If you don't know, White Elephant is a turn-based holiday game where each player, given a number for their turn order, tries to acquire the gift they want. In this game, every single person walks away with a prize, and I did my best to make all of these prizes of some equal popularity. All 10 gifts are different! You won't walk away from the game with the same gift as someone else.

There are 10 gifts in the pile, and therefore will be 10 players. Each player will be numbered 1-10, and that will be your turn number. #1 goes first, and #10 goes last.
When it is your turn, you have two options. You can either choose a randomly numbered gift from the pile (you will not know what the gift is until I have told you after you choose it), or you can steal a gift from someone else that has already been opened.
An item can be stolen twice before it is locked in with the current holder. So, the second person to steal a given item will be the keeper of it.
If an item is stolen from you, then you will take a turn, temporarily breaking the chronology of the game. After, chronology will resume.

Each player has only 24 hours to make their turn from the last player's turn. If that person doesn't go, the following player may choose two gifts. The game is projected to take about 20 days, but I hope it can go a little faster if all players don't take up their entire 24 hours.

Again, there are only 10 players in this game. I'm giving ~5 days to sign up, and I'd like to start on December 20th. Hopefully, we can be done before Christmas! Just post below if you'd like to play. Your turn number will be posted in the game thread on the 20th.
