  • Great gift option for collectors and holiday enthusiasts
  • Standard Monopoly mechanics are easy for existing fans to learn

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the board involves arranging the property deeds and shuffling the two distinct decks of themed cards. Place the 'Decorations' and 'Christmas Spirit' tokens within easy reach for all players. Ensure all pieces are accounted for before starting to maintain the integrity of the game. For maintenance, keep the board stored flat in the original box to prevent warping. Because the game includes small tokens and pieces, ensure that children are supervised during play to prevent choking hazards. After use, store the custom money and cards in provided organizers or small plastic bags to keep them from mixing between game sessions.
