White Elephant / Yankee Swap rules

The basics

Everyone brings one wrapped gift to an agreed budget. Draw numbers for turn order. Player 1 opens a gift; each next player either opens a new one or steals an opened gift (the person robbed goes again).

Steal limit

A common rule: a gift can be stolen up to 3 times then it’s frozen. And the same gift can’t be stolen back immediately. At the very end, Player 1 may swap with anyone.
