Once upon a time a witch lived in her house alone, in the depths of the forest. Her favorite hobby was baking delicious gingerbread; in fact, she loved gingerbread so much that she built her entire house out of it. However, she wasn't the only one who loved it! Rude fairy tale characters walking by were eating away her walls, windows, and doors! One day, the witch said that she'd had enough of them all helping themselves and, watching which types of gingerbread these greedy intruders liked the most, she came up with an idea on how to get rid of them once and for all...

In Gingerbread House, you play domino-like tiles in a 3 by 3 grid, covering symbols that give you with four different types of gingerbread and special actions. Tiles can also be played on existing types of tiles, forming a 3D structure in front of you. Covering two of the same symbol is very valuable as it provides a bonus gingerbread or action. Victory points are awarded for building the tallest structure, completing orders by discarding sets of gingerbread, and for being the fasted to achieve certain conditions. In the end, the player with the majority of victory points wins.
