The Christmas gift game or the Christmas gift game – no matter what you call it, this practical tradition is a smart way to ensure that everyone who is part of the celebration gets a Christmas present without having to buy lots of presents. Here’s everything you need to know about the Christmas Gift Game!
The rules of the Christmas gift game
According to the site julklapslekar.se the original version of the Christmas present game is called the dice game. For this you need a dice, a mobile phone for timing and 1-3 Christmas presents per person.
That’s how it goes:
- The participants agree in advance how many packages each person should bring with them (between 1-3 packages is most common) and how much each pat should cost – usually around SEK 50, 100 or 200.
- Sit around a table and place the Christmas presents in the middle.
- The participants roll the dice in turn – youngest starts. If you roll a 1 or 6, you get to take any package from the pile. Continue until the packages run out.
- Now set the timer for about 10 minutes (if you are many participants, you are welcome to increase the time slightly). The timer must not be visible to the participants.
- The participants now roll the dice again in turn, but now the oldest starts. If you hit a 1st or 6th, you are allowed to take a package from any participant.
- When the timer rings, everyone opens their packages.
- Set the timer again – this time for about 5 minutes.
- The participants roll the dice again, but this time you get to take an (opened) Christmas present from someone else around the table if you roll a 1 or 6.
- When the timer rings, the game is over. The participants who had the most luck with the dice will now have more packages than the other players.
Variant: Everyone gets a package
There are several variations on the Christmas gift game. A variant that ensures that everyone gets at least one Christmas present is done in the following way:
When the game is over, the participants with too many packages are allowed to choose to give away a package to someone with too few. Continue around the table until everyone has at least 1 packet or as many.
