My sister told me about it this year and she said it's really funny.

Did this once at work but we were not allowed to spend any money.  It had to be something you owned and did not want anymore.  Some of the gifts were really bad and some were useful.  I ended up with a used toaster oven that I sold at a garage sale for $15

the game is a lot of fun and i agree there is always a wide variety of gifts and a lot of taking or stealing of gifts

Well it is good you sold it for $15 but I don't think I would want someone else's unwanted or unused junk. lol

That's why it got sold.  Made a profit for something I did pay for and got rid of something I no longer wanted.  Win Win
