About the game
What you do in a play session
Bundle up and get ready, because the chaos of Here to Slay just got a festive makeover! Here to Sleigh is the holiday-themed expansion that adds an extra layer of spice to your matches, blending the strategy of building your hero party with the surprise (and frustration) of exchanging gifts. If you already enjoy the 'build a team and bash others' vibe, this expansion introduces interesting layers to make the competition even fiercer.
The biggest highlight is the introduction of a brand new win condition. Besides trying to slay monsters or complete your party, you can now focus on gathering Gifts. But be careful: not everything wrapped in a bow is a treat. There are 'Good Gifts', which push you closer to victory, and 'Garbage Gifts', which come with negative effects that can wreck your strategy. The first player to collect three Good Gifts wins the game, adding a frantic race to the tabletop.
Beyond the new victory path, the expansion includes overlay cards for your Party Leaders, giving your cards a festive look, along with new Item, Magic, and Hero cards to diversify your combinations. It's the perfect mix of cuteness and cruelty, where you can hand a beautiful gift to a friend that turns out to be a total disaster. If you own the base game and want to upgrade your experience with more variety and a seasonal theme that works year-round, this pack is the way to go. With over 130 cards in the overall game ecosystem, every session feels unique, especially when the gifts start circulating and players begin sabotaging each other in style.
