a number. When the number is called, the person holding the number has the
option of choosing a wrapped gift or "stealing" the already unwrapped gift
of someone else. This continues through 3 rounds of play. At the end of the
third round, you keep the gift you have. If you don't have a gift you will
be allowed to choose one from the remaining unopened ones.
