FAQ

What is Friendsmas?

A Christmas-style get-together with friends rather than family, usually before or after the holiday itself.

What are good Friendsmas games for adults?

Games built on shared history, like a year-in-review guessing game or memory trivia, work especially well.

Can we play with a small group?

Yes. Most of these work with four or more people.
