In 2011, we had a 1/2 price CE sale on Dec 24-26, which was Sat, Sun, Mon.  (I can tell by looking at my purchase history - each CE was a separate order.)

In 2012, there was a CE BOGO (don't know about SE's) and it started on Friday the 21st.  I don't know how long it lasted, I was done shopping on the 22nd.

Christmas is on Wednesday this year.  It would be nice if the CE BOGO included Monday the 23rd.  Extra punches and I could get the Christmas Carol CE and play it before Easter.

I just checked my purchase history and I got SEs and/or CEs in a BOGOF sale on the following dates in December/January:

21 December - CEs
22 December - CEs
23 December - CEs and SEs
24 December - SEs
25 December - SEs and CEs
26 December - SEs

1 January - SEs (German site)

So it looks like there was a BOGOF for both SEs and CEs from 21-26 December on the Seattle site but not on 1 January as I got 2 SEs on the German site then.

"I could get the Christmas Carol CE and play it before Easter."  Ummmm ... which year? 

Sunshine, my favorite untimed match 3 is Cursed House, the original. (I did not care for the 2nd one). Each room has a different type of match 3 and they give you tutorials so you understand and its really fun. You can choose timed but I have no idea how in the world anyone could finish that game with timed. Also, Lost in Night is a goodie and can be untimed. There are many, many boards and one of my all time favorite games.


The newest Dana Knightstone game I found to be super easy and predictable. It also looked really short because of how easy it was when I was playing it. Mac users get the full hour to demo, not a sample (no idea why) and I was able to get into chapter 2 or even farther and its only like 5 chapters right? I was very disappointed too! But I love those games so I will probably spring for the SE when it arrives...

I really can't stand missing ONE collectable. Missing 5 of them, ok Im blind or missed a spot but ONE is like REALLY? Just want to bang my head on the desk...




 

I have finished Pioneer Lands (part of my computer cleaning). It was just OK and I didn´t bother to try to get gold on the levels, just have it done with.

Wendy, your farm sounds great!
I´m on level 47 and it looks like a dump or something...
I have over 100 planting spots and all the buildings. I´m planning to make it nice when I´ve reached level 55 and can´t go further.

Farm up sounds a little like Townsip.  I'm like Anki, my town is under construction and looks a little hodgepodge.  You can share on FB with who you want and they can view your farm and send little air balloons.  It's cute.  I've only shared with my sister and her town is incredibly organized. (Lol she's a lawyer).  The little air allows have the FB picture on them and when you tap them you get $, which is handy.  There was an upgrade Monday and the whole town is Christmas - ized!  My sheep are wearing antlers the cows have Santa hats, the trees are all decorated and wreaths on all my houses. They've put their little bbqs away and there is snow.  Can you share on FB and visit each other's farm?

Dana Knightstone, Stusue , I just bought it sight unseen because I like the others so much I figured it would be the same quality.  Although I did like the first two best.  Meg - when you play make sure you get each collectible as I don't think you can revisit any areas. They are cards.

I haven't played any of the games being talked about either. They are all in my to play pile.

Barre, WTG you!    Another one hits the dust (sung, of course, but lucky you can't hear me from there!).    Just finishing the game is a fantastic achievement, especially amongst our group!!!!    And you're especially a WINNER in my eyes because you manage to play soooooooooo many more games and have soooooooooo fewer unplayed games than I.    What's one lousy coin, anyway, that was probably hidden too well so as just to frustrate all the players?    And I have both games, Living Legends: Frozen Beauty CE and Legends of the East: The Cobra's Eye but haven't played either.  So I'm the failure. 
 

Sue, thanks for your comments.  The reason I have fewer unplayed games is because you buy SO MUCH more games than I do since you buy from all over the place   I only buy my games from BF and that's enough for me.  You cannot be considered a failure if you haven't played your games yet because you have so many, it is understandable. 

Talking about German Christmas Markets (I read your post in the other thread), I just visited our Vancouver German Christmas Market last week and I loved it.  It is organised by a German guy who lives here and he loved the markets so he decided to bring some of the organisers over to set one up in Vancouver.  We've had it every year since 2010.  I went the first year and got the Blue Gluhwein collector mug.  Then I missed going the subsequent years.  Decided to go this year and was happy to get a Red mug to add to my collection.  I went alone and wandered around the stalls looking at all the lovely and unique German stuff, bought a christmas ornament, ate a Bratwurst hotdog with sauerkraut and onions...yummy!! ..drank my apple cider and kept my mug.  I intend to go every year from now on.
