1975: White Christmas transports players to the final hours of the Vietnam War. On April 29, 1975, the song White Christmas was broadcast as a coded signal to launch Operation Frequent Wind—the largest helicopter evacuation in history. As the commander of an aircraft carrier, you must organize rescue missions, prioritize objectives, and evacuate as many civilians as possible before Saigon falls.

The game is played over four rounds, each divided into three phases:

• action selection, where players draft cards and immediately resolve their effects,
• operations, using the selected cards to rescue civilians, upgrade the carrier, deploy helicopters, and complete secret missions,
• a final bidding phase for a powerful special helicopter.

Strategic planning, resource management, and carefully timed actions are essential to achieving a high score and saving as many people as possible.
