In a ghostly Christmas time-loop, players vie to predict and win the right number of card battles across past, present, and future to claim the most wreaths.

Gameplay

Bid how many rounds you expect to win, then play cards onto three numbered time slots to compete for those wins once each slot fills. The tension is reading who will end up in control of each slot—and committing early before the order of outcomes becomes clear.
