From BoardGameGeek

A guess/collection game for 2-5 players (elves). 4 tiles (presents) are up for collection at any given time and randomly assigned around a board to spaces labeled one through four. The current player uses a die and secretly rotates the die to match the number a present is assigned to (one through four. Keeping the die hidden, the next player attempts to guess which number the die was turned to (one through four). If the guess is correct the present corresponding to that number is stolen and added to that person's toy chest. If an incorrect guess is made, then the current player who selected the number/present receives it and adds it to their toy chest. The missing tile is replaced, turn order changes and the game continues until there are no tiles left to replace the missing tile. The presents have various ways points are collected and there are also negative point presents (broken toys) as well as tiles that effect game play. The elf with the post points after bonuses and negative points are counted is declared the winner.
