Common sense rules

If the gift is a food or drink, it absolutely should not be unpackaged until the game is over and it has been exchanged for the last time.All gifts must stay in the room and all gifts must remain in sight for all players to view until the game ends in order to help each participant determine how they will play their turn out. It goes without saying that retired gifts are the exception to this rule.Each participant needs to keep it uppermost in their mind that, no matter what gift it is they may be holding at the moment, it isnt their gift unless it has been retired, or until the last gift has been exchanged.
