Watch “Spirits of Christmas ️ A Board game Overview from the snowy streets of London,” a board game review for Spirits of Christmas on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by BoxedMeeples on YouTube:

Julian bumbles around Christmas in London with Spirits of Christmas from Humble Bard Games. He is exploring the solo mode inbetween taking in the sights and doing some Christmas present shopping for Libby. While the game does play to six, the single player variant adds a Counting House, which replaces the cooperative play you see in the normal game. but alone or with a group you will guide Scrooge through his Past, Present, and Future hoping to save his soul in a true A Christmas Carol manner. Created by John S. Bailey with artwork by Emmie Bailey, the game uses a shilling-driven rondel and sets of Spirit cards to move the story along. The game feels like a celebration of the classic novel with linen-finish cards, solid wooden tokens with lavish artwork thats very inkeeping with the Dickensian theme. As he wanders, Julian talks about how the theme comes through in solo play and why this multiplayer game works so well alone. What is your go to Christmas board game? Do let us know below.

About Spirits of Christmas, from BoardGameGeek:

"You will be haunted," said the Ghost of Jacob Marley, "by Three Spirits." "I-I think I'd rather not," said Scrooge. "Without their visits," said the Ghost, "you cannot hope to shun the path I tread. Expect the first to-morrow, when the bell tolls One." "Couldn't I take 'em all at once, and have it over, Jacob?" hinted Scrooge. "Expect the second on the next night at the same hour. The third upon the next night when the last stroke of Twelve has ceased to vibrate. Look to see me no more; and look that, for your own sake, you remember what has passed between us!" ____________________________________ Spirits of Christmas is a light cooperative strategy game in which players take on the role of the three Spirits of Christmas from the classic novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. You will be taking the old miser Ebenezer Scrooge on a journey through Christmases of the Past, Present, and Future, showing him the consequences of his actions. Hopefully he will change his ways before he runs out of time! Players will move Scrooge through scenes from the classic story, taking actions using a simple rondel. Your goal is to present ten pivotal moments in Scrooge's life to the old miser, playing combinations of Spirit cards (Contentment, Compassion, and Charity) to meet the requirements for each Scene. Each action you take will require Scrooge to spend his precious Shillings. You can only convince him to part with 15 Shillings during each journey this night, and if these run out, everyone loses the game. -description from the publisher
