THE EVER SO POPULAR, HIGHLY DEMANDED, WHITE ELEPHANT EVENT IS BACK!
Have you ever participated in a White Elephant gift exchange? They're fun, hilarious, and quite rewarding. But sometimes getting the right gift for the party is difficult. We'll take the hard part out of the picture by providing the gifts, you just have to come and have fun!
Entry: $20
All gifts in the White Elephant Gift exchange will have an MSRP value of $20 OR MORE!
Make sure you RSVP here, call the store at 760-891-8333, or swing by the shop to sign up in advance!
How the White Elephant Gift Exchange works:
1. Each player who pays to join the White Elephant Gift Exchange will have a pre-wrapped gift entered into the Exchange for them by Knowhere Games and Comics. The gifts will range all sorts of great items from Graphic Novels, Card Games, Board Games, Miniatures, Statues, Action Figures, and more!
2. Players draw names to determine what order they will go in
3. Players will gather around where they can see all of the gifts
4. The first player selects a gift from the pool and opens it, making 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.
To keep things moving along, there are a couple of limits on gift swapping:
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, the turn automatically comes to an end.
A gift can only be stolen 3 TIMES maximum. On the third steal of a specific gift, it is locked into the player who took 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 who’s 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 White Elephant Gift Exchange 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.
