This upcoming Saturday the 18th, we will be having a Yankee Swap at the store at 12:00 noon. Anyone who wishes to participate, please bring a gift that is at least $5.00 and no more than $10.00 to swap.
It is encouraged to get interesting or silly gifts, but please nothing wildly inappropriate (don't be getting your gift from the back room at UN'DUN).
If you don't know what a Yankee Swap is, everyone brings a wrapped gift and puts them in a big pile. One person at a time selects and unwraps a gift. After the second person unwraps, he may exchange his gift with the first person. The third may exchange with the first or second, and so on. After everyone has unwrapped a gift, the first person (since they are most likely to get picked over during hte course of the Swap) may exchange his gift with anyone else.
I look forward to seeing everyone there! This is open to anyone in the Triple Play community! Please avoid getting items from a specific game system, as not everyone wants a Space Marine for Christmas. Board games in general are acceptable though.

Only unacceptable due to it's worth being under $5.00.

I thought you were suposed to wrap your Richard before you use it, not unwrap then use.

Please don't let these chumps scare you off, guys. I will ensure they are on their best behavior at the swap!

Best behavior would be boring but then again exposed Richards, wrapped or unwrapped, would be another matter entirely.

We could do the long version of a Yankee Swap. The person who is the "victim" of a trade then gets to trade and so on during each round. Only rule is that each gift can only get traded once per round. Mixes things up a lot more but does take longer.

We'll see what kind of turnout we get! That may determine how long the swap can go.
