## Description
Quarriors! X‑Mas Promo Cards is a tiny set of three printable creatures that WizKids released as a holiday gift for fans. Each card features a Christmas‑themed ghost (Past, Present, Future) that, when destroyed, scored, or summoned, lets its owner name a die, draw one from the bag, and if the drawn die matches the named one, add it to the active pool. If not, the player may choose to give the die to the left‑hand neighbor or place it in their own used pile, creating a small but interesting negotiation twist. Being Print & Play, you simply print, cut and slip the cards into the standard deck—no extra components beyond the festive artwork. They integrate seamlessly with the base game, expanding the creature pool and adding new risk‑reward moments that affect the pool‑building strategy. Playtime stays around 30 minutes and the complexity remains low (weight 1.7/5), making it ideal for players already familiar with the rules who want a seasonal flavor. While they don’t introduce brand‑new mechanics, the cards inject a "Christmas surprise" element that can swing the tide, especially in 2‑4 player groups that enjoy quick trades and a dash of humor. In short, it’s a cheap, thematic, and easy‑to‑use add‑on, perfect for giving Quarriors! a festive boost without any hassle.
