Bought six, all previously owned and rather disappointing.
Edit: Just to clarify. I got the first six games in that picture. The rest is from earlier purchases or gifts. Also, previously owned but not on GOG

According to GOG
Can I get duplicates of games I already own?
Short answer: No duplicates! You'll only get games you don't already own.Long answer: No duplicates, unless you already own every single game available in the Piñata pool at the time of your purchase. If you already have all the games, you'll be notified before checking out and your mystery game will be converted into a giftable copy – this code will never expire.
And
I got a giftable, duplicate Piñata without warning – now what?
This can occur if you've added more Piñatas to your cart than you were missing from the Piñata pool. If this happens, don't worry – you're eligible for a full or partial refund.
If this happened to you, please contact our support team.

The Masquerade Redemption is old but really great. Just saying in case you never played it :)
But sure, since they sold it for 1.39 euros last month and 0.79 in june, I wouldn't say it's a great deal...

Though good list of games but half of them already given for free by GOG. This is not at all sitting right with me. You should contact GOG I guess.

My issue is even though there are no duplicates of games you own on GOG from the pinata, most of my games are on Steam, so I'm likely to either get a duplicate or a game I don't really care about.

GOG are one of the few people that ever got mystery games right. The other ones being the Humble Monthly due to the quality and price of entry, and a tentative third place for Indiegala because while their quality is drastically lower, the blind gamble lowers the price for the 'preorder' and you can still buy it after the reveal.

What is the chance to get somthing good? They don't say in the FAQ.

I bought one piñata and got Cossacks 3, an RTS from 2016 that retails for 20 USD, but I never play RTS so it will just rot, sadly. But I mostly bought it to support GOG.
Then I bought another. Kyn. It's a game I never would have bought (because backlog), but it's nice to have it in my library and maybe I'll take it for a spin someday.
So that's three piñatas I've bought the past two years, and three RTS/RPG type games (last year I got Aarklash: Legacy).

Time Commando is not "poop", it was a great (altough quite short) fighting game back in its days.
Comment has been collapsed.
Time Commando has been sold for around $1.49 on GOG several times. So even if one likes the game getting it in this crappy Pinata sale for $3 is "poop". ;)

I bought two.
Serious Sam's Bogus Detour and The Guild 2: Renaissance.
Not bad games, just not ones I'd buy.

Bought two more.
Scanner Sombre, Enter The Dungeon.
Meh.

Enter the Gungeon? That's a really good game, if that's what you got.
Comment has been collapsed.
I misspelled, so you are correct. I'm going to give them a shot eventually.
And because I'm the guy who will develop a gambling problem, lets try another two pinatas!

Armikrog and Kyn.
I'm going to use up my game budget for the month.

Why people buy into this sort of purchasing is beyond me. It's almost guaranteed to be something you either have, don't want, or just objectively outright sucks.
The odds of getting something you want, or wouldn't mind playing are very slim. I especially don't get the people who buy multiple things. You might as well spend those money for something you know you want instead.

I agree with you, but some people can't resist gambling. It's human nature. I don't gamble unless there's an 80% chance that I'll either profit or get a good deal out of it.
Comment has been collapsed.
That was 80% of my reason. 20% for fun/excitement/shi*ts&giggles.

Same. GOG and bundles are the only time I buy games. Good to support GOG.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm all for supporting something, but why not just buy actual games you want from there then? It's not like all of them are expensive. Hell, there are even quite a few games on sale right now. You'll "support" them, and get a game you actually want to play.
Comment has been collapsed.
You seem to have missed my original statement. The odds are you'll get either something you already have, don't want, and/or that objectively sucks. The chances of getting a legitimately good game that you want, or even just a decent game you'd play are so incredibly slim, you'd be better off just buying a game you know of in advance instead of throwing money away.
That's what I don't understand. That whole mentality of throwing money at odds like that. Just take a look at the list of games. And at their previous such ventures.
I mean you can obviously do whatever the hell you want with your money, but I still don't understand that mentality.

I know there's no accounting for taste, but that's just objectively not true @lowest quality game from gog is still somewhat decent. Bad games exist there as well.
And you seem to miss the whole point. I wasn't disputing there was a chance to get something you'd want, but the odds are so incredibly low, it's essentially throwing money away. Like playing the lotto if you will, though here we're talking about games, where you can spend the same amount and get a decent game you want instead on a sale.
I can feel we won't get anywhere though.

That's why people buy lottery tickets. Because they don't check that the chances are against them or they are plain stupid.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut you could be lucky! Yeah because 1:18657 is soooooooo goood...

This is indeed the case for me as well. I was naturally hoping for something great as well but had low expectations. Also, it helps that there's not as much junk on GOG as on Steam.

I got some decent games 2 of which I already considered buying recently.
Anno 1404: Gold Edition
Armikrog
Warlords Battlecry 3
Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete
The Signal from Tolva

I would try it if it would include Steam keys, but as it's GOG, meh. Not worth it.

Don't like gambling so I never buy any of these things...
Still good luck everyone :)

I hope you know that you need to go here

and break the pinata to get the game.

I really don't do GOG much any more, apart from rare occasions - I'd rather have new games on Steam.
So I knew better, but I bought one anyway. Because maybe! And I got Spellforce Platinum, a perfectly good game that I already own on Steam.
It's also currently $2.99 in the GOG store, a penny cheaper than the $3.00 I spent on the pinata. Like I said, I knew better. /shrugs

Every time GOG has some sale, I'm excited. I really don't remember when it was last time when Steam had something like that.
I got Memoranda, very nice!
Edit: Got one more today & got Republique. 2 tries & 2 wishlisted games, I'm very happy.

Got Spellforce Platinum and Armikrog, what curently sells in my region for 1.09$ and 0.67$ :-\
Comment has been collapsed.
You shouldn't have had to pay $3 though did you? I think they are like $1.50 or so USD equiavlent in Russia region on GOG for Pinatas. Doesn't GOG have regional pricing for Ukraine also?
Here in China, they are like $2.25.

GOG at Pinata again.
