You know Obama Llama, the hilarious card game that unites spitting rhymes and charades? Well, it’s got a new member of the family, and it’s FESTIVE! Put your rhyming trousers on and get ready to guess your way through hundreds of new holiday-charged phrases. One player gets a rhyme to manically charade (take “Santa Claus watching Star Wars”, for example) and the rest have 30 seconds to figure it out - Get it right, get a point. Game play: Pick up a card and look at the three Christmas rhymes on the back. Your job is to get your team to shout out as many of those rhymes as they can in 30 seconds. For the first round, you have to describe the rhymes without using any of the words on the card. For the second round, you'll have to read them a riddle. For the third round, you'll have to act out the rhymes without saying anything at all. The more rhymes your team get right, the closer you'll be to winning
