Print & Play Preparation
Print out the four Christmas room tiles and the five Present tokens.
Tip: Glue them onto some cardboard or thick paper to make them sturdier!
Setup
After all steps of the Preparations phase are complete, each player gets a green Christmas room tile that they must immediately place on their hotel board, adjacent to one of their starting rooms. You can ignore the color printed on the Hotel board but you must pay the cost, depending on the row, as normal. If there are less than four players, return the unused Christmas room tiles to the game box.
Shuffle the five Present tokens face down and return one to the game box, without looking at it. Place the remaining four Present tokens in the general supply next to the game board. Finally, turn one Present token face up, revealing its bonus.
Special Christmas Room Rules
When completing a green guest's order, you can choose to move the guest into the Christmas room (instead of a normal blue, red, or yellow room). If you do, you immediately get the bonus points printed on the Christmas room tile (in addition to the victory points from the guest card). Then discard the guest card and turn the Christmas room to the other side.
Now it's time to pick a Present!
You can take the face-up Present token or you can choose one at random, from the remaining face-down Presents. When taking a Present, you immediately receive the printed bonus—it's a Christmas miracle! Remove the chosen Present token from play. If you choose the face-up Present, turn one of the remaining Presents face up so that there is a face-up Present to choose for the other players.
Occupancy bonus: When completing a group containing the Christmas room, only the other rooms in the group count for the occupancy bonus; the Christmas room is green and, thus, neither blue, red, nor yellow. (E.g., if the Christmas room is part of a group of three rooms, you get the occupancy bonus as though it were a group of two rooms.)
The following five present bonuses are available:
- Take two Staff cards, choose one, and discard the other.
- Advance two steps on the Emperor track.
- You get 1 coffee and 1 cake.
- You get 3 krones.
- You get 4 victory points.
Note on the component sheet: the Christmas room tile bonus points are printed as icons on the tile sheet (page 2 of the print-and-play PDF) and are not spelled out in the text. This transcription does not restate those icon values; use the printed Christmas room tiles.
