rules for play xmas games

When a player ends her move on a Cindy Lou Who Space, she may take any present from the board and keep it.

When the first player reaches Finish, the game is over. Players count the number of presents theyve collected; the player with the most presents wins.

If the players, as a group, have collected 10 or more presents when the first player reaches Finish, theyve stopped the Grinch and helped the Whos have an even merrier Christmas (remember, Christmas doesnt come from a store in the true spirit of Christmas, the Whos will have a day of song and rejoicing, with or without presents!) All players should stand up, hold hands and sing a rousing chorus of Welcome Christmas, Ba hoo Bo ray.

While inventing and developing this game, we came up with two different ways to play the game. As a special present, weve included the rules for the second version below. To play this version, replace Object and Winning the Game with the following:

Once a player has recovered three presents from the Grinch, he can return presents to the Whos. On the turn that he collects his third present, a player turns his presents so that the toys are facing up (this will help the players remember whether they are collecting presents from the Grinch or returning them to the Whos.) Once a player turns his toys face up, he may no longer collect presents from the Grinch when he lands on a Letter Space.
