White Elephant Gift Exchange Rules

A White Elephant Gift Exchange is a popular Christmas event where people vie to walk away with the best present. It also goes byYankee Swap, Dirty Santa, and a plethora of other names. The White Elephant game is played by a  lot of different rule sets some dead simple and others confusingly  elaborate. Here are the basic rules¦

1. Each player brings one wrapped gift to contribute to a common pool

2. Players draw numbers to determine what order they will go in

3. Players sit in a circle or line where they can see the gift pile

4. The first player selects a gift from the pool and opens it, make sure everyone can see the gift!

5. The following players can choose to either pick an unwrapped  gift from the pool or steal a previous player’s gift. Anyone who gets  their gift stolen in this way can do the same - choose a new gift or  steal from someone else.
     • A present can only be stolen once per turn, which means players who have a  gift stolen from them have to wait to get it back
     • After three swaps, a new gift must be chosen and the turn ends
     • Three Swaps and You’re Out, if you get stolen from 3 times, you are out and can no longer be stolen from
     • Three Swaps and the Gift is Out, if a present gets stolen 3 times, it is out of play, and the player holding it keeps it

6. After all players have had a turn, the first player gets a  chance to swap the gift he or she is holding for any other opened gift.  Anyone whose gift is stolen may steal from someone else (as long as that person hasn’t been stolen from yet). When someone declines to steal a  gift, the game comes to an end.
     • Note that for this last “extra” turn, the Three Swap Rule doesn’t apply, players can keep swapping until someone
        decides to stand pat, or there are no other eligible people to steal from.
