MrEarl Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Back to the top and to say that there will again be a Yankee Swap gift exchange. The cost of the gift should not exceed the cost of a decent bottle of wine or pint of 'shine and should be either wrapped or brought in a bag. Gifts can be gag or serious. In short here is how it generally works. Two decks of cards are used. Cards from one deck are handed out to all participants (those who brought gifts for exchange) and the person facilitating the swap calls out cards from the other deck. Whoever has the matching card either steals a gift from a former player or selects one from the table. Play continues until all the gifts are unwrapped.

Booreatta Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Mr. Earl If you would limit the number of times as item could be stolen say 3 the process will move along faster. Knowing that time is an issue it might help. Just a suggestion. Cant wait, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait, ChuckVery well...I delegate you as the official gift swapped counter .... heck, I do good to get the card suit and numbers right.....I am also going to ensure that the cards that are in the deck being called out match the ones handed out.

Booreatta Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I have never been an official gift swapper before, but rest assured the people at the breakfast will keep track of the times an item was swapped especially if someone really wants something, brings out the competitive animals in grown adults. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUICK RACER Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 MR EARL!

Just the sound of that hood release will cause fellers to mosey over.Of course standing in front of it scratching your head, will hurry others along. And pointing will simply bring a mob.

I could have at least taken the old one off. I wonder if that was going on at the same time we were at the bar and Ben was teaching the bar tender how to make a Rusty Nail. Those were some of the smallest and tallest bar stools I have ever fallen off of. Didn't think I was ever going to find the floor.
