The game involves Santa flying with his reindeer and delivering presents to chimneys so I'm looking for something like "Santa Sleigh Ride". Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

More details please

Perhaps you could share a bit more information regarding the game. What are some of the key mechanics? Is there a primary activity that people will be engaged in throughout the game? What is the object of the game?

Players will be drafting

Players will be drafting cards and playing them in front of them to form a grid of connections. The cards will have pathways on them that represent where the sleigh travels and destination cards that have pictures of chimneys. Does that help? Thanks.

Gotcha

It does help. How about these:

- "Steering Santa"
- "Chimney Dropper"
- "The Elf that Saved Christmas" (Game story would explain that Elves are doing the navigation to help Santa. Maybe he had too much eggnog?)
- "Elven Steering" (Same storyline as above)
- "Up On The Housetop"
- "Operation: Christmas Delivery" (Have elves with cammo and then maybe some malicious garden gnomes that try and block you)

Actually, I rather like the idea of the garden gnomes trying to thwart your efforts. You could work that into the game even without the name having a military connotation.

Hope that helps!

I like the gnome suggestion

I like the gnome suggestion and might tinker with some random element that hinders pathways somehow.

"Chimney" or "sleigh" in the title is good. "Chimney Bound" was an earlier idea but I wasn't completely satisfied. The shorter the better.

Btw, I'm open to other theme suggestions as well. An ant farm was the original idea but I thought the Santa idea was more unique and interesting.

up on the housetops or up on the rooftops is good

How about: -The Flight Before

How about:

-The Flight Before Christmas

I like how it's a play off "The Night Before Christmas". :-)
