Preparation
- Either purchase your own copy of GiftTRAP or
or
- Print and cut out the gift cards here
Setup
- Shuffle the cards and deal 7 to each player
- Place the remaining gifts in a pile face down
- Pick the 1st person to be Gifted (they judge which gifts they most want ), it’s the other players job to give them gifts.
Playing A Round
- Ask the Gifted player to close their eyes while gifts are given
- The other players each place a two gift combo on the playing surface side by side face up (two gift chosen from their hand)
- The gifted player can now look and consider which pair of gifts is the winning combo
- The person who gave these gifts wins this trick (and keeps the gifts)
- The role of the GIFTED player passes to the next player in a clockwise fashion
- Players should take extra gifts at the end of the round to keep 7 cards in their hand
Winning
- 1st player to seven tricks wins
- Shuffle the discard pile if the deck gets used up
Note: In the board game the color of the cards has meaning. In the card game all the colors are mixed
Note: In the board game the gift cards are double sided, hence the rule to close your eyes. If you printed you own cards, you could place the cards face down and turn them over when it’s time to choose the winner. You need to make sure the Gifted player doesn’t know who gave which pair of gifts.
Note : This is NOT the board game GiftTRAP. It’s a fun card game that uses the same gift cards that are the source of laughter, much fun and potential controversy. We hope you like it. This is a quick, simple and fun game. Our goal with this is to give you a flavor of what a gift giving game is all about. The full game of GiftTRAP has been receiving great reviews and much accolade from board game experts around the world.
