Discover the Magic of Tomten

The Swedish Christmas gnome, known as Tomten, is eager to bring joy and gifts during the holiday season. Though you and your fellow gnomes have a busy schedule filled with many tasks, you’ll also have time for resting and friendly meetings. By planning well, you’ll enjoy a blissful holiday as you and your friends soak in the beautiful tradition of a heart-warming Scandinavian Christmas.

Each turn, place dice onto cards to complete holiday tasks. Collect cards to accelerate your scoring as the end of the season approaches - culminating in an exciting end-game bonus as you win!
