Chain time~
I love you guys, but you need to use more spoilers tags. :P
Feels like there's still a fair bit missing? Lots of people saying "gift away" or not receiving anything yet ... There was an entry or two that didn't list Santa names that I couldn't track down. Fill in the blanks if you know something I don't~
Getting back to my apartment last night, i saw that i had a couple of packages. One bag wrapped in blue, the other in red:
Gremlin checks out the blue bag:
Inside the blue bag:
Alchemists! Whoooooo!
I'm really excited to play this one. Worker placements tend to be my favorite type of game, and combining that with a logic and deduction puzzle sounds like so much fun. I cannot wait until i can get it to hit my table. Thank you!
Inside the red bag:
Pandemic: The Cure! I heard great things about this game! Gizzy and I are big fans of Pandemic (and we are currently in august of our Pandemic Legacy playthrough). I'm super curious about how this one works, and will probably break it out tonight just to see how it goes.
Shortly after, Odin claimed the red bag:
And the santa..
Thank you, @webguy20 ! These are both awesome and I am super anxious to play them both. Amazing job!
Pandemic the Cure is awesome, it has all the nailbiting of traditional Pandemic but in a quick to play dice format. My friends and I can usually get a couple games in over an hour lunch break, so I love it for that.
Alchemists looks REALLY cool. After sending you that I posted on my facebook how cool it looked, and my Mom ended up getting me a copy. We shall have to talk about it once they hit the table.
Also, you should have a couple more packages, they show delivered, so someone should have them.

Apparently my apartment complex office held these hostage for a long time - I checked every day but they were too lazy to look beyond a glance.
Kitty patrol - ok Buddy you gotta let me open these.
Gremlin is protesting!
Betrayal at House on the Hill - I've never actually played this one, and I'm not sure why as it has always been on my radar. I'm excited!
Spyfall - As soon as I opened this one the first thing ZH said was "Oh you're going to love this one, this is right up your alley."
I can't wait until our next board game night!
Thankyou thankyou!!
I'm .. not sure who this is though?
Joking Hazard! This looks like a great time. Looking forward to checking this out.
Red Bag
The Castles of Mad King Ludwig expansion! This is amazing. This is one of my favorite games and im very excited to seeing what the expansion adds to the game. This will probably get a ton of play.
@webguy20 thank you for all the gifts! This has been super generous! They've all been great and now i need to plan extra game days just to have them all hit the table. Thank you!!
It is super confusing that two people in a row finally got a gift that their apt complex office had trouble finding, inside was a red bag and a blue bag, and then their cat Gremlin played with their gifts. Like... what?

Married couple and a lot of amazon drops. Also a poorly organized apartment office it sounds like.

After playing a game with @Gizzy, I can confirm that is definitely fun. The theme was perfect, and the apps was super easy to use. I want to play it again at my next opportunity.

I think the only one I have the wasn't obvious on the first playthrough: In the final round, it's tempting to put all your cubes on the exhibit potions space, but make sure you having your victory point seals down on theories first.
My oldest helps me investigate the box of mystery.
Incoming Transmission - Level 5 ENCRYPTION
Admiral ArcSyn, Your loyalty to the Empire and skilled command has not gone unnoticed. These interceptors, once part of the Suicide Squadron will serve you well.
Imperial Veterans! This is so fantastic because I need another defender and bomber and the cards that come in this are AMAZING. Hopefully I can get a few games in over Christmas vacation and destroy some filthy Rebels. Also perfect timing because I'm going to see Rogue One tonight!
A Spirit Am I Giving Rice Treats This Christmas Panda Santa Claus
I've been wanting to play this since I saw it on Tabletop. I love the drafting mechanic (I have 7 Wonders) but more quickly played and lighter. Plus my wife and I and some of our kids love sushi, so this will go over extremely well!
You can't just send me a miscellaneous list and not expect something odd to show up in the mail! I know we are supposed to send games, but random skillet is just too funny!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! This is hilarious! I had added this to my misc wish list because Amazon gives you some rudimentary price tracking so I could watch for a sale. My wife has been saying it would be nice to have a cast iron skillet but I can't buy it as a Christmas present because it's a house utility item and her dad got her mom a vacuum one year and any presents like that are called "a vacuum".
So great, Santa! I feel like you have given me clues as to who you are but I haven't figured it out yet. If these aren't clues, then feel free to let me know! Thank you!

Guess what got used today? The skillet! Made some AMAZING rib steaks. Thank you @Grunt's Ghosts!
So I should drop by for dinner is what you are saying?
I'm glad you like the skillet. I bought the same one I got you for myself and it's suppose to be coming in this week.
I recommend you to season it a bit more before cooking with it. It says it's preseasoned but it wasn't great and took some cleaning after cooking tonight. Once I cleaned it up I went ahead and started seasoning it.
Thousand apologies, @Green - I did receive two packages from Amazon late last week, containing a copy of Pokémon Sun and a Quiver card case! The note enclosed mentioned a total of four things so I was waiting for other arrivals before posting - didn't mean to make you worry! (though I don't think I've seen anything else before or after that wasn't accounted for in another gift exchange, so there may still be one thing awol)
Thanks again @Green! I haven't seen anything else tho so the 4th thing may have been eaten by a grue.
And @MamaWolf, I am your Santa! I was planning to reveal myself via the second gift I had purchased for you, but I misplaced it until TODAY so expect something else to accompany that d20 that thirsts for the blood of your players flashes on a crit
You've solved my Gifting Puzzle!
Great job everyone!
A few of fun notes:
The mere_immortal/Dayspring pairing happened by pure chance. I thought it was awesome that they had each other.
The TimFiji/MagicPrime pairing also happened by chance, but I didn't even realize it until the gifts started going out, which was hilarious.
I only had to manually intervene once in pairings: Delduwath originally had himself. He was the last person in the list, so I just swapped the targets of the last two (crimsoncoyote was the other).

@ElderCat I think I just got that Pikachu for my niece this Christmas.
34lbs? Dang. Odin is the biggest of our pride and i think he is just 13 or 14 lbs.
Gremlin is a good name for a cat. Mine got his name by chewing through a small wire which managed to cut out all of my TV and internet service.

Been hitting the nog a bit harder than usual with tinsel still stuck in some places, but Santa dropped by with a load of wonderful goodies!

To my mysterious Santa, thank you for brightening my December right up with this fat, fat bank server waiting to be knocked right over!
