[SnowRoo]

Some of you may or may not know of this so i thought id mention it here.

This is an amazing way of trading games or purchasing 2nd hand games that is worth looking into.

Here is the link:

So for anyone who is unfamiliar with a Math trade i figured id list this to help explain.

The Aussie system is slightly different but uses the same principles. The Wiki can be found here

This will also help you get an idea of what an amazingly wonderful thing this is

Seems complicated!

Seems complicated!

Pretty simple really once you get the hang of it.

In sumation:
Step 1 - you list games your interested in trading

Step 2 - each item is given a unique code i.e. 2999880-PUERR was my Puerto Rico last trade

Step 3 - you register a wishlist showing games you would trade your game for using the codes.
Here was my list for Puerto Rico

(Snowy0505) 2999880-PUERR: 2954744-COXXX 3003764-MOVSE 2972903-DOMIS 2998687-DUNGP 2984971-GINKG 2998656-POWEG 2995814-MAKNB 3002600-SNOWD 3002401-SMALW 3004040-KEYFL 2996154-KEYFL 3002561-7WOND 2945355-KINGB 2933696-ETCOT 3002590-POWEG

Basically it says id trade for CO2, Merchant of Venus, Dominant Species, Dungeon Pets, Ginkopolis, Powergrid, MageKnight, Snowdonia, Smallworld, Keyflower, 7 Wonders, Kingdom Builder, Escape or powergrid. All offered up for trade by other participants.

Step 4 - Add cash offers for any items

(Snowy0505) $35: 2972831-STONA

an offer of $35 for Stone Age

Step 5 - wait for results

Ok that seems much more simple, i think it was all the codes that threw me off!

I might have to get in on this one, once I cull down the list of wants...

 

[SnowRoo]

Over 200 items listed now and still a week of listing time to go.

Cant recommend enough people have a look and consider getting involved in this.

Of course pay special attention to my listings as they are the best

 

[SnowRoo]

Going well so far, Le Havre and Glen More are now mine

Ahh only just saw this. Maybe I'll get involved in the next one.

Good haul - I'm keen to try Trajan myself. Nice work picking up the Heroscape as well, and the Seeland (heh). Why did you get rid of Urban Sprawl though?

Picked up Urban Sprawl in the last Math Trade, as i mostly play with the Gf and daughter it was a bit long and the endgame got a bit aggressive so it didnt really fit well.

They score well this time with Seeland (GF is Dutch), Fresco as a pretrade and the purchase of Rokoko

Ive played Trajan a few times and do like it, not sure how much table time it will get though. Had a few preferences ahead of it but cant complain at all about the result.
