Here’s all the info about Santa’s Rooftop Scramble:

Multiple award winning couple Noel Donegan and Luz Java have reached new heights with their latest addition to the market.

“Santa’s Rooftop Scramble,” their new board game is already a top seller this year in Smyth’s Toys.

This inventive and enterprising couple have an impressive catalog of awards to their name;

  • Dream Toy
  • Creative Toy of the year

Noel said ” It’s important in these financially challenging times to offer real value to already hard pressed families.”  Noel and Luz made a decision to settle on a reduced profit margin by manufacturing Santa’s Rooftop Scramble, here in Ireland as opposed to China. Noel Said ” Hasbro Ireland did a marvelous job on the manufacturing as you would expect from one of the worlds leading toy manufacturers.

“We are proud to be supporting Irish manufacturing and Irish jobs,”added Luz.

Whether you are 5 years old or 95 years old Santa’s Rooftop Scramble is a joy to play and a wonderful way to get everyone together for some magical and fun filled family time.
