A circle of board game trades takes place using an algorithm among the participants and everyone gets a favorable trade. Math trades are a way to research new games and meet new people.
How does it work? -Everyone interested in joining the trading posts the game(s) they'd like to trade as items in the trade list. You can join by visiting abecorn.com then click "Trades". -Everyone who submitted a game then figures out which games they'd like from the list. They submit a list of wants for each game they put up for trade in the list. -Once the moderator has everyone's lists of wanted trades, they run the algorithm to find out who should send their game to whom. -The moderator posts the list of trades as decided by the algorithm. Some game entries won't be traded at all. For the rest, you'll be told whom to send your game to and which game you'll be getting in return. - Once you know who you're giving your game to, make a list of who/what you're getting from whom. - Then show up to the pre-arranged exchange time and swap games.
