It is that time of the year once more and I feel obligated by my title to do this giveaway but his time the ‘collection’ contains much fewer games than ever before on the other hand the quality seems to be of a generally higher tier. So to make things easier for you and more difficult for me I opted for rolling for the prizes with discobot’s help.
To enter for a chance you will need to reply with the number of the game you’d like (maximum four) and a two page story about the best present you have ever given.(the story and its length is not mandatory but I would love to read about some great gifts)
I’ll roll the dice at the end of next week (fourteenth or fifteenth) so you have time to write your stories:)
The keys expire at the end of the year so if you win please don’t forget to redeem them.
(I hope there are enough of you that all these complications actually serve a purpose)

As for my best gift given, well, that’s difficult to say, but I think I’m currently happiest with interpreting and learning an obscure piece of music from one of my wife’s favorite paintings. My recording is her wake-up alarm now XD. I wrote a post about it in the OT thread, so I’ll just link that post so I don’t fill this thread with pictures of butt paintings:
(have to think about the story for a while) … Ok, it was a Christmas shortly after we were married in the late 70’s, and I got my husband a high quality black leather coat from Sears. We were on a tight budget in those early years, so this was a luxury but it just jumped out to me when I saw it. Well, he not only loved it, but still wears it all these years later, and it still looks great on him.
My story isn’t too entertaining, I think. But here it goes!~ My father grew up playing arcade games, but is not a gamer in any capacity today. His favorite game of all time is Galaga. A few Christmases ago, I got him one of those Arcade1Up Galaga cabinets. But I didn’t stop there! I made sure, of course, to build the darn thing so he could play it on the spot! I also purchased some mods from an eBay seller that spruced the cabinet up a little more (brightness control, some better audio and visuals, and even a couple extra versions of Galaga and other games). Installed those too. It was a lot of work besides just buying the present, but definitely worth it! On Christmas there was this huge present wrapped up with his name on it. There was no telling what was underneath the wrapping paper. The shape was so perplexing. It was really awesome to see my father unwrap a big present like he was a kid again. Especially since the present itself brought him back to when he was one. Needless to say, he played with it that whole day trying to set the highest score he could. He even had the whole family setting their own so everyone could see their initials on the leaderboard. At least for as long as they lasted there!
It is definitely one of my proudest Christmas presents and I always get a kick when I hear he has set a new high score.
Welcome back and thanks for thinking of your Chrono family, and the effort of this kind of giveaway.

The special memory for me is actually about a “small” gift. I was about 8 years old. I wanted to surprise my mom with a gift, so I used my small savings to buy a cookware pan (not fancy, but what matched my savings). On Christmas morn when she saw a present from one of her kids she was surprised (usually we kids were on the receiving end of getting presents), and when she opened it she cried (with joy) because of the thought behind the gift. So, thanks for your question since it made me search my memory for that moment long ago.
01 Another Crab’s Treasure - my sign, ^^
13 Submachine: Legacy - Lighthouse: where I ended up after falling asleep on the bus
15 Wildfrost - Snow - wish I could experience once IRL
07 Hadean Tactics - Challenge: Fell Seal with cards
Best gift I’ve ever gotten is a fruit basket, oh ages ago.
I got to witness 2 people smile this year after giving simple, well appreciated gifts. My board gaming friend was delighted to get packets of mixed herbal teas - usually sold one flavour per box but I got the connex, The other was on my mother’s birthday - she loved the religious themed trinkets and the purple teddy bear keyring. It’s not often I get a positive reaction from her, so yeah, that’s a good memory.
You guys have sweet stories here. Gave me them feels Thanks for the GA @anyamtikja.
Well, I only have less than 5 super close friends, tbh. This one is from a group that is happy to play board games IRL, not digitally. Sometimes we do a group event together like watching the Dnd movie.
Speaking of Digital, our group on Chrono had a ton of fun with Love Letter and Orange Juice on Steam, remember @Fraggles ?
I sure do, would love to get to play those games more at some point. I just can’t muster up the logistical effort to try and gather people up anymore. Tried to get a mahjong group running a few months back, managed to round up 6 people spread across timezones so that we could only get 4 to actually meet up twice over a span of 3 weeks and then it just petered out into nothing.
It’s just so much effort getting people organized.
Welcome back @Riouz - NOTE: The numbers next to the game titles you pick should match the numbers in the giveaway post.
For example Wildfrost is 15, so you should edit your post (though the giver might notice anyway).
Story time!
A long time ago, I was moving away so my friends came with me to the airport. I was taking as much as I could but this airline didn’t want to let me take my guitar into checked luggage or onto the airplane I asked my friends if any of them know how to play guitar, none of them did. So I asked if any wanted to learn how to play guitar, one guy did. So I gave him his first guitar.
I found out years later, since he had a guitar, he would take guitar classes. In his guitar class, he met a girl. I went to wedding a few years ago.
I told them how my unlikely gift let him find his future wife but they didn’t take it too seriously. But it is still the best gift I’ve given someone.

That is weird, I did put it like that, but if you add brackets it automatically goes 1-2-3-4.
So I had to drop the brackets then it turned to the number I put in front…
Weird, but thanks for bringing it to my attention!
