Stocking Stuffers

A rummy-like game with an element of "push your luck" and a Christmas theme. Players start with a card-drawing phase in which they try to draw as many cards as possible without drawing a duplicate. A player can stop and keep the cards at any time, but if a duplicate appears, the cards must be given out as gifts. After drawing cards, the player must lay down one set, scoring points. "Days of Christmas" provide a timing element. Stocking Stuffers was intended as a 2004 Christmas gift to the gaming community by the author, and is available to play with a Creative Commons license.
