Winter Wonderland

In this magical winter adventure, players embark on a mission together, united by the festive spirit. This is a print and play version of a two-player cooperative boardgame. You can play solo by moving both player meeples but a truly challenging solo mode is also on its way. Included in the attachments, you will find all the printable components. Additionally, you will need standard dice and 8mm wooden markers; all the details can be found inside these rules.

You find yourself wandering in a magical winter wonderland, your primary quest being to discover a way back home. To achieve this, you must find the magical snow globe, which will send you home once you reach the Christmas tree. However, to make this miracle happen, the festive spirit must be elevated, represented essentially by your score in the game. You can achieve this by helping quirky locals with their small challenges.

Your adventure begins in front of the Snowman’s Stand, where you start exploring the neighborhood by placing cards on the game board, gradually uncovering the surroundings. All your actions—moving, finding various objects, transporting Items, and battling against the snow—are carried out by stepping on these cards. The snowfall is constant, sometimes providing assistance, but at other times obstructing your path. As time progresses, the weather worsens, bringing fog and heavy snowdrifts that can block your routes.

Additionally, time behaves differently in this unusual realm, minutes here equates to days in the real world. Thus, you must hurry to complete your mission and return home by Christmas Eve... or so the snowman at the stand claimed. All you can do now is hope he was right.

During the 14 rounds, you place cards on the game area, moving on them to collect and transport Items to specific locations. You must collectively score at least 11 points, find the Snow Globe Item, and together complete a quest with it at the Christmas Tree (one of the Location Cards). Of course, you first need to discover the Christmas Tree.

If both players reach the Christmas Tree, manage to place the Snow Globe on it, and have at least 11 points, you win. However, if any player is stuck in the snow, lost in the fog, if the Snow Globe is destroyed, or if the round token leaves the final position without meeting the victory conditions, you lose.

Enjoy the game! I hope you have as much fun playing as I did creating it. :)
