Oops! The contest is of course open to people in Sweden as well! I sent in my list of countries outside of Sweden that I sell to, but forgot to mention Sweden itself.
Best wishes,
Amelia

Thank you for doing this Amelia !

In keeping with my posts on the US-Only giveaway....

Nice work on the euro only giveaway. Good for you. Happy for you guys.

PS Toldyouso. :P

Fixed!

What!?! Not open to the US!?!

Just kidding, glad to see a European contest finally!

The tides have turned.

What? No 100+ posts of people claiming that they'll stop supporting BGG because there's a contest that they can't participate in?

This is an outrage!

Ok, What's the story with Åland?

Hey, Switzerland is also in Europe. I hope we are also allowed to take part, aren't we?

The reason for the initial list of countries was that they are the countries in the EU, and the ones I currently sell to. Norway was an exception as it is Sweden's neighbour and I didn't want to cause a diplomatic incident by leaving them out

I see no reason why people from other European countries can't be allowed to participate for the game giveaway as well, though they won't be eligible for the 5% discount on an order if they live in a country I don't ship to.

Aldie, sorry for the confusion, I will geekmail you about this.

Cool contest!

I recognized 8 of the games right away but have no idea what games the rest are? Must find them...

Only _4_ 3 1 maps to go.

Edit: ha! You can't strike out a 4, it doesn't show.

Thanks, this is kind of you.
Source of confusion: Europe is a geographical term, while EU is political, and yes, Switzerland is not part of EU.

Cool!

I'm still screwed! I gotta move somewhere I can win!

Last time I checked, åland was still part of the EU. I'm starting to doubt whether Gotland should be included...

I can´t find more than nine....has to be enough !

I found all maps apart from N. No idea what it is?

Certainly a country founded by people who swear a lot.

I did a little bit of googling - seems Åland is not part of the EU tax union, and thus not covered by EU VAT laws - which is the part that is relevant for selling goods to them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_member_state_territorie... has a list of special territories in EU countries - many of them are not actually in Europe. (Lots of places I have no clue where they are, as well).

As can be seen on that page, Sweden has no weird territories with partial EU laws or such.

Yahoo! I am dancing on the table here!

Nice initiative! Tho i couldnt find many of those maps i was too eager to enter. Lets hope there are more to come!

10/15. I have to buy more games!

Looks like the Canadians have been frozen out yet again. They must get tired of getting the cold shoulder.
