Description
Quick Description:
A holiday-themed hot-potato-style minigame, but you can only see the safe options, not where the actual 'hot potato' is.
Description:
Everyone has a concealed present and must trade with each other to avoid ending up with a piece of coal! Instead of seeing the coal location, players can only see a random few safe options and thus this means other players likely have very different information on the safe gifts than you, meaning you can trick your opponents and try to decode where the coal gift is based on their gameplay! You play on 3 different holiday-themed maps each with a unique gameplay element!
Features:
- There are 3 maps: Ice Caverns, Winter Festival, and Christmas Mall
- The percentage of visible safe gifts and the round-timer are adjustable!
- A speed ability that you can use to outplay your opponents!
How to Play (as shown in-game):
- There is 1 coal in a gift every round. Avoid this present.
- Safe gifts will sparkle. Try to end with one of these to avoid risks.
- Everyone sees the same number of gifts, but a random assortment of them, so...
- you can trick or learn from opponents who do not share your sparklies.
- Finally, right-click your sugar item for a quick speed boost!
