nana: Christmas Edition

About this board game

nana: Christmas Edition is a 15-minute card game for 2–5 players about finding three cards with the same number. With Christmas-themed card design and rules for the Christmas version, it brings simple deduction to holiday gatherings and parties.

On your turn, reveal cards to attempt a challenge. If all three revealed cards show the same number, the challenge succeeds; if a different number appears, it fails. The basic play resembles the nervous playing card game, but Nana creates a different kind of tension by having players reveal cards from someone’s hand rather than simply flipping cards from fixed positions.

A key restriction shapes every decision: a hand may be revealed only through its largest number or its smallest number. This gives you useful information while leaving room for uncertainty. If someone’s largest number is 8, for example, you know that their hand also contains smaller numbers, since the game uses numbers from 1 to 12.

• Christmas-themed card design and a Christmas-specific version
• Number-matching challenges based on groups of three identical cards
• Hand deduction using the largest and smallest numbers
• A short, accessible format for 2–5 players

Remembering revealed information can guide your choices. If you hold two cards showing 1, you might suspect that another player who appears to have a small number could hold the third matching card—but that conclusion is never guaranteed. This blend of observation, reasoning, and risk makes Nana: Christmas Edition easy to learn while still offering plenty to think about.

The first player to complete three successful challenges wins. Its compact play time and festive presentation make it suited to Christmas occasions, other parties, or any group looking for a quick deduction game with a simple central rule.
