The party.
Without the paperwork.
In development. Pass one phone, draw your numbers, and let the gift stealing begin. White Elephant brings the turn order, house rules and gift board together, so you can keep track of the party as it unfolds. Save a gathering for later and return to the game without rebuilding the guest list.
