White Elephant

Do you know that gift game from around the holidays, where presents pass from hand to hand and everyone tries to snatch the nicest one? White Elephant pours exactly that feeling into a cheerful card game you can play in about fifteen minutes. Perfect at the table with family or friends, from young to old. In this game you step into the shoes of the biggest penny pincher in the group. You do not want to spend a cent on the gifts on your list, but you are invited to a whole series of parties. Handy, because that way you swap old junk from your attic for little gems you can secretly give away. Play it well and you fill your entire list without paying a thing. Every party works the same way: everyone puts a gift on the table and, in turn, you pick one out or steal an already opened gift from another player. That brings laughter, teasing and tension until the last present is unwrapped. At the end, only your best gifts in each colour count. Whoever collects the most points is the winner. Short, light and pleasantly chaotic.
