How to play Never Have I Ever: Christmas edition

Everyone holds up ten fingers. Take turns reading one question. Anyone who has done it puts a finger down. The last player with fingers up wins. Three holiday twists:

• Candy cane fingers: give everyone ten candy canes or chocolates instead of fingers. Each "I have" costs one, and you eat it.
• Story tax: if only one person puts a finger down, they owe the group the story.
• Gift round: the winner picks first in the gift swap, or gets out of washing up.

About 20 per round for 4–6 players. With ten fingers each, a round usually ends within 15–25 questions.
