Holiday Book Exchange

Each December, Book Club holds a "books only" version of the traditional tradey game. Each member is asked to bring a wrapped book to place under the tree, then we draw cards and pick in order. The rules are simple -
  1. You can either open a gift, or steal from someone else who has already opened one
  2. You cannot steal back from someone who has just stolen from you
  3. Once the last gift is unwrapped, the game is over
This is how it ended up each year we remembered to do it:
