White Elephants are a popular party game, but of course we’re doing things a little differently on the forums. Sign-ups are open from now until Saturday December 17 at 12:00 PM Pacific. Nine players will be randomly selected from all the submitted forms. The game will start Saturday December 17th at 5:00 PM Pacific. Based on previous years, the game will likely run about two hours. Active participation is key so please only sign up if you will be available during this time. I will try my best to post a list of players right after signups close.
How the game will be played:
- Before the game begins I will take a roll-call. If a player is not in attendance I’ll make the call for standby players to take their place.
- The nine players will be numbered off and I will post the descriptions of the wrapped presents. The first player has their choice of presents from the pile, but they don’t get to unwrap it yet.
- Once a player has made their selection I will repost the list and successive players will have their choice of presents from the pile or they can steal a present from another player!
- If a present is stolen from you, you can either steal from a different player (no steal-backs) or chose another present from the pile.
- A warning though, the wrapping paper is delicate and may tear apart during theft! If this happens the thief receives the contents of the present, it cannot be stolen from them.
- The game ends when all the presents from the pile have been selected. All the presents will open to reveal their contents!
To enter please PM amazondreamer with the subject “White Elephant”. Forms sent to Sushidragon may get lost.

This vibrant blue package tied with an orange ribbon is balanced precariously on top of another package.
This package has a decidedly spring time look to it, with grass green paper and a pale lavender bow. 
This large and bold package with orange paper and midnight blue bow stands towards the rear of the pile.
This present is eye-smartingly vibrant with it's magenta paper and sparkly cyan ribbon. 
The sparkly cherry red wrapping paper gleams and glitters, while the lime ribbon drapes elegantly across it. 
Metallic gold paper is nicely offset by a thick red velvet ribbon.
This charcoal gray package blends into the shadows, but the flashes of pearlescent ribbon stand out.
