Before reindeer can fly, they must learn when to jump!

REINDEER RACES is a game that is simple enough to be accessible even to the very young. However, don’t be fooled into underestimating its mechanics. Under the guise of a friendly game, savvy players may be secretly plotting, concealing their strategy till the last moment. With a gleam in their eye, they throw down a handful of cards. All of a sudden, their reindeer shoots forward to the goal, leaping over the heads of the other reindeer, leaving the competition behind in a single turn!

Tested and approved by players of all ages and backgrounds!

Everybody knows the reindeer who heroically pull Santa’s sleigh every year on Christmas Eve! Anyone in the world is able to cite Blitzen, Dancer, Prancer, Comet...uh...uh...Vixen, wait...Grumpy, Dopey...uh...Melchior... Well, everybody knows!

And everyone is wondering, “How does Santa go about recruiting such amazing reindeer?” It’s a very simple and closely guarded secret. The answer is in the box!

Every five years, when the aurora borealis lights up the sky, the people of the North organize the "Reindeer Races" to choose the best reindeer. From all around the world, reindeer reunite at the North Pole, hoping to win the races and join the ranks of the elite. Their ultimate goal is to earn the prestige and honor of pulling Santa's sleigh.

The competition is tough, intense, and merciless. To win, each participant must do his best, holding nothing back, in an effort to leap farther and higher than the others. Five treacherous tracks await the brave reindeer, and at the end of each, trophies are awarded to the most daring. Will you be one of them?
