From BoardGameGeek

With just six nights before Santa's big ride, Krampus, the Christmas trickster, has cast a spell on all of Santa's reindeer! Now they're all dizzy and confused, and they'll never be able to make the trip if Santa's elves can't do something to dispel the mischievous magic. Play as Santa's loyal elves to find the right combination of magical cookies to cure each of the reindeer. Or play as Krampus to try and eat the magic cookies, and ruin Christmas! In this one-versus-many print-and-play game, one player plays as Krampus (often a grown-up, older sibling, or anyone who enjoys a bit of mischief) while the remaining players cooperate as Santa's elves, working together to try and save Christmas! Each elf player places one "worker" per turn onto the action spaces, moving cookies around the Christmas wreath. Line up 3 cookies to cure a reindeer. But when all 6 elves have taken their actions, Krampus zooms around the wreath eating the cookies! The elves only have 6 nights (rounds) to cure all the reindeer, or Krampus will win and Christmas will be ruined! Note, regarding the age range for this game: Players under 8 can play an elf with some help from teammates. -description from the publisher
