Hi all!
I'm very pleased to announce that Pinch a Parcel will indeed return to this year's Ponycon.
Like last year, we'll be running a children's and adults Pinch a Parcel event. The age limit for the children's event is 12 years and under, but if there's any problems just let me or any of the committee know.
Many Ponycon veterans know how Pinch a Parcel works by now, but if you're new or need a refresher, here's the low down:
Before the game:
To join in with Pinch A Parcel, please bring at least one wrapped pony (or pony themed) gift with you, which is worth AT LEAST £5.
Rules of the game:
- Everyone joining in will sit in a circle around the room, with the gifts piled up in the middle.
- When the time starts, dice will be passed around the circle. When it gets to you, roll it. If you get a 1 or a 6, you can run and grab one parcel from the middle!
- This will continue until all the parcels from the middle are gone.
- When this happens, everyone will continue rolling dice, but now if you get a 1 or a 6, you can pinch a parcel (get it?!) from somebody else!
- When the time runs out, NO MORE PINCHING IS ALLOWED. The parcels you have managed to pilfer are now yours!
- UNWRAP EVERYTHING, IT’S PONY CHRISTMAS!
Safety Note:
The aim of the game is to pinch as many parcels as possible, so be as ruthless as you like. Please, though, don’t trip or hurt other people as you do so! It would be very unsporting.
One last quick note: Those parcels look super tempting, but please don't try and hide any. When you pinch one, please place it in front of you. Our ace volunteers will be on the look out for any concealed presents!
EDIT
In all my excitement I forgot to announce something extra special! This year, there will be special prizes for both pinch a parcel events! To take part, you need to bring a parcel, so make sure you do to be in with a chance of nabbing that prize
