Christmas Gift Exchange

Everyone who want to participate brings a gift already wrapped. No one should know which gift you brought. We will have made up slips of paper with numbers on them in both print and braille.  Each person draws a number.

To start, the person with #1 picks out a gift, opens it so all can see what it is. Then the person with #2 get to "steal" the unwrapped gift or chose from those not yet opened. Person #3 gets again gets to "steal" any already opened gift or chose one of the ones still unopened.

The game continues with the following rules:

a) If someone steals your gift, you can steal anyone else's gift (except for the one just taken from you) or you can open an wrapped gift.
b) Turns continue by number until everyone has had a turn getting a gift. Each turn is ended when a gift has been opened.
c) A gift can only be "stolen" once during a turn.
d) The 3rd "owner" of a gift gets to keep it, it can't be stolen again.

After the last turn, the person who started (since he didn't get a chance at the beginning) may put his gift back on the table and "steal" any gift according to the rules. This starts the gift exchange again (following the above rules) and ends when someone chooses or is forced to take the gift given up by the person with #1.
