In Snowball Hostilities players lead a team of kids against opponents in a series of wintry battles that take place in their backyard. Players can have their kids create, maintain, and transport a supply of snowballs and snow bricks as well as build snow walls for defense and snowmen that come to life and wreak havoc. Santa randomly appears in the game to drop presents that players can utilize such as snowmobiles, catapults, sleds, and a remote control airplane. To win players must sweep the other teams from the map or force them into resignation. SEQUENCE OF PLAY Each turn each kid, represented by a pawn, receives a number of action points. These can be used to move across the map, attack other players' kids, attempt to recruit new kids, or conduct other actions such as making, gathering, or transporting items. After players make their moves NPCs such as Santa, the elf, snowmen, and the dog will move randomly by roll of dice if they are on the map. —description from the designer
