About this game
That's Not a Hat hands you a gift, then another, then another, and quietly expects you to remember who gave you what while everyone else is doing the exact same juggling act. When someone points at your gift and asks its origin, you had better know, or you are bluffing on the spot and hoping nobody calls it. The rules explain themselves in under a minute, but the pressure builds fast once gifts start crossing the table in every direction. Loud, silly, over almost as soon as it starts, and a near-guaranteed re-deal the moment it ends.
