Blow your flying carpet across the board and collect the presents before anyone else.

Flying carpets, and you move them by blowing. Each turn you puff your carpet across the board towards the presents you need to collect, and the wind rarely does exactly what you intended. Guido Hoffman's artwork is the other half of the appeal, and it won him a Graf Ludo for it.
Who it's for
Families with children from around five who enjoy physical games and don't mind a bit of chaos.
Not for you if…
You want tactics or a game that rewards planning, or anyone at the table is uncomfortable with a game built entirely on blowing across shared components.
Vibe's take
Silly and physical, with genuine skill in judging how hard to puff.
