Reminiscent of classic British pantos, O Christmas Tea is rich in wordplay, comic physicality, and cleverly crafted interactive elements; yet it is James & Jamesyโ€™s boundless imagination and endearing chemistry that provide the real magic and heart of this play.

โ€œThe Christmas season is a magical time of year that brings people of all ages together; a time when we are encouraged to dream big, embrace imagination, and celebrate a childlike excitement for merriment,โ€ explains Alastair Knowles (Jamesy), the eccentric half of the award-winning duo.

Embodying optimism and generosity, Jamesyโ€™s Christmas wish for enough tea to serve the entire world is answered in titanicโ€”nay, Biblical!โ€”proportions.

On the Ninth Day: Asmodee Board Game Bundle

Asmodee Canada is the leading distributor of tabletop games in Canada and is the creator of some of my absolute favourite games. Our board game bundle features Splendor Duel, Ticket to Ride San Francisco, Patchwork, Animal upon Animal, Azul and Catan. 

Splendor Duel is a brand new 2-player game with unique and innovative mechanics. Will you be the one to wear the crown?  Confront your rival guild in a race for victory. Take Gems and Pearl from the common board, and gain royal favors and prestige! Players will recognize some of the Splendor key aspects: the Renaissance jewels theme, high-quality components, and card and token acquisition mechanics, increasing oneโ€™s prestige and purchase opportunities. However, Splendor Duel relies on entirely new rules and offers unique game contents: a common board, Privilege figurines, and Royal Favor cards.

Ticket to Ride San Francisco is a game where souvenirs weigh heavy in your bags as you lean out of the cable car. Sunlight shimmers through the mist that obscures your view of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco is truly the Golden City! In this fast-paced Ticket to Ride, players race one another to visit the most iconic locations of the city, and collect souvenirs along the way. The elegantly simple gameplay of this stand-alone version of Ticket to Ride is ideal for both beginners and seasoned players.

Animal upon Animal is a game where the animals are climbing all over each other to form an ever-taller Christmas pyramid. But which one will make it to the top? The players decide by carefully balancing squirrels, snow bunnies, penguins and reindeer on stars, trees, sleds, and even on top of each other. The first player to place all of their figures safely on the pyramid wins this wobbly Christmas stacking game.

Patchwork – Christmas is a special edition of this now classic game; and this Christmas Edition brings the same great two-player fun in a beautiful Holiday style. In the game, each player works to create a beautiful, Christmas-inspired patchwork quilt out of the available patches, looking to avoid leaving any empty spaces. The most beautiful quilt wins!

In the game Azul, players take turns drafting coloured tiles from suppliers to their player board. Later in the round, players score points based on how theyโ€™ve placed their tiles to decorate the palace. Extra points are scored for specific patterns and completing sets; wasted supplies harm the playerโ€™s score. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Embark on a quest to settle the isle of Catan. Guide your settlers to victory by clever trading and cunning development. Use resource combinations to buy handy development cards and build roads, settlements, and cities. Acquire your resources through trades, cards, or lucky dice. But beware! Someone might cut off your road and you never know when the robber might steal some of your precious gains!

  1. I loved my Labryinth game but also a doll named Tickles who laughed when you tickled her armpits. She also cried when you spanked her, this doll would never be on the market today!
