   We here at DixieLUG are interested in doing a partout activity. It’s sort of like Secret Santa: everybody brings the same set, all the sets’ pieces are sorted into piles of identical pieces. Then everybody takes turns taking pieces.

Are there some guidelines or rules for this activity? We heard about this through the grapevine, and thought it worth trying at least once.

Well as it happens, MichLUG has done this quite a few times and had a blast every time. I have recieved requests in the past on how to do this, and had finally got around to writing something up.

This is by no means the be-all, end-all on drafting lego sets. I would love to hear from other clubs on how they have done this and their suggestions. I would probably be willing to update it and/or write an additional piece if there was an interest or lots of new information brought up.

NALUG came up with the Draft a few years ago; I think (but can’t recall) that it may have been Kevin Maynes who first suggested it. We infected VLC, and from there it seems to have spread. :)

Thanks, Dave, James, Ross, & Jason, and your respective LUGs for the info. I now know why I couldn’t find any information on Partouts (wrong name!). The guidelines on your websites are right on the money of what we wanted to try. The Designer sets and the Discovery Kids sets look to be perfect for this activity; we’ll let you know how it goes!
