Default OT - Quilt Guild Games


Well, this is not a "quilty" game - but you could provide "quilty"
gifts. I'm sure lots of others here have played this game too.

Every Christmas, for our family Christmas party - we do the playing
card gift exchange.

Every person brings a gift. Families bring a gift for each child in
their family.

You have two decks of cards. As everyone arrives, you give them one
card from the first deck.

When you are ready for the "gift exchange" - you draw a card from the
other deck.

Whoever hold the matching card - gets to go up to the table and select
their "gift".

BUT - after the first "draw" or two - the person holding the card
"drawn" can choose to go to the table, OR go "steal" a gift from
someone who has already gone to the table to pick. Then the person
whose gift was "stolen" gets to go back to the table to select another
gift.

This gets really fun and really interesting - because sometimes there
is a gift that everyone wants really bad and people keep "stealing" the
gift. It gets really hilarious sometimes.

There have been some Christmases where we have had to limit the number
of "steals" to three per a person!

We have also played "Bingo" and the person who gets the "Bingo" gets to
go choose a gift. And same concept - if they Bingo, they can go take
someone elses gift, or go to the gift table to choose a new gift.

Hugs,
Tina
