The Ice Queen has opened pandoras box, thinking it was a Christmas present. She got pretty lucky... it awarded her all of the ancient era techs, and an extra settler with full complement of assistants. With this extra power she plans to destroy the holiday season for everyone. You, Mary Christmas (aka Boudica) must stop her. Maybe you'll get some help, or maybe the Ice Queen will. All depends on whether you can build a civilization that can stand the test of time... or not. PS-This will be harder than a normal Monarch level game, so you can cancel all your other holiday plans and set your mind to saving the world. The world thanks you... in advance.

IMPORTANT: This game must be played with the BtS 3.19 patch, and the BUFFY mod version 3.19.003 for Windows players, MACBUFFY for Mac players.

As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!
