Dear Kings and Queens,
We will start the next week in a very "Frosty" way. On Monday, December 1st, Frosty the Snowman will make one more return visit to your empire, bringing with him new quests and missions for the winter season.
Each day in December brings a new challenge you can complete in exchange for some of our seasonal currency – Winter Stars! Collect as many as you can, because you will use the Stars to open presents in our winter window.
And this time, the gust of freezing wind will also cool down your mobile devices! The event will be also accessible on iPad and iPhone.
Every day brings a new set of presents containing goodies such as Forge Points, blueprints, units and buildings… and there’s also a special prize every day, which is displayed in the top corner of the window and can be found in one of the presents… the prize could be extra stars, valuable buildings from previous events, renovation kits or a special winter building.
Each day you’ll have 24 hours to open presents from a selection. You’ll see the presents – all open – which you have to shuffle to get started. After shuffling, the presents will be wrapped up again and to open every present you will have to spend 10 Stars. When the countdown runs out, the presents reset and a new special prize takes the previous one’s place, so make sure you don't miss out and get your present before it disappears! If you do happen to miss a special winter bonus building you simply have to have, then it can be bought the next day for Diamonds (in most cases).
Special tiles
In addition to the regular gifts, there’s also a chance you might stumble upon a special reward tile when you open a present. These are:
| Shuffle |
| Presents are reset and must be shuffled again. You also gain 10 Stars when pressing the start button. |
| Double payout |
| The next reward is doubled... even buildings are given out twice! |
| Show 2 |
| The contents of two unopened presents are revealed (but not taken) + you get 3 stars. |

New, unique buildings and avatars
Two new festive avatars are available to be snapped up in this year's winter event (not to mention Frosty's pretty face, if you don't possess it yet), and we've got two new winter buildings to collect throughout December and into early January: Gingerbread House and, as you could have expected, an improved Confectionery. If you already have a Confectionery, you will be able to get its larger version, and if this one is also in your city, you will have a chance to obtain a brand new Huge Confectionery towards the end of the event! Also all of the Winter buildings from the previous years will be available again: The Nutcracker, Snow Globe, Log Cabin, Festive Tree, Winter Gate with its two Gate Statues, and of course the Reindeer Paddock.
If you manage to get all of them, you can get yourself pretty nice winter village!
The Winter Event ends on January 5th, 2015.
We hope you enjoy the event, and we wish you all the best for winter/Christmas and the coming new year.
Sincerely,
The Forge of Empires Team
