About this game
Gift Trap makes you play secret Santa against people who know exactly what you are up to, round after round. Every round hands out a batch of random gifts, and you quietly decide which one to give to each rival while also rating how much you would want each gift for yourself, from a shrug to an enthusiastic yes. When everyone reveals at once, points flow both ways, you score for giving someone a gift they secretly wanted, and they score for correctly guessing what you would want too. Shout GiftTrap at the right moment and you can lock a gift down before anyone else scores from it, adding a sharp, competitive edge to what looks like a friendly present exchange. First to get both your markers home wins a game that rewards reading people better than anyone else at the table.
