How do you keep track that something has been stolen 3 times?  If a lot of
people are involved, it could get quite confusing.  Of course, I presume you
have some experience in this, and I should just trust that you know what your

something is stolen, it gets a sticker.  Three stickers and its done.

Stickers are fine if you don't trust the players.

But unless you have 60 people playing in one game or something, it's not a
problem to keep track and stickers are overkill. The person who stole it the
third time (who presumably plotted carefully to get that outcome, I know it's
never an accident when I achieve it (1)) is going to let you know, vehemently
and gleefully, and there will be enough people to corroborate it that there
won't be any doubt.


Oh, maybe I was overestimating how many people would be in on this.  I didn't
think 60+ would be unreasonable.  My first Brickfest, ya know. :)

I see no need for stickers here, in my view, introduction of stickers suggests
we're not a big happy family.


Well, if it works fine enough the way it is, who am I to change it?  I was
mostly curious.

My wife, Valerie, thought that the rules sounded familiar.  She's played White
Elephant before, I never had.  In our family, gift giving was more
straightforward.  You got them, until people tired of giving them to ya, then ya
didn't.
