Saturday, December 9th, will be our annual White Elephant gift exchange! We have the large, private room on the south side of Rudy’s building at 3914 N Lamar reserved from 8:45 am to 10:45 am. If you’d like to participate (certainly not mandatory) please arrive promptly after your run with your wrapped gift with a value between $0 and less than $10. Rules:
1. Each player contributes their wrapped gift to a common pool.
2. Players draw numbers to determine the order of gift selection.
3. Player 1 selects a gift and opens where everyone can see.
4. Each subsequent player can either choose an unopened gift or “steal” an already opened gift.
5. Any player who has their gift stolen can open a gift or steal anyone else’s already opened gift (each gift can only be stolen 3 times).
6. When each player has had a turn player 1 can steal any gift that hasn’t already changed hands 3 times.
