Hi all, I've recently purchased two smallish LEGO collections. I've also been thinking about how to push the Jambalaya idea a little. Some of the boxes that I could start if there is interest include: A box full of various plates where people take (...) (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

(...) My initial reaction is that this wouldn't do very well. It would be cheaper for a given recipient to trade for the specific plates they needed rather than send a whole box onto the next person. Also, the selection in the box will diminish. I (...) (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

WOW, those are great ideas. I'd play the Game box. Suggest that the rule marked out (and the rule added) be identified with a name. (...) (25 years ago, 21-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

I suppose "must point with your elbow" wouldn't make a very good rule for this game. :( I'd play the Game Box, and maybe the Part Conversion box. Steve (...) (25 years ago, 21-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

(...) Well, it looks like there is some interest in the game box, so let's flesh the idea out a little bit. "Must point with your elbow" would indeed not be very usefull for a game like this, so we'll have to give some thought to the form of rules (...) (25 years ago, 21-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

What happens if two rules conflict? Or are mutually exclusive? Should you only follow one rule in the box for the time you have it? (I would say no) Should you have to follow the rules in numerical order as you trade with the box? (I think yes - no (...) (25 years ago, 21-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

(...) Like, if you take tiles, replace with slopes AND if you take tiles replace with windows? I suppose that it should be against the rules to make rules that are mutually exclusive. So if you wanted to add the tiles -> windows rule, you would have (...) (25 years ago, 22-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

My thinking is that the person with the box only has to follow the one rule they choose. At that point in the receive-trade-send cycle, they are just dealing with the (potential) mess other people have left. So the current box-holder shouldn't have (...)

Paul expounds: Here's an example: Rule 1: If you take any 2x2x1 round cylinders, put in an equal # of train windows Rule 2: If you take 1x4 bricks, put in 2x2 bricks Rule 3: If you take out anything that is blue, put in (...)

I really think this box will die a horrible, quick death. Once you get more than about 3 rules going, many people are going to get the box, and have NOTHING that meets the rules to grab a piece they want. I would have zero interest in such a box. At (...)

Paul Sinasohn expounded: (...) I guess the way I'd read it, you would owe a train window and a green cylinder. What about using your original idea of following the rules in order with no going back? How would that interpret your scenario? Something (...) (25 years ago, 23-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

(...) No, I mean that when you receive the box, you pick one rule from the "active list", and conduct a trade based on that rule. Then you cross out that rule, and add a new rule to the end of the list. So if you picked a rule "take slopes, and (...) (25 years ago, 23-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

(...) The uber-rule is something like "trade with the box trying to improve the value of the assortment." In addition to this (according to how I was thinking of it), you would have to follow the variable rules as well. If the rules are: Trade only (...)
