Christmas Trees for Sail
1–4 players · 60 min · 8+
Winter, 1904: Christmas settles on the shores of Lake Michigan like snow on a Fraser fir, and with it arrives the glorious Christmas Tree Ship.
Every year, the Christmas Tree Ship sailed North from Chicago to purchase trees from farmers in Michigan and Wisconsin, then returned to sell them in the big city.
In Christmas Trees for Sail, players become holiday mirth merchants, sailing to and fro buying trees, selling them for profit, then using those profits to bring Christmas Cheer to Chicago’s needy children.
Press your luck as you brave the wind and waves, sailing North to find cheaper trees while hoping to avoid the nasty weather. Good luck... and Merry Christmas!
