Want to trade away some games and get new-to-you games in exchange? Check out the upcoming board game (math) trade at KantCon. Participants post games they'd like to trade and later mark what they want to receive in trade. A computer-algorithm determines the outcome, making as many trades as possible across all participants. Board Games and gift cards (from participating vendors) are welcome.

Check out the math trade page for information on how to participate. Curious but want to know more about how a math trade works? Watch this YouTube video: "WHAT IS A MATH TRADE? Explained in 2 Minutes".
