    Description

    Become one of the friendly, hard-working Scandinavian tomten, completing tasks in preparation for St. Knut's day. Players will compete to collect task cards for a mix of instant rewards and engine building by working and resting their way through the holiday season.

    A game takes place on a calendar-themed board beginning on December 1st, culminating on St. Knut's Day on January 13th. Tasks performed will cause resources to be spent, but resting (and some task rewards) can bring those resources back into the ready position. As players collect task cards, they'll build an engine by adding each card's rewards to their train of completion rewards when working, playing, or partying on holidays.

    At the end of the game, players will all join together for St. Knut's Day and score final victory bonuses based on the artwork shown on cards they've collected throughout the game. Each card features a unique illustration by Jenny Nyström, a Swedish painter and illustrator famous for her works featuring the jultomte performing tasks throughout the Christmas season.
