- Everyone brings a wrapped gift. ($5 limit) Or one can be purchased at the
Campground.
- All the gifts will be placed on a table.
- The number of gifts must be equal to the number of participants.One gift per
person
- Numbered chips will be placed in a bag. Everyone draws a number.
- The person who draws number "1" takes a gift from the pile, opens the gift
and sits down with the gift in plain sight, generally on her lap.
- Then "2" then takes a gift, either from the pile or from "1". Then "2" sits
down with the gift displayed. If "1"'s gift was taken, then "1" gets to take
another from the pile. She cannot directly take back the gift that was just
taken from her. She may be able to get it later, however.
- Then "3" gets up and can take a gift, either from the pile, or from "1" or
"2", in which case that person can take either a new gift, or one from another
person, but not the gift that was just taken from her. Etc. etc.
- The very last person has the choice of all of the previous gifts, or the one
(or more) still in the pile. Toward the end of the game it's not at all unusual
for a lot of gifts to move around in a single turn before finally somebody takes
a gift from the pile. This process goes on until all the gifts have been opened;
there are no gifts left in the pile.
- The only rule here is that you can't directly take back something that
was just taken from you, though the next time something else is taken from
you, then you can get back the earlier itemfrom whoever has it then, even
the person who got it from you. No guarantee you'll keep it for long, however.
