help manage younger players. We think it is a critical part of the game experience that younger players will grow up with the game, learning the more complex rules as they go!
For example. the last page of the rule book suggests moving MisterMister back to the start of the board after stealing. Some of followers have shared these variations that they have played with us:

• When MisterMister catches you, roll a dice to determine the maximum number of presents he can steal!
• If you catch up to MisterMister, you can get your presents back! Again roll a dice to determine how many presents you can recover
