Well, it sounds like there has been a positive response to doing the dice game again this year.
We will be doing 2 - 3 gifts at @ $5 each not to exceed $30 total (that could mean $20 - 30 for a couple if they both play seperately). I would also encourage everyone to pick up one fun or "gag" gift that is fairly cheap.
For those who don't know, here are the rules of the dice game:
1) Everyone brings 2 - 3 wrapped gifts. These can be serious gifts, funny gifts, or cool gifts, but should be something someone might want to take home.
2) Everyone sits in a circle with the gifts in the center.
3) A tray is passed around the circle with a set of dice. Each person rolls the dice once.
~ When doubles are rolled that person chooses a gift from the center, does not open it, and rolls again.
4) This continues until all of the gifts in the center are gone. A timer is then set.
5) The dice are then passed around again. Doubles now allow you to steal a gift from another person as well as roll again.
~ You are not allowed to steal someone's last gift.
6) When the timer goes off, the dice stop, and the gifts are opened. (You can trade with anyone you want.)
