The story behind it

The nisse is a small farm spirit in Scandinavian folklore who looks after the house and the animals and expects a bowl of porridge at Christmas. The story and the game are original, inspired by that tradition. Read the tale in The farm nisse and the bowl of porridge on Christmas Eve.
