About the game

What is Holly Jolly?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Gather your friends and family together around the Christmas tree to collect beautiful ornaments, gifts, and stockings. Cards are arranged in the center of the playing area forming a tree with presents placed below. Players will choose and place either a light or tinsel card onto the tree. Using the point total from all lights or tinsel cards on the tree (of the type just placed) will determine your selection value. That selection value is then used to pick an ornament hanging on the tree or select a present/stocking from beneath the tree. Ornaments and presents/stockings all score points in a variety of ways. —description from the publisher
