Monday, December 6th, 7:30PM
Ropes Gray
During the Annual BLSA Holiday Party, Monday December 6th, 7:30 p.m. in Ropes Gray, we will be playing a Yankee Swap game.
The Rules: In Yankee Swap, each participant brings a wrapped, unmarked gift ($10-15 in value). Participants are given numbers and they select and unwrap gifts from the pile in that order. The person who receives the number 1 will pick a gift from the pile and open it for all to see. The person who receives number 2 then chooses and opens a gift and also must decide whether to keep it or swap it for the first player’s gift. Each person in order then gets to select a present, open it and decide whether to keep it or swap it for any of the other open gifts.
The Details: If you are interested in playing Yankee Swap, email Shaylyn ([email protected]). If you would like to play but have financial difficulties, still email Shaylyn.
