Just tried it with my friends a week ago, and it was a blast! We had a lot of fun inventing our characters and locations, and then conceiving gifts to each other. At some point, it all became very weird and surreal, but that only added to the fun of it :)
As a minor complaint, I felt like some of the descriptions were too excessive, and since we were playing in a big company, many details that people came up with for their locations or characters were just forgotten due to the sheer amount of information.
Nevertheless, the resulting experience was a memorable and pleasant one. It was nice to feel like a part of a diverse community of freaks and weirdos, who are, nevertheless, all very nice to each other and are eager to help and make each other's lives better.

Lovely idea! I included it in my Fuck Capitalism Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out!
Thanks for the friendly review of Gift Economy and thanks for doing this series of videos reviewing the Jam.
