Yes, you do lose gifts with bad scores. If you play a game and do not get a score high enough to get on the board and then leave the game, when you come back all the gifts will be back on the board. This is how Vicks and I were able to put together a list of all the pictures you get with games. We had to "reset" all the gifts so we could win them back to see what pictures came with what games. I discovered this when my son kept losing his turkey buddy. He would play the laundry game and not do well and all the gifts I won for him were returned to the game when he didn't get a good score and then left the game to play another one. I kept having to win back the turkey buddy and the next day or so he would lose it again because he could not get a score high enough to make it on the list.
And for me, as I noted not being game savvy in some other thread, it does not mean squat how many times I play a game, inevitably I have a bad game and either lose my gifts or have to keep playing until I can get a score high enough to get on the list. Keep in mind if you've played a game really well more than 9 (or maybe its 11) times you're name will fill every slot on the high scores list excluding the top score that always belongs to an IF. So to not lose your gifts you need to get a score high enough to break your lowest game. I tried playing Cracking Up again yesterday and lost 2 lives before I could even break an egg (I must have been tired because I kept running under and getting hit by the egg). Some people are just very good at video games while other, like me, just plain suck at it. When Vicks and I put together the list of photos here (
