Sleigh Stuffer Bundle

What’s Elves vs Penguins actually like to play?

Santa’s Workshop is overwhelmed, the Penguins have been called in to help, and now everyone is racing to keep toy production moving before Santa’s Sleigh departs!

The goal is simple: complete toys and score the most points. But while you’re building, other players — and a few unpredictable Penguins — can quickly throw your plans into chaos.

BUILD TOYS

Use Toy Piece Cards and Elf Cards to start, expand, and complete toys in the Workshop.

Partial Builds begin with two matching Toy Pieces, and any player can add to them. Missing the piece you need? Elf Cards are wild and can be used as any missing Toy Piece.

BUILD ON OTHER PLAYERS’ TOYS

You aren't limited to your own Partial Builds.

You can add Toy Pieces or Elf Cards to a teammate’s or opponent’s build. Complete a teammate’s toy and your team scores the points. Complete an opponent’s toy and no one scores for it.

So sometimes the best move isn't finishing your own toy — it’s deciding what to do with someone else’s.

SEND IN THE PENGUINS

Penguin Cards are where things can get chaotic.

You might steal a Partial Build from an opponent and immediately complete it yourself, or wreck an opponent’s Partial Build and send all of its cards to the Scrap Heap.

And then there’s the Emperor Penguin...

BEWARE THE EMPEROR PENGUIN

When the Emperor Penguin appears, every Partial Build gets wrecked and sent to the Scrap Heap.

Have something you're close to completing? You might not want to wait too long.

And unlike other Penguin Cards, the Emperor Penguin cannot be blocked.

PROTECT YOUR BUILDS

Block Cards can protect your Partial Builds — or a teammate’s — from Penguin Cards.

That means sometimes holding onto the right card can be just as important as building quickly.

GO HEAD-TO-HEAD, FREE-FOR-ALL, OR TEAM UP

Elves vs Penguins changes depending on how many people are around the table:

2 Players: Head-to-Head
3 Players: Free-for-All
4 Players: 2 vs 2
6 Players: 3 vs 3

With team play, you're not just thinking about your own builds. You can help your teammates complete toys, protect their Partial Builds, and work together to outscore the opposing team.

BUILD. SABOTAGE. SCORE.

Complete toys to earn points. Most games are played over three rounds, and the player or team with the highest total score wins.

Every turn gives you choices:

What should you build?
Should you help your teammate?
Can you finish an opponent’s toy before they score it?
Should you steal it?
Wreck it?
Protect what you've already built?

Just keep toy production moving before the Penguins turn Santa’s Workshop upside down.
