The most magical night of the year is approaching fast, and Santa Claus still hasn’t decided which sleigh to use for delivering presents around the world. Each player is racing against the clock to build the best sleigh possible, carefully selecting the fastest, strongest, and most dazzling reindeer. But only one sleigh will take flight on Christmas Eve and earn the honor of leading the most anticipated journey of the year. Are you ready to assemble the best team of reindeer?
Rudolph is designed by Gabriel Buendía and Nico Cardona, with illustrations by Benji Santiago, who brings a festive, colorful universe full of charm to the game. The result is a dynamic, accessible experience brimming with Christmas spirit. It’s designed for 2 to 6 players, ages 8 and up. Over ten frantic rounds, players will strategically combine cards to build their sleigh and score the most points to win.
At the beginning of each round, all players simultaneously place a card face down in the center of the table. Once revealed, everyone must quickly choose one of those cards to add to their sleigh. This selection happens without turns, so speed and intuition are key. After choosing, each player places the card in their sleigh, considering the synergies between reindeer types and their position in the lineup. In each round, one card will remain unchosen and will stay in the center for the next round.
After the tenth round, each player adds the Rudolph card to the front of their sleigh and proceeds to the scoring phase. Players compete to have the largest group of each reindeer type. Whoever achieves this earns the corresponding majority card, which grants points at the end of the game. In the case of a tie, no one gets the majority, so planning each move is crucial.
Rudolph is a fast-paced, fun game ideal for all audiences. Its simple rules and lively rhythm make it perfect for family gatherings or as a warm-up before a hearty Christmas dinner. This game is part of the Devir Pocket collection, known for its compact format and affordable price. Perfect as a Secret Santa gift and easy to take anywhere!
