Last year one person kind of misused the rules and tainted the game for the rest of us. This year will be different, we looked up the rules and they are as follows:
Steps:
Everyone playing the game brings a wrapped gift so there is no indication about what is inside. Place gifts together under the tree or on a table.
The host writes a number on scrap pieces of paper for every gift and places them in a basket, bowl or hat.
Each person draws a number. Getting a higher number is actually better because you will have more opened gifts to choose from.
The person with #1 picks a gift to open from the pile. The person with #2 can choose to open another package or steal the gift from #1. If a gift is stolen, the person who had it then steals from someone else or picks another gift to open.
The game continues like this until everyone takes a turn opening or stealing a gift. The last person to go can steal from anyone in the game or open the remaining gift.
Once a gift is stolen three times, it is retired from the game. We can "all" decide how many times (before the game begins) how many times the gift can be stolen.
Sound okay?

maybe gifts shouldn't be opened..all decisions to swipe based on the feel , the guess....then when its all over...everybody opens at once and realize what they traded for curtain #2. Also..price? Also.."retired from game" meaning exactly at what point is someone "stuck with it" LOL.
Yeah. I could go for the trading the unknown but I don't want to do the part where you open it then people steal it.
sounds like a plan, we are flexible so will do however you'll want
That sounds like just the spice we needed :)
Sounds FUN
