Gifttrap mini

Edition BlUE, Pink, Orange And taboo

Gifttrap Mini – a miniature edition of Gifttrap in four different varieties, each of the boxes can either be used as an expansion for the Gifttrap game or can be played as a stand-alone version „Gifttrap light“, the boxes can also be combined any way with each other.

Each of the minis has different sets of cards, there are Editions Blue, Pink, Orange and Black Taboo, which is the edition for adults from ages 16 and up.

The cards are shuffled and 7 cards are dealt to each player, and a first beneficiary is randomly selected. All other players carefully select a card from their hand as a gift for the beneficiary, trying to choose the gift which they believe he will name as the one he likes best. In a game of three or four players each player gives two gifts. The gifts are placed chosen side up into the envelopes. The recipient lines up the gift next to each other and must take care not to turn over the envelope or the cards, because this would change the gifts. He looks at his gifts and assigns markers for very good (3+), good (+2), acceptable (+1) or no good at all (-1) to the gifts. The donors make themselves known and note their respective scores. When each player has been recipient twice the winner is the player with the highest score.

These small minis are themselves an ideal gift, a marvelous game for traveling, entertaining fun and a felicitous transfer of and idea from a board game to a card game. The gifts are creative, ranging from Patience of Job to a visit to Dracula’s birthplace. Sometimes one does not want to assign -1 to a gift because you want to keep them all!
