This game can be a new holiday tradition with your friends and family! A simple design ensures that all players can join the fun. Game Rules can be accessed from the Rules Tab. HOW TO PLAY 1) Decide when to open the gifts: during each "grab" or all at the end of the game. 2) Place gifts in a center pile and form a circle. 3) Take turns to hit the "Player Roll" button. 4) Only players without any gifts can roll. 5) Follow the "action" after each roll. 6) The game ends after all the gifts are selected OR... 7) ...play the optional "Final Round Roll" for one last chance to steal! Traditional actions, such as "Rotate gifts Left", "Rotate gifts Right", "Grab gift from the center pile", and "Steal from anyone" already make this an unpredictable and exciting game. If you enable the +Bonus Actions feature, additional actions such as… "Rotate all gifts LEFT twice" "Rotate all gifts RIGHT twice" "Skip Turn" …will add even more randomness and unpredictable results. Who will receive your gift? What gift will you end up with? You can also enable humorous Sound Effects with each roll.   Game Odds with Base Actions Only: Rotate all gifts LEFT once = 1/4 Rotate all gifts RIGHT once = 1/4 Grab (open?) any gift from pile = 1/4 Steal a gift from anyone = 1/4 Game Odds with additional +Bonus Actions: Rotate all gifts LEFT once = 1/8 Rotate all gifts RIGHT once = 1/8 Grab (open?) any gift from pile = 2/8 Steal a gift from anyone = 1/8 Rotate all gifts LEFT twice = 1/8 Rotate all gifts RIGHT twice = 1/8 Skip turn (Be patient.) = 1/8 Game Odds for the Final Round Roll: Swap Gifts = 1/2 Keep Your Gift = 1/2 We do not collect any personal data or annoy you with random ads.
