Socks and Puppets International. This was the third official game of Socks and Puppets, and is ran officially until July 31st 2009. Sixty-Six presents, Twenty-Two players, Three Countries, One month. Let's make stuff!

"Socks and Puppets is about giving presents to people in the mail. Silly things, artistic things, stuff to make people laugh. It is entirely light-hearted, and not to be taken seriously. If you're playing this game to win, then you're definately doing something wrong."

Notably, it's a game about making presents. Each player specifies something they want (say, "a dragon") - three people then make them the gift by their own interpretation, and the player makes one gift for three random people in return.

This is how we did.
