This is EPIC
This game is excellent! The cartoon graphics have been so well thought out and are hilarious. The concept behind this game is 'who is better - Santa or Jesus?' The way to decide - who has the most believers at the end of the game - you get believers by completing challenges. I love that you can play it almost straight out of the box - I can't be bothered to spend half the time reading tons of instructions. We played with the whole family (please note we are all adults - the humor is risqué but none of us found it offensive - including a great aunt) and we were howling with laughter. Perfect for Christmas parties, or any time really! If you like your games funny, silly and downright cheeky - this is the game for you!

No thank you
Let me start off by saying the box was damaged when I received it. Furthermore, I really did not like this game. The amount of game cards seems like a lot, but each round uses 2+ cards to explain the challenge and answer. There's one challenge has 8 game cards total. It makes the game a lot shorter than it seems to be. I also want to mention that when you play it again the answers are always the same, so replayability is just not there. The game concept is good, but how they made it isn't. Personally, I would not recommend this game.

    Fitting for Christmas and game rules are simple
    I give this board game a 4/5 stars. Overall, I had a lot of fun playing it the 1st time with 3 other players. The game is designed to be played with anywhere from 4 to 16 players. The reason for a max of 16 is because there are 16 character cards, 8 per team. I also tried playing with 2 total players as well, and it's more difficult but doable. There are exactly 2 teams, Santa team and Jesus team, and as you could have guessed, the goal is to gain the most believers at the end of the game. You can find the instruction video on YouTube or even on the main website written on the instruction card. At first glance prior to watching the instruction video, I did feel a bit overwhelmed with the number of cards and how complex this game may be. As it turns out, the rule of the game is very simple. Each team takes turn grabbing a challenge card, read it aloud to the other team, and have the rival team perform the challenge. This repeats until all cards are read from Game 1, then you can decide to move onto the next Game round. Each player also selects a character to play as and they must call themselves and each other based on their character names, no mistake permitted without consequences. You will also need a timer as well. We used our phone, conveniently. There are 2 down sides with this game. The 1st is replay-ability. Once you have gone through all the cards, you practically will have to re-play the cards, which make challenges more expected and less difficult. There is a strict order of cards to all the Game rounds, so shuffling is not allowed. The second downside is the questions, which may be difficult to answer if you are not Santa/Christmas or Jesus-savvy. However, some challenges do allow you to team up with your team members so be smart about choosing members!

    Party game
    This is an interesting game to play at a party. It would be great for small to medium-sized groups. I have played through 2 of the 4 included games. The problem is once I have played through all 4 games I would know too many answers to play again fairly. It is a good game for people that are competitive. I could see this being a game you play through one Christmas season then pass it to someone else to use next year.

    Fun but alittle too much
    This game would be really fun if you don't take offense to religion and I don't believe its suitable for Kids. We did however play and found it to lighten the mood and brought our family together for a good time! I wouldn't recommend to anyone who's under 13 but is very entertained and easy to play!

    Cute idea but not what I expected
    Card/board games have to try really hard these days to be clever. Everyone is trying to invent the next Cards Against Humanity-esque hit. So I got this game thinking it would be something edgy like that - you hear "Jesus vs Santa" and you're just not sure if it'll be a grown-ups-only shot-taking game or something more tame. In this case, it turned out to be the latter. Furthermore, you don't actually spend the game trying to make other people believe in anything - "believers" are just cards that you earn. First off, when you open the game READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. You do not shuffle the cards - they have to stay in their exact order. That kind of turned me off - isn't the fun of card games to expect the unexpected? So every time you play this it'll generally be the same questions/answers? Everyone gets to be a character for each team, and you have to address each other by those names (Virgin Mary, Papa Elf, etc) or you lose a Believer Card. So that was pretty fun. And then as you go through, you read your cards to each other and you have to solve riddles in order to earn/keep your Believer Cards. Overall it was a cute game - there were some clever riddles and the Santa/Jesus gimmick will draw you in. But the theme of the game seemed to be about as dramatic as it got - the game itself was a little bit of a let-down after that.

    Fun holiday-themed card game
    I specifically got this game to play during a number of my family holiday season events. It took us some time to figure it out (lots of distractions and socializing) so the demo video was helpful for us. It's helpful to have a printed reminder to NOT shuffle the cards within each deck as there are sequential instructions nor to shuffle game decks together given it tends to be the natural instinct for most I think. I'm ever so thankful that each card is labeled with the game and card numbers especially since I shuffled the first deck prior to reading the do not shuffle'. There are time limits set to things so you'll want to have a timer handy; my cellphone timer worked well for this. Lots of laughs playing this; we did need to be careful about what we said about Santa though because we had really young children within earshot. We made it through the first of the four game decks last weekend and plan to dive into the second one this weekend during another family holiday event.

    Only 4 rounds to the game.
    First, this game is for ages 15 & up. Some of the cartoon graphics were a bit raunchy. I had to put it “out of sight” so my 11-year-old didn't see it. There are ONLY four rounds to this game and then you know all the answers so it's really not worth replaying. Especially because the “puzzles” and other things you solve include word searches etc. It wasn't challenging at all. Maybe if your group is drunk it would be more challenging. KEY INFO: The cards must stay in a certain order for each of the 4 games in order to play this otherwise you can't play the game, follow the directions because it won't make sense. I found this out by dropping the 2nd round of cards. So, we moved onto the 3rd game. I didn't realize until later that the cards are numbered on the bottom right. (game 1, card 5 etc.). I wouldn't recommend this game.

    Perfect for adult holiday board game
    It arrived before Christmas! We have a family over for one night and this is going to be perfect. I can't wait to play it with them. I opened the box and looks like we're gonna have a fun and epic night

    Great game for family
    This game looks like so much fun! I went through and read up on it but haven't had the chance to play. We are going to play with my family for Christmas. I love that there are Christian games available and am really excited.
