    Create Your Own Family Board Game This Christmas

    Snow Drift Mayhem: A Fast and Frantic Festive LEGO® Board Game!

    Uh-oh! There’s a reindeer rebellion at Santa HQ! For the first time since the carrot shortage of ‘86, Rudolph and the gang are refusing to fly. With bungling penguin substitutes struggling to steer the sleigh, a team of delivery elves has been parachuted down to get those gifts delivered at all costs!

    They’ll have to dodge snowball-slinging rivals, scramble through mountainous snowdrifts and outwit an elf’s worst nightmare… mischievous squirrels. But there’s more than crying kids at stake, for Santa has declared whoever delivers all their presents fastest will be crowned Head Elf come Christmas morning. So grab your friends and family, and get racing!

    Getting started

    It’s time for these elite elves to ski and skate like never before. There’s just one problem… even the toughest little helpers can’t carry more than one present per trip!

    With four gifts to post, every brave elf needs to battle their way to the village four times to claim victory. Each time they reach the houses, they can tick off a gift, gulp down a gumdrop and ski back to the drop zone to load up again!

    Getting set up

    No time to waste! Print out the downloadable game board, grab some bricks to use as counters, place them on the present space and get going before Santa tears his beard out. There’s no need for dice on this mission. You can roll a LEGO® brick instead:

    Santa’s hardened couriers are as resourceful as polar bears, so keep your eyes peeled for handy advantages and hazardous pitfalls! If you land on one, follow the rule:

    Embrace the action by bringing your elf to life with LEGO bricks and a backstory. Maybe you’re a snowboarding stunt elf or an eyepatch-wearing veteran of the North Pole’s candy cane mines!

    Build and play

    Nobody said this assignment would be easy, and there’s perils aplenty. What are they? That’s up to you! Build four wintery obstacles, make up troublesome rules for them and place them on any board space you want. When someone passes, they’ll have to stop and follow its rule! Check out these examples to come up with something extra frosty:

    Play it your way

    Why not turn this quest into a truly unforgettable tale? Build more epic obstacles with even wilder rules and introduce new ones each time you deliver a gift. Why not give your characters special abilities, like re-rolling if you land on the squirrels, or forcing a rival to miss a go when you pass the house? It’s your call!
