European Chain of Generosity

Erik Warnes (unixrevolution) had initiated the BGG chain of generosity which has been going strong since then. Unfortunately, global mail prices can be quite high, probably making the list a little uninteresting for non-Americans (though a few do regulary participate in the chain). With this GeekList I'll try to play my part to make a similar chain avaiblable to all Europeans (thanks, Jack (anglotiger), for the suggestion of a seperate GL!)
We currently have the following Chains running all across Europe:
Original Chain of Generosity.
Pay It Forward Chain.
Original Card Game Chain.
Second Card Game Chain.
Game parts, Miniatures and Small Expansions Chain.
Woolly Shrubbery Chain.
The JAGGY Chain.
The Delicacies Chain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rules (shamelessy but with thanks copied from the global chain):
RULES:
1. You must comment to the item in question indicating you wish to be in the drawing to recieve it in order to be eligible to win.
2. If you win one, you MUST post a game of your own to give away in this fashion. If you don't like that idea, don't play. Please do not wait until you receive your win before offering a game of your own - its all about generosity.
3. Set a deadline of around 5 to 10 days.
3. In the unlikely event that no offers are made on your game within the deadline, try a different game in its place.
4. If you wish to start a new chain, post an item to the geeklist and put "SEED" in bold in the description. For those later in the chain, identify which chain your game belongs to.
5. Sender pays shipping, unless he indicates in his entry that the recipient will and under what grounds (International shipping, etc). Anyone signing up to receive an item where recipient pays shipping agree to do so.
AND NOW HAVE FUN SPREADING GENEROSITY AROUND EUROPE!

ORIGINAL CHAIN OF GENEROSITY
OK guys! I just won E.T.I.... Fair and square! So don't complain!!
In return I'll let you have another go on this Phalanx game. To me it felt like a bit of a mix between Domionion and Condottiere.
There's a "card market" on which players have to auction different cards with different powers, and then they can try and attack other players, stealing cards and so to become more powerful. There's also a voting system which can get quite tense and lead to mean little negotiations...
Unfortunately, my game gourp didn't quite like it, so I'm parting with it.
I'll leave this open till next Sunday! Good luck!
OK! Sorry I'm a bit late! Just wanted rise expectations 
OK: I'm using the boring random.org where I am going to flip a 2 Swiss Frank coin (very exciting, I know!)
Ravenhoe = Head
thirdeye333 = Tails
So now the coin flip makes SHAWINKLINKLINKLINNNNNNG...
And the official result is:
Head! Ravenhoe wins! Timestamp: 2011-02-07 03:16:40 UTC
Congrats!

How about some Zombies instead??
To be honest, I am not surprised that the former offer attracted such little interest. A wedding present from a non gamer - lovely thought just not to my or my husband's taste.

Many thanks to Martin first of all!
Continuing the 2nd Card Game Chain, I offer a never been played, still in shrink copy of Urban Myth. Draw will take place in a week's time on Friday February 11th.

JAGGY Chain
Hi guys! Really sorry I'm so late with offering a new product to one of the craziest chains in all of Europe (is the Wooly Shruberry Chains still alive???)
Well... it seems the European Chain in general has been suffering some slight decline in quality offering lately (shame on you!). So let's inject some quality back into this thing!
Ticket to Ride: the card game, is my offer to you!
I myself am not a huge fan of this game. But if you're a fan of Ticket to Ride, then this is your travel version! The size of the standard Kosmsos 2-player game boxes make it easy to take wherever you go. The quality of the cards is excellent! Cards are large and even have an icon system to make life easier to colour blind players.
This copy has been played 2 or 3 times. It's like new!!
I leave this offer available till 17th FEB.
Good luck to all of you!
Pedro.
OK GUYS!!
Let's draw the lucky winner!
contestans are:
thirdeye333
and
matildadad
I am right now texting with this beautiful young woman who is a singer. Not sure if she's a good one... but I suppose so... well never mind. I'll ask her to type any number and send it over, if she types an odd number, game goes to thirdeye333 if even it goes to matildadad...
Just a sec:
Typed number was:9
Game goes to thirdeye333
sorry matildadad 
Better luck next time...

And since I also won the crazy WOOLY SHRUBBERY CHAIN here goes!!
Yet again, 2 picks out of 4 this time. With a nice set of games fitting the honourable name of this chain.
First choice: Kabufuda
The exact same edition as you see in this pic. Complete with plastic box and amazing little cards, not only beautiful to look at as to feel! The cards are really extra-high quality, extremely thick, unlike anything you've seen before! It's the Japanese Black-Jack game. You can actually play this with regular cards, but it just hasn't got the same charm, does it? It is Japanese and has no rules, I'm not sure whether there are some rules available on the geek, but if not, I'll link you to some rules. This one is like new!
Next is BRAWL
You would get your hands on 4 decks: Hale, Chris, Mischo (Club Foglio) and Rent (Club Foglio)
All decks come with instructions and are in great condition.
Next one is Hector and Achilles, Phalanx Games, like new!
And finally! The African Star, a Finnish game. Unfortunately, the box is damaged (torn backside of the box), but everything else is perfect, complete with English instruction.
This one will be open till 6th March as well! So take your 2 picks!!
Good luck!

So, the 2nd CARD GAME CHAIN is back to me.
Offering this clever dungeon crawl game conceived and lavishly illustrated by Thomas Denmark.
In this double deck set the heroes delve in the lair of a rather sinister mad scientist. Best thing about it: by moving your hero you get peril points that the other players can spend to play monsters and traps on you! Of course, you can return the favour... 
It's got Quests, levelling up, items... almost a mini Runebound.
you can play as one of these characters:
(BTW, it's the english edition, not the polish as in this picture!)
Played a few times, but in good shape.
Item will close in a week, on Thu 17th March.
We have 4 potential Dungeoneers, I will assign to each of them one character card from the game, randomly drawing one to determine the winner.
Ed the Red gets: Throngar
bluerat gets: Nord Fimble
spellen gets: Maluvius
Nunesh gets: Grog Nordham
(shuffle - shuffle - shuffle - DRAW)

OK, as I have a couple days vacation, let me draw a winner earlier than usual. We have the following three contestants:

Being off from work I think that the total count of work-related E-Mails I will find on my BlackBerry would be a good randomizer. I'll divide it by three and determine the winner by the remainder of the division (with 0=3).
So, lets see how much work will be waiting for me upon my return on Monday just from todays mails: ..... 23 ... *gulp*  ..
