White elephant gift exchange

A white elephant gift exchange is a type of party game. Everyone brings a wrapped gift and puts it in the middle. Then each person takes turns drawing an unwrapped gift from the middle. After each person has drawn a gift, they can either unwrap it or they can steal someone else's unwrapped gift. If someone steals your unwrapped gift then you can either choose to take an unwrapped gift or steal someone else's unwrapped gift. The game ends when no one wants to steal any gifts.
