- play goes clockwise from the first pick
- each time a gift is picked from the pile, its the end of the turn
- when its your turn, you may pick a gift from the pile, or from another person
- if your gift is taken from you, you can immediately pick a gift from the pile, or from another person
- you may not take back the gift that was just taken from you
- a specific gift can only change hands three times on a single turn
- if you have a gift, you can open it at any time
- the game is over when the last gift is picked from the pile
