[Cynnabar] Cynnabar holiday gift exchange (with rules!)

[rufquad at comcast.net]

While I have a brain (doesn't happen very often...) I have a question. When Finn first read the rules to me I had another question as well, but it has escaped the steel trap that is my memory these days. Maybe he'll remember what it was. 


Regarding Note 2, does this person simply trade with someone how does that work? Since at that point everyone has a gift, if s/he steals from someone then s/he ends up with two gifts and the person stolen from has nothing. How does that get worked out?

YES! I love this game!

Below is the setup for the traditional rules for the holiday gift exchange. It will happen in place of our regularly scheduled business meeting on Monday, Dec 17 th (starting at 7:PM). 

Garb is highly encouraged (though not required). You may still come and watch/visit if you don’t have a gift, but you won’t be able to be part of the exchange. 

If you want to participate, bring a wrapped gift of around $10-ish. Note: No crap stuff from Straum’s basement/house/garage/personage. 
This will in the “Pollyanna” format. 
- All presents will be put in a pile in the middle. 
- People will draw numbers to see what order people go in. 
- A person can either pick a new present from the pile and unwrap it for everyone to see or they can “steal” a previously opened present from another person. 
- If a person’s present is stolen, they may either steal from another person or choose to open another gift. 
- Note: There is a 3 steal limit on any item. That means that it may only be stolen 3 times total for the entire event. So the 3rd person to steal an item cannot have it stolen from them again. 
- Note 2: The first person who goes does not get a chance to steal at the beginning, so they will have one final chance at the very end to steal.
