This game, designed for the KCTTS's 2024 Christmas party, is a mashup of a draw-and-discard game and a one-hand trick-taking game. Players compete to win tricks, but they also have to manage their hand, which controls what they score at the end of the game.

The deck is Christmas themed and consists of eight suits (Christmas Trees, Snowmen, Presents, Ornaments, Santa's Hat, Reindeer, Bells, and Stars).

Players start with 5 cards, and before they play into a trick, they will draw 2 and discard 1. The winner of the trick is the person playing the highest of suit led, though the low card in each suit beats the high card.

Players will collect cards from tricks over the course of the game. At the end, they will still have five cards in their hand. They win points for cards won that match the suits of those hand cards, but they lose points for won cards for which they didn't keep a card in hand.
