QUICK DETAILS
Forum Thread: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/111120
List Cap: 250
Max Per User: 3
Duplicates: See Below
Trade Algorithm: Kayvon's Trade Genie


SPECIAL RULES

In order to qualify for this math trade, games must have at least 25 more people wanting them than trading them. To calculate how many copies of a game can be added, please use the following formula:

# of copies of a given game = (# of people wanting - # of people trading) / 25

Fractions should be rounded down. For example, Caylus has 306 people wanting it and 18 people trading it, so 11 copies of Caylus will be permitted on this list (288/25 = 11.52). Downtown: Air War Over Hanoi can only have one copy since 36 people want it and 5 are trading (31/25 = 1.24). Knizia's cooperative Lord of the Rings is NOT eligible for this math trade, despite having 79 people wanting it, because there are 122 people trading it!

** THESE RESTRICTIONS APPLY BOTH TO THE PRIMARY GAME AND ANY SWEETENERS! ** Yes, really, to sweeteners too! I know this is somewhat unusual, but please do not get cheesed off when I enforce these restrictions.

Edit: I'm going to allow an exception to the want/trade criteria for expansions offered as sweeteners to their base game. We'll call it the Sterling Babcock PR expansion rule!

Expansions are welcome as long as they meet the qualifying criteria.

It would be helpful to list the # wanting and # trading in your description.


GENERAL TRADE RULES

- You must accurately describe your game's condition, language, edition, etc.

- Traders from all countries are allowed. Specify your restrictions on shipping in your listing. Be prepared to have those same restricitions applied to you.

- You MUST communicate with your trading partners and ship your game(s) in a timely manner.

- You must submit a want list for each game you are offering. If you don't want to trade, submit a blank list.

- I reserve the right to remove games from the list for whatever reason. If you are on the bad traders list, your games will be removed.

- If you are unfamiliar with math trades, please read Lindey's Math Trade Guide at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/93555. By posting an entry on this list, you agree to abide both by the general math trade guidelines and by those specific to this math trade.


DATES

List will close (both to main entries and sweeteners): Thursday, May 25th, 18:00 CST (or at 250 entries, whichever comes first)
Summary will be posted: Friday, May 26th, 12:00 CST (or 18 hours after list closes)
Want lists will be due: Sunday, May 28th, 12:00 CST (or 48 hours after summary posted)
Results Posted: Monday, May 29th, 18:00 CST


If you have any questions, please GeekMail me or post them in the forum thread. Happy trading!

Due to the extremely large box size, I will expect assistance with shipping outside the US if the difference is more than a couple of dollars.

Clarification - rules/variants are in German w/ translations available on the Geek. Play components (dice, hedgehog markers) are language neutral. The only German on the board is ZIEL (Goal) at one end of the course. The other end says START so board is fairly obvious.

Since I moved item #23 to enable me to edit the header, his comment above was:

I am leaving for Cancun Monday morning and will be returning Friday evening. If the list closes early and you don't see a submission from me, that's why. I don't expect to be checking BGG from paradise. I'll be Jonesing bad, but my wife will kill me. {{{Hmmmm...maybe if she drinks alot and passes out..then I can sneak down to the lobby, and...}}}

Droolster did send me a preliminary list to use in case he doesn't get back in time.

-if you charge to ship to me, I charge to ship to you
-if you wouldn't ship to me, I won't ship to you.

It's simple: the person who chooses my game's shipping policy determines mine. So: if the person who wants Rommel says in their entry 'no charge shipping to Canada and US' then I charge nothing for shipping. If it says, 'I only ship to the US' then I won't ship to that person (i.e. if you won't ship to Canada, DON'T pick my games as I won't ship to you!)...

In your case, you've indicated that you would charge me the extra shipping if I were to choose your game, so if you choose mine I would charge you the extra to ship to the States over what it would cost for me to ship to Canada.

The shipping policy of the person shipping to me has NO IMPACT on the person choosing my game...HOpe that's clear enough.

Sorry, it looks like I missed the deadline. I read the title when it said <1 hour and <50 spots left or something like that, and added my games. If they are disqualified, please delete them, otherwise I'd like to participate (even though I was technically past the deadline.)


No worries. Because I am (as my GeekBadge proclaims) a PoG ho, and because none of the three games added after the deadline were duplicates of anything already on the list, I see no problem in letting them stay.

Okay, thanks! We're okay now -- the confusion arose because I wasn't quick enough to change the header when the list closed. I'll remember that for future math trades (if I ever run one again).
