The draw candle will have a number on it, and that is the player&#8217;s order in the White Elephant game.

This officially starts the game.<\/li>\n<li>The next player (via raffle) has two options:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>STEAL:<\/strong> Player can choose to steal any already <strong>unwrapped gift<\/strong> that is on the table (provided it wasn&#8217;t just stolen from them or is locked out after 3 steals); If a gift is stolen, the player whose gift was stolen from them becomes the next player.<\/li>\n<li><strong>OPEN A NEW GIFT:<\/strong> Player can go and select a <strong>wrapped gift<\/strong>, unwrap it, and place it on the table in front of them. If a new gift is unwrapped, a new round has begun, and the next player will be the next selected via raffle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If a player&#8217;s gift is stolen, they immediately become the current player. We will repeat the above until there are no more unwrapped gifts in the gift pool. Once everyone has a gift, the game is done!<\/p>\n<p>After the Gift-O-Rama game, we will open up <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/christmas.projectraine.com\/2024\/moms-christmas-bingo\/\"><strong>Mom&#8217;s Christma$ Bingo Gifts<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, then move to our Secret Santa gift exchange!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>OUR STANDARD WHITE ELEPHANT GAME RULES HAVE BEEN UPDATED (See below)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Rule #1. One Steal Per Round<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span>An <strong>unwrapped gift<\/strong> can be stolen only <strong>ONCE<\/strong> per round (a gift cannot be stolen again until another gift has been unwrapped). If all <strong>unwrapped gifts<\/strong> have been stolen once, the next player will be drawn via raffle and select a new <strong>wrapped<\/strong> gift to start a new round and keep the game from dragging on too long.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Rule #2. No &#8220;Steal Backs&#8221;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nYou cannot steal an <strong>unwrapped gift<\/strong> that was stolen from you <em>in the same round<\/em>. You can, however, attempt to steal it again after a new gift has been unwrapped (and a new round begins).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Rule #3. Three Steals and a Gift is Locked<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span>Once an <strong>unwrapped gift<\/strong> has been stolen <strong>3 TIMES<\/strong> in total, it is locked to the last person who stole it (the third steal). This gift and this player are effectively out of the game.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Rule #4. No Box Checking!<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span>A player cannot lift or shake any <strong>wrapped gifts<\/strong> in the pool!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Rule #5. No Putbacks!<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span>Once a player<strong> touches, moves or picks a wrapped gift<\/strong> <em>up from the gift pool<\/em>, they cannot change their mind, they must open it!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Rule #6. No Teaming Up!<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span>Ideally, no teaming up\/coordinating with other players to try to get a particular gift.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Rule #7. After-game Trades Are Fine<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span>Once each player has their own gifts, it&#8217;s yours to do what you want. Trade it with someone else, gift it to someone else, or do whatever!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Rule #8. (NEW!) First Draw Gets a Chance to Extend the Game<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span>Whoever draws first (#1) will also have the <strong>option to extend the game<\/strong> once all gifts have been opened! In other words, once the last (#12) player has a gift, we will return back to the first draw (#1) and that first draw player will have the option to steal someone else&#8217;s gift! If player #1 chooses to steal, their opened gift returns to the gift pool. The next player can steal someone else&#8217;s gift or choose the gift in the pool. If a player chooses the gift in the pool, then everyone has a gift and the game has ended.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Rule #9 (NEW!).
