Game Details
"Gift Grab Dice Game"
Supplies:
- everyone brings 2-3 wrapped presents (plus extra if bringing a plus one)
- value should be $1-$3. You may pop in an item of slightly higher value, totally your call. Ups fun.
- suggestions for gifts: ponies, accessories, merch, plush, backcards, paper ephemera, art, customs, handmade items, G1 retro stuff, candy/snacks. (Please note that G1 items are way more popular than G4 merch...)
Instructions:
1. Everyone sits in a circle, around pile of wrapped presents.
2. Shake, roll, grab, pass! Two baking tins with three dice each are passed around the circle. There are three rounds:
Round I The first round is not timed. Everyone gets a chance to roll the dice. If you roll doubles, pass the dice tin & select a gift from the middle. If no doubles, just pass the tin. Round end when there are no more gifts in the middle. It is OK for people to have multiple presents, and some people to not have any presents at all – it happens!
Round II Timed round. Set a timer (with a LOUD ringer!) for ~5 minutes (depends on size of group). Play proceeds as former round, only this time when doubles are rolled, select a gift from someone else’s pile. Round ends when timer goes off! (If someone rolled doubles BEFORE the timer sounds they still get to pick a gift).
3. Everyone opens their presents. No hiding the good ones – you must show everyone your gift!
Round III Timed round. This time set the timer for a shorter period, but one that will still allow each person to get 2-3 rolls in. When doubles are rolled, select an unwrapped gift of your choice from another player! Round ends when timer goes off! (If someone rolled doubles BEFORE the timer sounds they still get to pick a gift).
4. Victory dance if you got the gift you wanted! Of course, there’s bound to be plenty of bartering, trading, and occasionally giving to those that didn’t get any presents at all. Also if a player did not get a gift, they are invited to select something from the prize table. Everyone’s a winner!
