Santa Claus no Takarabako — About this game
``Santa Claus' Treasure Box'' is a Famicom Disk System software that brightens up Christmas gatherings. When creating a card, you can enter the name of the recipient and yourself, as well as a message, select a background picture and music, and even change the appearance of Santa into your own character. This is a mechanism to check the finished product with RUN and record it to a disc with SAVE. Other modes include Bingo, Roulette, Slot Machines, and Poker Dice. For bingo, you check the numbers with cards in hand, and for roulette, you prepare sheets and chips, so instead of a match that can be completed only on the screen, it supports the play of the people gathered. Poker dice are also used to determine points, so participants should discuss preparations and rules with each other and have fun.
