We formally invite all the local cachers to the hood, for a friendly holiday game. Dec 18 at 6:30 pm.
How the game is played…
The game is fun, because each person gets to select a wrapped gift, unwrap it and then possibly lose it to someone else and have to select again. Being able to select from unwrapped gifts or “steal” a gift someone is holding is what makes this game so much fun.
Here are the rules:
Everyone who wants to play the game must bring a gift. (Suggested price range for gifts is 10 to 20 dollars) All gifts should be wrapped (and may I suggest you make yours look extra special). We will put the gifts together under the tree. Each person selects a number from a bowl to determine the order in which a person gets to select a gift.
Number 1 goes first and gets to select and unwrap a gift. Everyone oohs and aahs or mentally thinks, “Boy, I’m glad I didn’t select that.”
Number 2 then selects. But she may take Number 1’s gift or she may select a gift from the pile. If she takes Number 1’s gift, Number 1 gets to select again from the pile. After she has finished her turn, Number 3 gets to select.
Once again, he may select any opened or unopened gift. Each time a gift is taken away from someone, that person gets to select again. She may select any gift except the one that was just taken away from her. She may however, have the opportunity to select it again later.
Some gifts are occasionally more popular and may get stolen several times. The fourth person to possess it gets to keep it. No more swiping the gift. The gift is frozen.
At the end of the game, Number 1 gets to select again, and take someone else’s gift if she wants to, but she doesn’t have to. She is actually forcing a trade. The only gifts she can’t take are those that are frozen.
This will be a potluck of finger foods. If you would like to bring food or beverages to share, just let us know in your log. Extra chairs are always welcome.
A gift is only required to play the game not to attend the event. The chair is only required if you want to sit. The food and beverage is only required if you want to eat or drink.
