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.
