At the table

Near the end of The Classic, Aunt Mabel points at the box wrapped in white: “Just there on the LEFT … no, I mean on the RIGHT”. Every gift in the circle goes one seat over and comes straight back, because each capital word counts, even when a character changes her mind.

Shepherds stand on the LEFT

Why it works

Each story was checked for circles of 6 to 14 players: every gift travels and ends at least 2 seats from where it started, so nobody unwraps the gift they held at the first line. Every story page states its passes and its reading time.

Made for: Office gift swaps, family Christmas, church socials and senior centers. Table Slide lets gifts slide along the table.
