Thanks. I like how you connected the giveaways. Pretty cool but looks like a lot of work.

It was a bit of work the first time I did it and was trying to figure it all out, but now I can essentially just copy and paste it. It's actually about the same amount of work as the Previous/Next buttons in the end, possibly less, because instead of having to copy and paste two different links into each giveaway car, I only have to paste each link once into the first description, then copy the entire description and paste it into every car. I then go back and add the {{ }} so people know which car they're currently on.

cheers mate!
I often buy the lil´ ones at checkout, where you get 2 games for like 1,99, mostly because the first time I got a game I would never have bought, but was very interested in trying (Narcos). Since then it´s always like I get one I just might keep, if only to grow my backlog, and another one I´m not interested in playing at all that goes straight to give away .. Come to think of it € 2,- for these kind of games isn´t really cheap !?

Each person has to decide for themselves whether something is really worth it or not. You can't go purely by the cost. For me, I'm hoping to get a couple games I wish to play that I know are in the pool (there are discussions on here that list everything that can be found in each bundle, even the mystery ones). Typically, one of those games will cost more than 3 or 4 of the mystery bundles. So, if I DO win it, just from a cost perspective, I'm still ahead even if I throw away all the other games except the one. However, sometimes I'll come across a game I didn't know I wanted until I have it. So, that's also a win in my book. However, most importantly to me, I not only have other stuff I can giveaway here to sort of "give back to the community", but doing so slowly raises my score/level so I have more opportunities. There's nothing worse than seeing a game giveaway and going "I really want that game ... but I can't enter because my level's too low." So, winning a single level 5 (6 now) game that I really want feels great, and I couldn't do it without giving away all these games I decided I don't want. It's kind of a balancing act, deciding at what point do I feel I'm no longer getting enough benefit to justify the cost?

Hello everybody. I bought a couple of The Magnificent Mystery Machine bundles from Fanatical but none of the games I was hoping to win came up. It seems every time I place an order I add some sort of mystery bundle, and I seldom get anything from them that I like. Maybe I'll learn to stop adding them eventually. Until I do, my loss is everybody else's gain. Today, I have a 20-car train (two batches of 10 from the mystery bundles). I do my trains slightly differently than everybody else, you'll see once you hop on board. This time, I'm making it a level 3 train, as I want to give back to those that have themselves been giving to the community. Also, it's a "puzzle". You'll have to delete something from the link in order to hop on board. Once on the train, you can go from car to car with no problems.
