Thank you for taking the time to review the game, Zee. So glad to hear you enjoyed it. Appreciate the support. -chad

[@JohnBrown-wk4io]

So this has already been released?

[@25thCenturyGames]

@@JohnBrown-wk4io Not to retail yet. Sadly, we are still trying to get the game out of China and here stateside. We had advance copies Fed Ex'd over for Gen Con and Origins.

@@25thCenturyGames 😞 hopefully it gets here before the holidays. This game looks like a ton of fun.

[@briancornelius3182]

@@25thCenturyGames would love an update here if a stateside release date gets narrowed down.

This looks great! I love to see a new Christmas game which isn't just a re-theming!

[@smiller8138]

We picked this up at Gen Con after Zee said he was interested in it - we love the theme and speed of play.

[@ekconley6429]

This looks cute! Scrolling through an online retailer, I saw it, noticed it was a Pinchback and Riddle game and the low price caught my eye, had to check it out! Reminiscent of mechanisms from their games Piepmatz and Stellar. This might just be what tips me over the edge to pull the trigger on an order online!

I love the retro artwork in this game. I just made a list of all the games I have that would be good to play at Halloween and for Christmas and I noticed the Christmas list was lacking, so I'll definitely be picking this one up to add to it.

What else is on your Christmas list? The only Christmas games I have are the Christmas Patchwork and the winter theme of Welcome To...

Most of them are just little card games.

@@labyfan1313 isn't gingerbread house about luring fairy tale characters into your house to eat them?

[@labyfan1313]

@@grog3514 True I guess it doesn't fit but building gingerbread houses at Christmas was always a big deal in our family. Mom would always make a professional one for display that we weren't allowed to touch and my sister and I would team up with our friends and have a gingerbread house building competition. So I always just think of Christmas when I see them.

Just finished my first game. Quick, cute, fun! I like the nostalgic art, reminds me of all those toys and images of toys I used to see in books and rooms at my grand-parents' back in the 80s!

[@MrJmarzetti]

It looks so cool. I might just have get this as a holiday tradition game.

[@eVanDiesel]

This looks neat, I kinda want it!

[@legendsoftoday]

This is adorable 🤩

[@EfrainRiveraJunior]

Nice.
