## Description
Get your sleigh ready, because time is running out! In Holiday Hills, you and your dynamic duo of a human and an elf are in a desperate race to decorate Jingle Bell Square before the grand winter festival kicks off. Mayor Holly Daze was counting on you, but procrastination hit hard, and now every single move counts to spread as much cheer as possible!

The gameplay is incredibly smooth: you travel along paths through town, deciding how far to push your luck and using your actions to collect decorations or grab special dice presents. The catch? Your carrying capacity is limited, so you can't just grab everything without a solid plan. As you move, you'll park your sleigh in front of houses to decorate the town and complete specific objectives, such as creating color patterns with dice or assembling perfect Christmas trees.

The game offers a delightful strategic layer with its tree-building system: you'll aim to create festive trees filled with presents and decorations that match to secure high scoring bonuses. To top it off, the board is double-sided! If you want a cozy vibe, play in Nice mode; if you're looking for a bit more spice and competitive tension, Naughty mode is ready to shake things up. It's a race against the clock where managing your movement and resources is the secret to winning the coveted Key to the City. If you love games with enchanting visuals, movement mechanics, and a blend of light yet engaging strategy, Holiday Hills is your next winter destination!
