18/12: Reindeer Rivals

Description

The game concept found in the rules: "Your transport firm is approached by Santa Claus as a candidate for a major yearly contract. On Christmas Eve he personally delivers to all households, but he needs others to prepare local depots from which to take the gifts. Right now, these gifts are in the central depot for the country and you must get them to the individual city depots. You will rent reindeer sleighs to transport them. This year you will be competing with other candidate contractors. The one who does the best job will get the contract." Han Heidema gave out specially designed games as Christmas cards; one for every year from 1990 to 1999. This was card #6 and was sent out in 1995. Players take turns renting sleighs and transporting gifts across a map of the US, competing to make the most money before Christmas Day.
