More or Less: Christmas

1 Question, 2 Options. Which one wins? Christmas Edition.

Everything in this pack is Christmas, and almost nothing in it lands where you expect. A single mince pie beats a plateful of turkey. Santa's village really is further north than Iceland. The Rockefeller tree out-tops one of Britain's largest sculptures for about five weeks a year.

Two things, one question, everybody answers at once. Both numbers arrive together with the line that explains them, so every round ends with somebody saying that cannot be right.

It takes about ten minutes and it works with the whole family in the room.

Questions

Is More or Less: Christmas free to play?

Yes, and there is nothing to buy later. More or Less: Christmas runs in your browser: no download, no app store, no payment.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Open the link and play. It works on a phone, a tablet, a laptop and any television with a browser, and everyone at a table can be on a different kind of device.

Sit down at a public game with people you have never met. The pair appears on every screen at once.

What does “On one device” mean?

Open the pair on a phone, tablet or laptop after dinner. Play on your own, or pass it around. No extra devices, no account.

How many people can play?

1–10 players. Play around one shared screen, or fill a table with up to 10 people — in the same room or live online.

How long does a game take?

About 10 minutes.

Do I need an account?

Only if you want to start a game for other people to join. Playing on one shared screen works without one, and so does joining a game a friend started — you just choose a name.
