More or Less: Christmas

Mince pie or roast turkey — which has more calories? The Christmas pack of the guessing game.

Everything in this pack is Christmas, and the numbers are all worse than you think. 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, and then both numbers land together with the line that explains them. It takes about ten minutes and it works with the whole family in the room.

How to play

  1. Two unrelated things appear side by side with a question between them.
  2. Everybody answers at the same time — there is no turn order.
  3. Both numbers are revealed together, with one line explaining the answer.
  4. A right answer is worth 100, plus up to 50 more for being quick.
  5. Highest score after the last question wins.

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.

What does “In one room” mean?

Put the pair on the television after dinner and let everybody answer on their phone. Nobody has to move, which on Christmas Day is most of the appeal.

What does “Online, anywhere” mean?

You open a game and share a link or a four-character code, so the people who could not travel are still at the table. The pair appears on every screen at once.

What does “Just me” mean?

No account, no setup. Play a run against your own streak while the potatoes are in.

How many people can play?

1–10 players. You can play a solo round against the deck, or fill a table with up to 10 people — in the same room or spread across the world.

How long does a game take?

About 10 minutes. Want a shorter or a longer game? Choose “Set up your own game” and pick how many cards it takes to win.

Do I need an account?

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