2013 WNY M&G Chinese Grab Bag
This year we’ll be doing a Chinese Grab Bag at the WNY M&G.
For those of you that have attended the Buttonwood M&G and participated in the Chinese Grab Bag event, the WNY Chinese Grab Bag will be very similar but with a WNY twist to the rules.
Chinese Grab Bag info:
1. Each participant is to bring a gift.
2. The gift is to be of $15 value.
3. Gifts should be packaged in a Brown Paper Grocery Bag or something similar. This is intended so that all gifts are packaged similarly.
4. Spouses may play as a couple or individually. The more participants, the more fun.
5. The Chinese Grab Bag will be conducted Saturday evening after the pot-luck dinner.
WNY Chinese Grab Bag Rules:
1. All participants place their packaged gift on the Table.
2. Each participant draws a number out of a hat, this identifies the order of play.
3. Round 1: Participant w/ #1 selects a bag from the table, opens it, and shows it off to the other participants.
4. Round 2: Participant w/ #2 now has the option of selecting a bag from the table or stealing Participants #1 gift (see Round / Stealing rules).
5. Round 3: Participant w/ #3 now has the option of selecting a bag from the table or stealing from any Participant currently holding a gift (see Round / Stealing rules).
6. Rounds continue until each participant’s has had the option to play.
7. Last Round: The last round starts after the last gift bag has been selected from the table (see Last Round Rules).
Round / Stealing Rules:
1. Each Round starts with a Participant either selecting from the table or stealing a gift.
2. If the Participant selects from the table – the round ends and the game transitions to the next participant / round.
3. If the participant elects to steal a gift, then the participant that had their gift stolen has the option of selecting a gift from the table or stealing a gift from another participant holding a gift that has not played in the current round (i.e., the participant that stole a gift is considered safe for that round and can not have their gift stolen by another participant during that round).
4. A round ends when a participant selects a gift from the table.
Last Round Rules:
1. The Last Round starts after all Participants have played (i.e., after the last gift has been selected from the table).
2. Participant #1 has the option of switching gifts with any Participant or keeping their gift.
3. If Participant #1 chooses to keep their gift – the game is over.
4. If Participant #1 switches a gift, play continues by the participant that had their gift taken has the option of switch their gift with any other participant holding a gift that has not played in the last round or keeping the gift they were given.
5. A participant that has taken / switched for a gift in the last round is considered safe and out of the game (i.e., they can not have their gift taken by another participant).
6. Play continues until a participant decides to keep the gift they were given (instead of switching for another) or all participants have participated in the Last Round – the game is now over.
Hopefully the rules make sense to everyone. We will go over the rules again at the M&G before playing the game.
If interested in participating in the Chinese Grab Bag at the WNY M&G, please post a reply to this thread so we have an idea of the number of participants to expect.
