About this board game
Rudolph is a fast-paced family card game for 2–6 players, with games lasting around 20 minutes. Across ten frantic rounds, players compete to assemble the best team of reindeer for Santa Claus’s Christmas journey.
At the start of each round, cards are revealed in the center of the table. Everyone must quickly choose one card to add to their sleigh, making speed and intuition essential as players build their teams.
The reindeer you collect can help create powerful combinations based on the qualities Santa needs: speed, strength, and shine. Each decision contributes to the sleigh you will present at the end of the game, so every round is an opportunity to improve your team or shape your final scoring prospects.
- Players: 2–6
- Playing time: about 20 minutes
- Game length: ten rounds
- Core action: quickly choose a revealed card for your sleigh
After the tenth and final round, the Rudolph card leads each sleigh. Reindeer majorities are then distributed, awarding decisive points and determining which player has assembled the strongest team for the anticipated Christmas journey.
Designed by Gabriel Buendía and Nico Cardona, with illustrations by Benji Santiago, Rudolph combines simple rules with a dynamic pace. It is suited to opening a family evening, sharing with friends, or giving as a Secret Santa gift.
With its festive theme and quick choices, Rudolph offers an accessible contest in which players must stay alert from the first reveal to the final majority scoring.
