December 14: Games

As well as toys, Christmas is a time for something even more relevant here...

14: Games
“Let’s play!”

While Christmas doesn’t have specific party games connected to it like Halloween does, it is a time for family get-togethers including such pastimes. Card-playing is listed among traditional activities in the pre-Dickensian Christmas histories.

Geeky families may well give games and try to have a play during the holidays. Non-geeky families may fall out over M*n*p*ly.

Ever swiped a plot from a board or card game setup? A country house murder mystery with colour-coded suspects, perhaps...?

And one of my earliest Christmas-themed RPG sessions started as a board game, Sleigh Wars from White Dwarf issue 72.
