An Award-Winning Game of Yuletide Horror
Serve the Claus family during a descent into yuletide bedlam.
The Wassailing mashes together:
-
The Edwardian estate drama of Downton Abbey
-
The atmospheric horror of Mike Flanagan shows
- The festive antics of every Christmas movie you’ve ever seen
Quick to play with wild twists and turns, The Wassailing is a roleplaying game perfect for raucous holiday sessions.
A Harrowing New Holiday Tradition
Take on the roles of mortal servant staff to the immortal Claus family at the dawn of the 20th century … a time of upheaval across the world and, especially, on this wintery estate.
Your assembled staff will leverage its workplace skills to quell the Claus family’s troubles and — perhaps more importantly — keep your jobs.
These are no ordinary troubles though:
-
Santa toys with a dark summoning to hasten his delivery capabilities
- His spouse operates a secret slaughterhouse, packing magical meat
- His brother rekindles an ancient war between humanity and elvendom
- His children vie for prominence, merging their legendary exploits with yuletide myth
The game escalates these scenarios — and more — based on card draws and the staff’s own tribulations and politicking. With this frosty flurry of randomized elements, the game unfolds differently each time you play.
Award Winning Team & Game
