(More customer reviews)GiftTRAP sets out to challenge that assumption with its game of giving and receiving. When you have a choice of giving a roadside emergency kit, learn to be a graffiti artist (obviously a course), space age purse or a space hopper (???) -- gift-giving turns into an adventure.
At first glance, it looks like a game promoting materialism and the gimmes, but instead the game is about great conversations, laughs and getting to know each other better. After all, it's not as if you would actually get a flagpole, whale watching trip, or a public speaking course for family and friends.
The creative packaging looks like a gift box. Open the lid to reveal the folded game board. Move that and find the eight brightly colored gift bags sitting in a tray filled with game pieces. Remove the tray to find the game cards with the gift ideas from absurd and weird to practical and cool.
Place the gift cards on the board so players decide on who gets what while ranking the available gives from "Great" to "No way!" Players receive points for giving others gifts they like and lose points for giving a gift that gets a "No way!" The same concept applies for receiving gifts: Score points for the right ones and lose 'em for getting the "I'll be returning that one to the store" gifts. To win the game, a player needs to get both Give and Get markers in the GIFTED zone.
Imagine how hilarious it was to hear another player admit to wanting laser hair removal treatment. Not exactly something to give as a gift, but it loosened up everyone in the room within seconds.
The games business sees a disappointing trend. Manufacturers reissue older and classic games with cheap quality game pieces. But GiftTRAP doesn't fall into this trap with its lovely gift bags and good quality game pieces and markers. The box contains colorful photos, as do the gift cards.
Game play lasts about one hour.

What is GiftTRAP? It's a fun, social board-game. If you've ever given and received a gift then you practically know how to play. Deal some gifts and place them on the gift grid for all to see. Look at the gifts and look at your friends and decide which gift to give to which friend. Now look at the gifts and choose which gifts you would want and which gift you wouldn't want. The real fun and conversations begin as each player matches the gifts they received to the gifts they choose. If you give or get a good gift, you get points. If you give or get a bad gift you lose points. Winning is about being as good at giving the right gift as you are at being given gifts you most want. It's that simple, and lots of fun. Be prepared for some surprises. When you play with friends and family you will get some great ideas for gifts you know they really want and have some fun conversations! It really is the perfect gift to get for just about all your friends and family. GifTRAP helps you explore and develop your emotional intelligence.
