About the game
What you do in a play session
The Caroling Challenge is the kind of game we love: practical, thematic, and perfect for gathering friends—or playing solo—during the holiday season. As a Print & Play title, you just need to print the materials and grab a few dice to start the adventure. The premise is super fun: you control a group of children going door-to-door singing Christmas carols. The challenge is to navigate the neighborhood, avoid grumpy neighbors, and complete the song lyrics before time runs out.
The game spans ten rounds. In each round, four dice are rolled, and the results apply to everyone. The trick here is dice management: you decide whether to spend the value to move through the map, sing a part of the song (filling in your sheet), or equip special items that give you a necessary boost, like easing movement or adjusting die values. But it's not all fun and games! At the end of each round, you must place obstacles on your map, representing hurried pedestrians or disruptive animals that block your path. As the game progresses, the neighborhood becomes increasingly difficult to navigate.
There are four different maps, each based on a classic Christmas carol, which provides great replayability. The winner is the player who completes the longest consecutive sequence of notes. And the final masterstroke? The real Caroling Challenge happens at the end: you must sing the carol you completed, but replace every missing word or pause with the word 'dooble'! It’s a guaranteed laugh. It’s a light, fast-paced game (about 15 minutes) that scales incredibly well, playable from 1 to 99 people. If you're looking for something thematic, quick, and with a touch of creativity, this is an excellent choice to bring to the table during Christmas.
