X-Mas Ornament X-Change Lunch

Please bring a dish and a wrapped X-Mas ornament for the tree (15 €) along. 

 

A White Elephant Gift Exchange is a popular Christmas event where people vie to walk away with the best present. It also goes by Yankee Swap, Dirty Santa, and a plethora of other names. Our White Elephant game is played by the following ruleset.

1. Each player brings one wrapped X- Mas ornament to contribute to a common pool

2. Players draw numbers to determine what order they will go in

3. Players sit in a circle or line where they can see the gift pile

4. The first player selects a gift from the pool and opens it

5. The following players can choose to either pick an unwrapped gift from the pool or steal a previous player’s gift. Anyone who gets their gift stolen in this way can do the same – choose a new gift or steal from someone else.

Three Swaps and You’re Out. If you get stolen from three times during the game, you are out of the game and can no longer be stolen from.

Three Swaps and the Gift is Out. If a present gets stolen three times, it’s out of the game and the person who holds it gets to walk away with it.
