Christmas Bump Add 2 a game for 2 players
Need: 2 dice and 8 counters per player each player uses a different color
To Play: Players take turns to roll the 2 dice and add the numbers together. Then
they cover this number with one of their counters, covering the large number. If
another player has covered that number, they can bump that counter off and put
one of their own counters on it. If that number is covered by one of the players
own counters, they can add another counter on top and then they have won that
space. You can only bump when there is only one counter on the number. The
winner of the game is the first player to use all 8 of their counters.

Grab a Gift a game for 2-4 players
Need: counters, 2 dice
Players take turns to roll the 2 dice, and find the total or the
difference of these 2 numbers. They then place a counter
over this number on the board. For example, if a player
throws 2 and 6 the player could cover 4 (6-2) or 8 (2+6).
Play continues until one of the gifts is surrounded with a
counter on each of the spaces around it. The player who
places the last counter to grab this gift is the winner.

35 a game for 2-4 players
Each player puts a counter on the Start. Players take turns to roll 2 dice
and add the numbers together. If the total is an odd number the player
moves to the next odd number. If the total is an even number the player moves to the next even number.

they would move to 13 because 4 and 3 make 7 which is odd and 13 is the first odd number. 57
