Make Christmas out of mayhem in this fast-paced, simultaneous play dice game inspired by Tim Burton’s holiday classic! Jack’s plan to deliver toys to Christmas Town went haywire after his Halloween Town helpers started throwing gifts at each other instead, resulting in Merry Madness! Join Jack, Sally, Zero, Mayor, and Lock, Shock & Barrel in this all-out game of frightful flinging and be the first one to get the presents in Sandy Claws’s bag to win the game.
This will be the spookiest Christmas ever, and Jack Skellington’s instructions are simple - whack, pound, and glue all the toys together and toss them into Sandy Claws’ Christmas bag! In this game, players race to fling the presents based on the outcome of each dice roll - combinations tell players WHAT item to send flying, HOW MANY of the item to send, and WHERE to send the item. Featuring multiple ways to play for even more mayhem and fun!
Set up and gameplay are easy - in the first variation, place Sandy Claws’ Christmas bag board in the center and each player takes three dice each and a character player board with evenly-distributed and random items placed on top. Gameplay starts and players roll the dice, taking actions based on the roll - once your board is empty, shout “This is Halloween!” to score the round - first player to earn 3 points wins.
In another variation, you must roll the dice and gather Christmas toys from other player boards and Sandy Claws’ Christmas bag to complete sets of toys - each complete set of supplies earns you a point - first player to earn 3 points wins.
Includes: 1 Central board (Sandy Claws’ Christmas bag), 5 Player workbench boards (Zero, Sally, Mayor, Jack, and Lock, Shock, and Barrel), 60 Christmas presents (12 each of 5 items - Zombie Duck, Vampire Teddy, Christmas Wreath, Pumpkin-in-a-box, Snake), 13 Ghoulish Gift scoring tokens, 15 Dice (5 each of 3 dice types), and rules booklet
3-5 Players | Ages 6+ | 10-15 Minute Play Time

Title: So Much Fun!
Review: Ok, I am a sucker for everything Nightmare Before Christmas. I have purchased some mediocre games in the past, but this game is AMAZING! We sat at the kitchen table and had a riot playing it. There are rules to play it 3 different ways, with same basic game play, but different outcomes to win the game. Madness is the perfect word to describe it. All players roll their individual set of dice at the same time and scramble to complete their task before everyone else. We were hooked from the first time we played. Similar to some other dice games where things are passed in different directions, but this is our favorite. Just enough controlled chaos to spark excitement and laughter. And no one can resist a quality Nightmare Before Christmas ítem!The pieces you punch out to play with are of a really good thick quality, and beautifully designed. I wouldn’t change a single thing. Just buy it!

Title: Our Family Loved It
Review: It's hard finding a game that takes about 30 min or less, can be explained and ready to play quickly, and everyone from age 7 to 70 enjoys. This game fit all of those criteria. The pieces are thick card board and seem sturdy, there are 3 or 4 different ways to play depending on the level of challenge you want...which also makes replaying the game fresh and fun when getting board with one way to play. My 7yo love nightmare before 🎄 so got this as a gift we could open and have the family present play right put of the box. Kids and adults all ages enjoyed it. Highly recommend. Later my daughter still pulls this game out to play after-school from time to time.

Title: Love the game but shipping was less than desired
Review: Love the game, easy, quick, and fun. My wife and girls have played it twice so far and it's one were glad we've added to our collection.However the one bad thing I have to say was shipping. The box was damaged but ultimately only 2 pieces were severely bent. Not enough to warrant a replacement of the entire game or refund by any means in my opinion (besides we have already played it a few times...).

Title: Great Quick Game!
Review: Quality: It's great that the "toys" are really thick so they'll last a long time.Play: We have only tried the basic rules with 3 & 4 players (ages 10, 12 & 2 adults). Everyone really enjoyed. It's a nice break from more calculated games in that it's luck of the role. There still is a level of skill evolved when it comes to speed and keeping an eye on everyone's boards - not just your neighbors.I'm tempted to up the choas factor by purchasing another set and play with 10!

Review: Es muy divertido y fácil de entender. Excelente opción como juego activo en su primer modo de juego. En la segunda variante parece que nunca acaba por lo tanto aconsejo agregar cronómetro de 2min. Sin embargo cuando tratamos de jugar la 3ra variante no alcanzaban las piezas Para 4jug. No sé si me faltaba algo o cometimos un error de traducción pero fue complicado jugar la 3ra variante.Lo recomiendo para toda la familia y es un buen incentivo para jugarlo antes o después de jugar juegos mas avanzados y lentos. Aconsejo jugarlo en mesas redondas o hexágonales. Ya que los brazos de los jugadores pueden cruzarse y chocar durante el robo de objetos.
