In Holiday Hills, players collaborate to transform the Jingle Bell Square into a dazzling winter spectacle, adorning trees with twinkling lights and festive decorations. Mayor Holly Daze has enlisted your help as the Twinkle Taskforce to get the town ready for the Winter Festival, but you've procrastinated until the very last minute! Now, your dynamic duo of a human and elf must work together to add decorations and deliver dice presents in a race to spread the most Cheer! Each turn, players will push their sleigh down either the top or bottom path, collecting dice presents into their sleigh and ultimately delivering them under trees. Park your sleigh on an action space in front of a home to add those decorations into the town square. You may move as far down the street as you like, but there's only one lap around town before your game ends, so make the best use of each move! Throughout the game, players will aim to complete objective cards with decoration patterns and dice color combinations that go under their trees. Take a break at each player's cottage in the corner of the board to draw a new objective card and attempt to score more points. The player who makes it around town and back to their own cottage first will earn bonus cheer points, but other players will have more time on the board to complete objectives. You earn points for having Festive Trees (all 4 spots filled on your tree) and Full Trees (4 dice presents under your Trees. Having the most decorations on a Tree will also score additional points for the highest pipped dice. The player with the most points will earn the Key to the City! The double-sided game board allows players to play both the Nice mode and the Naughty mode, in case you like to have a spicy holiday season. Compete to create the most enchanting display and spread holiday cheer in this delightfully strategic decorating game! -description from the publisher
