Update + New Holiday PNP's
Added 2021-12-20 19:30:39 +0000 UTCHappy Holidays everyone! We have a few holiday themed PNP's, but first let's go over a few updates. And before that, we want to say welcome and thank you to all of the new patrons and everyone that jumped up to the new $20 role playing level. You are all the best.
We've been working extra hard these past few weeks to catch up on the BGOTMC backlog. I'm happy to say we are nearly there! July and August have completed shipping. September and October are nearly completed as well. We just have the $20 level to send out and we're on it already. Those should be out the door in the next few days. November is not yet ready to ship but it's very close. We are just waiting on a set of rules to arrive. December is also all ordered so we are only waiting on rules and wallets to arrive.
Don't forget to check our weekly status update here and at discord: https://buttonshygames.com/pages/bgotmc-status
I'm sure you're all excited to get a bunch of BGOTMC packages. I know I am because it's been a real challenge to catch up. I'm especially excited for next year; we have so many exciting games for 2022! If you missed our 2022 preview post you can check it out here:

Our new years resolution will be to keep improving the turnaround for BGOTMC!
Now onto our holiday PNP's.
Our first PNP is Yule Tides, a spin off of Tides designed by Mike Berg. In this 1 card microgame 2 players will be collecting ingredients and baking tasty holiday treats! This came together as a single card game challenge on our discord, and turned out to be really fun.
Here is the link for the download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/us0p6agpt4sw242/Yule%20Tides.pdf?dl=0
The next PNP is Trim the Tree, a fan made retheme of Skulls of Sedlec by Marianne Waage. If you are familiar with Skulls of Sedlec then you already know how to play! (Note: There are no rules, so please make sure you study up on Skulls of Sedlec before diving in). Thank you Marianne, we always love to see fan made content!
Heres the link for Trim the Tree:

Fluxx Holiday, 12 Days of Christmas are good. Santa's Bag if for younger players.

2021-12-22 06:07:54 +0000 UTCChameleon worked really well with my non-gaming family. Got everyone involved. If I had it, would also put in Codenames into that one as it is quick, simple, and handles lots of people :)
Aaron Hall
2021-12-22 00:48:37 +0000 UTCSo, work party would have to be In Vino Morte as I work at a winery! Family party would have to be either Kingdomino, or Villainous. My husband loves Kingdomino and we have been a Disney family since I was a kid!
Kimberly Bradish
2021-12-21 16:36:48 +0000 UTCWe’re Doomed! A high player count and a hard 15 minute time limit is perfect for a party.

2021-12-21 09:40:01 +0000 UTCIt’s not particularly seasonal, but my current favorite is Poetry for Neanderthals. It’s silly, all ages, interactive, and fast!
Sara Novak
2021-12-21 09:02:38 +0000 UTCTelestrations is unbelievably fun!

2021-12-21 08:56:54 +0000 UTCEither wingspan or telestrations

2021-12-21 06:05:58 +0000 UTCWell, Trim the Tree, of course! But I also have Trolling For Trouble as well...

2021-12-21 05:41:14 +0000 UTCI would consider Telestrations and Insider, but would likely choose Just One.

Mary Jones
2021-12-21 03:59:52 +0000 UTCIf it's adults only playing, Campy Creatures. It's a simple enough game, fun and quick. I don't recommend it for younger players, only because of the cut-throat of it. For All ages, It's 100% Wizard Kittens. Easy to play, not too long, and has enough gameplay to keep adults interested, too.
Greg Lyon
2021-12-21 03:04:24 +0000 UTCStrike for sure!
Brian Meneses
2021-12-21 02:31:19 +0000 UTCMy go to would be sushi go party. It's adorable, fun and super easy. Although a dice throne mini tournament might be fun too with season 1 and 2 characters.
Kendra Bernard
2021-12-21 02:14:10 +0000 UTCI'd bring Saboteur or Dixit Odyssey, both great 5+ games.
Martín Borda
2021-12-21 01:56:14 +0000 UTCDixit - for a pandemic-sized holiday party; Movie Plotz for larger
Lourdes Tallet
2021-12-21 00:56:03 +0000 UTCIce Dice - easy to learn, lots of people can play if you bring extra pyramids, push your luck

2021-12-20 23:02:02 +0000 UTCIf I'm bringing a game to a party (holiday or otherwise), it is usually a party game. Most of the parties I attend aren't with other gamers, so I need something with wide appeal, easy to teach and understand, and accommodating a lot of players. Warewolf and Secret Hitler are always crowd-pleasers, but Wavelength and Banned Words have been the go-to games lately because it's Team v Team, meaning that any number of players can play. If I'm going for something that isn't a party game, I'm probably bringing Azul (easy to teach/learn) or Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig (plays a lot of players).

Christopher Barnes
2021-12-20 22:48:15 +0000 UTCI love getting people laughing together at holiday gatherings. I would bring Captain Sonar.
Jeff Delbert
2021-12-20 22:35:17 +0000 UTCI actually have taken Qwixx to multiple holiday gatherings, but if the plague ever settles down I plan on taking Just One in the future. We just got it a couple of days ago and my teenage daughter (who will only play games under strong coercion) was asking to keep playing.
Kevin Thomas
2021-12-20 21:58:06 +0000 UTCTaboo is great, as long as the party is unilingual, same goes for Telestrations. With mixed languages, you need to go with something more like In Vino Morte, Pit, or Dudo. I get asked to bring games to parties a lot.
Christopher Hearns
2021-12-20 21:36:01 +0000 UTCConsidering a lot of friends don’t play often, I’d bring In vino morte since it scales well, easy to teach, and quick
Eric Hudson
2021-12-20 21:33:47 +0000 UTCSushi Go is always a hit at parties!
Beth Finn
2021-12-20 21:32:31 +0000 UTCTwo Rooms and a Boom is my go to for company events! Always a hit!
Kyle Sykes
2021-12-20 21:30:57 +0000 UTCAnomia has been my goto for party games. It's a hit with anyone.

Ricky Andrade
2021-12-20 20:45:59 +0000 UTCSecret Hitler or Telestrations
Joseph Farthing
2021-12-20 20:45:18 +0000 UTCJust bought Horrified so will try that with my sister and brother-in-law. Also purchases What Do You Meme? so we will bring that to play with kids and grandparents!

Joanne Brown
2021-12-20 20:25:56 +0000 UTCDepends on who else is there... Something like Risk, Axis & Allies or similar if its a bunch of us old timers. Grand kids and such - then whatever would be age appropriate - from Hi HO CherryO! to Chess!
Terrence M
2021-12-20 20:14:56 +0000 UTCI'm looking forward to try out Concept with a larger group, so that would be it.

2021-12-20 19:58:19 +0000 UTCSince Holidays for us is a gathering of mostly "non-gamer" family, gotta bring a family friendly party game. *Just One* has been a hit in past so will probably bring that one out again this year.
The_Syndicate_1013
2021-12-20 19:57:40 +0000 UTCI bring Resistance: Avalon. I’m always eager to get some plays on. I’ve not been able to do enough games with the same group to explore all the different roles.

2021-12-20 19:51:33 +0000 UTCCockroach Poker
Hank Heyming
2021-12-20 19:45:40 +0000 UTCThe winner for me has always been Monikers. Any player count, no rules prep required, bridges the generation gap and guaranteed to be laughing all night.
