The Elf on the Shelf Present Pile Up

This is actually the second copy of this game I have purchased because our family plays it so much, I wanted a spare in case. Our elves brought this last year for my girls (8 and 3). There is no reading required and my 3 year old can play it with the rest of the family (it's hard to find games all ages enjoy). We all love it and play it several times a week even when it's not Christmas season.It's for up to 4 players and you are each an elf. You roll the dice and move that many spaces. There are some spaces where you get to Toss one of your 5 presents into the sleigh with the included launcher. Some give 1 chance to get it in (Toss 1), 2 chances (Toss 2) or unlimited chances (Free Toss). Other spaces will have you take another present from another player, put one in the sleigh, or "shelf sitting" at the Cocoa stand or Reindeer Stable. The object of the game is to get rid of your presents first in the sleigh and be the first to roll the exact number needed to hop in the sleigh once you've gotten rid of all your presents.This game is so competitive and fun for all ages! There have been many rounds when you think you're going to win since you got rid of your presents first and then you get stuck at the end by not being able to roll the right number to get in the sleigh and another player sneaks up and rolls the right number, beating you. Lots of laughs and competition. The game board is also really cute and features the elves doing various things. I will say that once you assemble the sleigh, it's large and won't fit back in the box. If you're looking for a fun Christmas elf game for the whole family, look no further, this is a big win in our house. Even their grandparents love playing it.

Fun game for everyone!

We really enjoyed this game. My son's are 8 & 13. We probably played 5 games in a row. It's simple but fun. We would joke & say you have to find the sweet spot to shoot the presents into the sleigh. Great family.

Fun game but the packaging is wrong. They have you taking apart the sleigh every time you play the game.

Bought this for my Grandson ~ he loves it! We played it all summer ~ we didn’t care that it wasn’t Christmas time!
