Learn the rules in 2 minutes flat — it’s chaos, comedy, and Christmas spirit in one box.
Looking for a game that turns family gatherings and Friendsmas nights into absolute holiday mayhem? Game Against Christmas
is a fast, funny party card game for 2–20 players (ages 16+). You’ll match ridiculous red answer cards to black question cards, compete for laughs, and maybe lose faith in Santa’s judgment.
Here’s how to play.
Basic Rules
Deal the cards. Each player draws ten red answer cards.
Pick the first “Santa’s Naughty Minion.” Whoever most recently pooped starts the game and draws a black question card. (If Grandma’s playing, she goes first. Always.)
Read and answer. The Naughty Minion reads the question aloud. Everyone else picks one red answer card and slides it face-down to them.
Reveal and judge. The Minion shuffles the answers, reads them all, then picks the funniest. Whoever played that card earns one point.
Repeat. Choose a new Santa’s Naughty Minion each round and draw back up to ten red cards.
Remix It
The creators call Game Against Christmas “a game meant to be remixed.” The rulebook includes wild House Rules like Frosty Nose Knows Best and Cupid’s Revenge for extra chaos. You can peek at the full list in the printed instructions inside your box.
