From BoardGameGeek
Enjoy the challenge of wrapping Christmas gifts in this polyomino packing roll & write for 1-6 players! There's an assortment of items (marker/dice pairings) that you'll take turns drafting and packing into your 3 gift boxes. Each item's dice number sets its shape, and its marker color tells you what type of item it is. Put together well rounded gifts with a variety of items and score bonuses for delivering preferred types of presents to specific kids! Packing Party: Santa's Helpers and Packing Party: Moving Day share a core ruleset, but are uniquely their own games. Outside of the theme/art, the main gameplay differences are: - 6 distinct polyomino item shapes - Uniquely shaped grids to pack - Different scoring objectives and rewards - Thematic special actions
