INTRODUCTION The perfect board game for 4 to 8 players who know just enough about each other to be dangerous. The more controversial gifts lend themselves to an adult audience. When money is no object, and the gifts get touchy, matching the right gift to the right person makes for some very interesting conversations! Get it wrong and the conversations might not end with the game… OBJECT The object of GiftTRAP is to be as good at giving as getting. Be the first to move both your markers from Go to Gifted. Advance for giving the gifts other players would want, and for getting the gifts you want most. Get it wrong, and you move back instead. TO WIN To get to Gifted is not enough, you need to remain Gifted until AS`W]caZg³WT =Y3[WZgO\RAO`OV both your markers are in the 9O`S\ Gifted Zone at the end of a round. Q]cZR a][S]\S 7Ta][S]\S

Be the first to move your two markers from GO to GIFTED. Advance by giving the gifts other players would want, and for receiving the gifts you want most. Get it wrong and you’ll move back instead.

SCORING

PLAY A ROUND

Look at the gifts on the gift grid and consider: ❘ Which gift should you give to each player? ❘ Which gifts would you like? ❘ Which gift do you really not want?

Uniquely players keep score on two tracks, GIVE and GET.

STEP 1 - DEAL

BOTH the gift giver and receiver move their markers for EVERY gift when it is revealed (revealing is explained later).

The dealer picks which pack of gifts will be used for each round. The gift cards are double sided with a different gift on each side.

You advance each time your GIFT MATCHES another players GREAT, GOOD or OK choice: GREAT GOOD OK

Choose a dealer.

When you give a gift, move your Give marker on the give track.

advance 3 spaces advance 2 spaces advance 1 space

You move back for all other gifts: NO WAY move back 4 spaces NO MATCH move back 1 space A NO MATCH occurs for any other gift (i.e. Gifts that are not GOOD, GREAT, OK or NO WAY.)

STEP 2 - SHOP

❙ The perfect game to GET!

The number of gift cards used will be ONE MORE than the number of players in the game. The dealer takes that number of cards from the top of the pack and places the cards starting at one on the gift grid as shown below.

You can’t move back from GO or advance beyond GIFTED. You can move back from GIFTED.
