Once upon a time a witch lived alone in her house in the depths of the forest. Her favorite hobby was baking yummy gingerbread; in fact, she loved gingerbread so much that she built her entire house out of it. Unfortunately, she wasn't the only one who loved it! Rude fairy tale characters passing by were eating away her walls, windows, and doors! One day, the witch decided that she'd had enough of them all helping themselves and, paying attention to which types of gingerbread these greedy intruders liked the most, she came up with an idea on how to get rid of them once and for all...

In Gingerbread House, you place domino-like tiles in a 3 by 3 grid, covering symbols that provide you with four different types of gingerbread and special actions. Tiles may also be placed on existing types of tiles, forming a 3D structure in front of you. Covering two of the same symbol is extremely valuable as it provides a bonus gingerbread or action. Victory points are awarded for building the tallest structure, completing orders by discarding sets of gingerbread, as well as being the quickest to achieve certain conditions. In the end, the player with the most victory points wins.

Fun game with a holiday theme

This game has a unique theme, family friendly, but is still crunchy enough for gamers. I like the components, especially the character cards. I think the public objectives can be better, but overall is a good game to keep in your collection.

Fun little tile placement game with fairy tale theme

Gingerbread House is a fun tile placement game. I love the fairy tale theme. You are the witch who built the gingerbread house in Hansel and Gretel. Different rude characters from various fairy tales keep coming and eating your house. Therefore you decide to capture them by luring them with different colours of gingerbread. It's designed by Phil Walker Harding, the designer of Berenpark and uses a similar mechanic where you get items (varieties of gingerbread) by placing a tile to cover up the desired item you want. You get extra point by collecting sets (for example; bad tempered characters you've captured etc.) Recommended.
