The host enters the play order. On a turn, open an unopened gift or steal an available gift. The displaced player acts next. A gift can be stolen only once per turn and locks at the steal limit. The turn ends when a gift is opened. There is no final first-player swap in this version.

Use 2 to 60 unique player names, with a limit of 1 to 5 steals per gift. Changes to the setup apply only when you start a new game.
