---------------------Standard Math Trade Description---------------------
Math trades are an excellent place to trade off a game that no longer interests you. Most of the time, working out a direct trade is difficult and time consuming, not so with a Math Trade! You list here the game you want and then at the end you pick from the multitude of other games something that you'd like for your game.

Here is the best part. There is NO RISK that you'll be forced to give up your game for something you don't want! That's right, if nothing on the list interests you, then you do NOT have to trade. You can ONLY get a game that you want. So the worst that will happen is that you'll keep your game. There is no way that you will wind up with that copy of Volopoly that someone tossed in as a joke (unless of course you put it on your want list).
-----------------------------End Description-----------------------------

Here are the rules (read them carefully before participating!)

1) Number of submissions:
3 per user
List will be capped at 100 entries.

2) Entry Restrictions / Criteria
Duplicates ARE NOT ALLOWED.
Sweeteners ARE allowed.

3) Disclosure
Post all relevant information about your submission in or as a comment to your entry.
Make sure you accurately describe your games condition, language, etc.
A forum thread will be opened once the trade list is closed for discussion and posting of the official summary and results.

4) Trade Selection
You must submit a separate want list for each game you are offering. If you fail to submit a list for a game, that game

cannot be traded.
You must use the numbers that I assign in the official summary, these MAY NOT be the same as the geeklist so be careful.
The format for submissions is: (your game id) (want #1) (want #2) . . .

5) Trade Algorithm
We will use TradeGenie for this trade.

6) Shipping Rules
Traders from all countries are allowed, although this is intended for the UK BGG members. See shipping costs rule.
Traders are responsible for shipping their games in a timely manner.
Traders are responsible for their own costs in shipping as long as both parties are in the UK. For non-UK participants, you
must agree to be responsible for your own shipping costs and compensate the person shipping to you the additional shipping
costs they incur by shipping outside the UK. I think this allows non UK people to join in if they see something they really
want without making UK people reluctant.

7) Deadlines
I'm going to give this one a while, partly due to my reckoning that the UK player base *might* :P be smaller than the US and
also so I have time to play with tradegenie

List Closed: Tuesday, April 18th, 11:59PM GMT
Sweeteners Closed: Thursday, April 20th, 11:59PM GMT
Summary Posted: Saturday, April 22nd (as soon as I can get it up)
Submissions Due: Wednesday, April 26th, 11:59PM GMT
Results Posted: Friday, April 28th (Possibly sooner, if TradeGenie runs to completion)


So how does this work? You add your game or group of games to the list, other people add theirs. After the summary is posted,
everyone who submitted a game will submit a list of the games on the list they want in exchange for their game. Once I have
all the lists a computer program will search the lists to find the solution that nets the highest number of trades. If your
game is selected to be part of a trade, it is your responsibility to arrange for shipping through the Trade Manager or Private Messages.

For a sweetener to this one I'll offer either:
221B baker st (no expansions) box is quite battered as the game is so old but all pieces present.

OR

Poleconomy, The condition is very good for this one. I think some of the money has not even been used.

Includes an English translation of the rules. Game components are language independant except for the game summary on the player shields, I never felt the need to put a paste up of the translation of that.

Talisman 2nd Edition, Games Workshop 1985. Board and components in good condition, all cards (adventure, spell, character (big and small), purchase, toad, talisman, alignment) are present, along with an original set of the rules. Only five plastic bases are present, not six, and I have not been able to check the counters - there is a large bag of them in all required types (craft, strength, gold, life), but I couldn't guarantee a full count of 140.

Meant to add, there is some scuffing to the box, particularly on the edges, but it's still solid and the artwork is pretty much intact.

Can I request that people listing non-english language games state clearly whether they DO or DO NOT have an english translation they can include?
Thanks :D
