Five Golden Rings (2011)

""Five Golden Rings" is a "12 Days of Christmas"-themed game in which players select cards from a layout in sets (same rank, "marriages," etc.) with an eye to score the most points. Players must select cards carefully, however, as end-game bonuses are awarded for holding certain cards and each card selected opens up new plays for opposing players: in some cases, marrying a Lord a-Leaping to a Maid a-Milking may be the best play; in others, capturing the Partridge in a Pear Tree may be best. The artwork for this game comes from the "12 Days of Christmas" stamps issued by Christmas Island in 1977. These lovely stamps have been a favorite of philatelists and graphic artists since their issue and add to the theme and flavor of this game. "
