North Pole Nightmare

The gates of hell have broken open, and a nigh-unstoppable army of flesh-eating zombies now walk the earth devouring everyone in their path.

On Christmas Eve.

Meanwhile, at the North Pole, Santa won’t let a little setback like the cannibalistic dead get in the way of his deliveries. And so he sends his elves back into the workshop with the following instructions: “The children are depending on us, now, more than ever. You are expendable, but those presents are not. Do not return empty-handed.”

North Pole Nightmare is a game for 2-4 players who each control a team of elves. These elves must assemble presents and load Santa’s sleigh while an ever-growing swarm of ravenous ghouls close in on them.

Playtime is usually ½ an hour to an hour, depending on the number of players.

North Pole Nightmare is currently complete and thoroughly play-tested. It only lacks art.

Components:
136 cards
16 elf pieces (cardboard heroes style standees)
25 zombie pieces (nickel-sized “Pog”-like tokens, or the zombie figures used by your other games)
16 board tiles, which are assembled into the playing area
A few d6’s
