The game
It's almost Christmas and the elves don't have all the presents together yet.
That's why They meet on a wintery day to compete for the most gifts.
Who will be the first elf to collect a certain number of gifts? < /p>
Or maybe you're just very lucky and can decide the victory for yourself.
So off to the Secret Santa workshop and get to the presents.

Gameplay
On your turn you have 2 possible actions:
- Roll the dice
- Value
Rolling dice
You take up to 4 dice of a color of your choice and roll the dice exactly 1x.
Then you select ALL dice with a value, you place them on your board according to the following rules
- only dice with an identical value may be placed per roll.
- each die must be placed in the row with the color shown
- the dice are always placed from left to right without gaps
- the values of the placed dice must always be higher than the dice already on display
Stealing
Whenever you place dice on your tableau, you may steal a completely identical die (color & number) from any other player.
This only works if the cube is on the far right in the row.
You can only steal 1 dice from each player per turn, even if there are several dice with the same value in the row.
You add stolen dice to the other selected dice in your own row.
Tough luck:
It can happen that you cannot put down a dice in your roll because no value is higher than the dice already on display Color. In this case you have to put down ALL the dice of the color you rolled and you also have to put down all the other dice that are to the right of the white line on your board.
Then you are out of luck!
Bonus fields:
When you place a die on a bonus field , you will immediately receive the respective one Bonus promotion. If you can occupy two bonus spaces by rolling a dice and, if necessary, by stealing, you can carry out the bonus actions in any order.
You After your turn ends, you have an extra turn. So you can roll the dice again – even with a different dice color – or “value” (see below).
You immediately take 1 or 2 gifts from the general supply in the middle of the table.
You may immediately steal 1 face-down gift from a player of your choice. If no player has a gift, you take 1 gift from the middle of the table.
You may immediately steal 1 face-down gift from each player.
Value
Instead of rolling the dice, you can also value.
For each completely filled column, under which 1 gift is shown is, get You get a gift from the supply and
For every cube that is to the right of the white line, you also get a gift from the supply.
< div class="clear">Then all dice are discarded.
