Match The Coin 2

This is similar to my original "Match the coin" contest/giveaway but this time I made it more challenging.

Each coin is represented by five (!) cards, two fragments of the obverse, two fragments of the reverse, and the name of the country. To make a match you need to find all four fragments and the country, five cards, order doesn't matter, "open them" on your turn, and call the match.

Twenty coins to give away, times five, is 100 cards, plus (on a suggestion by mcshilling) 10 "lame duck" cards, some with countries, some with coin fragments, that don't have a (complete) match (they may have a partial match, though). So, total number of cards in the deck -- 110.

On your turn you will "flip up" five cards (by posting five numbers between 1 and 110, and I'll expose them for you) and try to match five "pieces" of the same coin. Spot a match, flip the cards, call it, and the coin is yours.


Disclaimer: I used images of actual give-away coins to create the cards. Some coins are in a nicer condition than others. Some coins may be considered more valuable than others. If you don't really like your match you can forfeit the coin or donate it to someone else.

The fragments of the same coins are not scaled at the same rate. Two fragments of the same side of the same coin may or may not be disjoint (translation into plain human: they may overlap or not). Two fragments of the same side of the same coin will not be complementary (translation into plain human: put together they will not make the whole side).

The Rules:

1. Eligibility. I should be able to contact you by mail to find out your mailing address. So, your email feature isn't activated in your profile means you are ineligible. All players will be limited to three coins.

2. Moves. A" move" is your post with five distinct numbers between 1 and 110. If the move is legal I'll try to be prompt about revealing the cards you named. Your next move may not occur till next day, with the "new day" starting at midnight Forum time. If you've already made a move and post another one before 12 am it will be considered "illegal" and will not count. I do work and sleep sometimes, so some posts may have to wait.

No duplicate moves are allowed, that is five cards you're flipping might be already named before but not together in a single move. For this and other reasons I would like you to pay attention to what other players do.


3. Anti-sniping rule. To discourage people sitting on the sideline waiting for matches and then jumping in with the set of cards -- your first move can be an accidental match only, i.e. at least one card of the match has to be opened for the first time.

4. Matches. The player who uncovers five pieces of the same coin has exactly five hour grace period (from my post which reveals the cards) to call the match. This time matches will be not so obvious, and with different degree of darksidedness it may be more challenging for some players than others. So that nobody calls random pairs a match, just in case, three incorrect calls disqualify a player for the rest of the game (three strikes rule).

If the player with the match hasn't called it within 5 hours, anybody who has made at least one move can call the match within 24 hours. First to post gets it. However, if you call happens to be posted 4 hours 59 minutes or 24 hours 1 minute from my card revealing post, it will not count.

A match that is not called within 24 hours of being revealed, 5 hours by the player who got it, and 19 more by any player, will be considered unwanted, the coin will be removed from the pool, and the cards from the deck.

Please refrain from posts hinting about a match, no "I wonder if he's gonna call it ..." posts.

Important: This time I have multiple coins from the same country, so there are more than one card with the name of the country. Say I have two coins from Narnia in the pool. Cards #1 and #2 read "Narnia". Either of those cards will make a match with four fragments of one of the Narnian coin. BUT! As soon as a match is made the five cards are discarded and for the second Narnian coin you'll have to use the other card with the name of the country. Another reason to pay attention.
