🎁 Present Delivery [2 Players]
The two roles and what each one does
Table
Every session splits exactly between a sleigh driver and a thrower. The driver steers through snowy trails, icy patches, and surprise obstacles while keeping a speed the thrower can work with. The thrower watches for the correct house and times each toss to land it cleanly. Too many missed deliveries or a crash ends the game for both of you.
| Driver | steers the sleigh and controls speed across snow, ice, and obstacle sections |
| Thrower | identifies the right house and tosses each present at the right moment |
| Shared goal | rack up points by landing presents on correct houses |
| Shared failure | enough misses or a crash means game over for the team |

Driving through snow, ice, and obstacles
CheckIcy patches reduce control more than snowy ground does, so the driver needs to shrink their steering inputs on those sections. Surprise obstacles demand early detection; a callout the moment you see one gives the team time to respond without a sudden swerve that throws off the thrower's aim.
- Use wide, gradual curves rather than sharp turns so the thrower stays on target
- On icy sections, use smaller steering movements to avoid losing control
- Spot obstacles early and adjust your path before you reach them
- Avoid zigzagging straight lines and gentle curves are much easier to throw from
Landing every throw
Step
The thrower's hardest job is picking the right house out of everything on screen while the sleigh is still moving. One well-aimed toss is worth more than several rushed ones.
- Learn the house sequence notice which house comes next as the sleigh moves forward
- Prepare early get into throwing position before the sleigh reaches the target
- Call 'throwing now' a quick callout lets the driver hold a steady line for that moment
- Aim for one clean hit committing to accuracy keeps your miss count low
Diagnosing a bad streak
CheckWhen misses start piling up, stop guessing and run through the three most common causes.
- Is the thrower identifying the right house before throwing, or guessing under pressure?
- Is each throw going out when the sleigh is level with the target, or a beat too early or late?
- Is the sleigh moving faster than the thrower can comfortably aim?
- Are both players acting on the same timing, or slightly out of sync with each other?

Common questions
FAQCan one person play this alone?
No. The game requires exactly two players — one to drive the sleigh and one to throw presents. You need a partner to play.
What happens after the run ends?
When the game ends from too many misses or a crash, you can start a new run and try again.
