I bought one and got World in Conflict: Complete Edition. Via piñata it was cheaper than the price in the current sale by 39 cents. What did you get? Anyone get a particularly great deal?

I got S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl and Heroes of Might and Magic 3, pretty meh, I guess. Some people got better some got worse.
Heroes of Might and Magic 3, pretty meh
I beg your pardon
Heroes of Might and Magic 3
It isn't for everyone I guess.
I grew up playing that game, but it holds up very well surprisingly.
Takes a little while to get used to it, it's different than most games to day but the mechanics are pretty intuitive and satisfying.
Each different faction plays pretty differently and there's a lot of room for creative strategies.
My favorite I've seen is getting an army of units immune to magic and then the most powerful "kill everything" spell.
Every battle lasts like 3 seconds
There was also the necromancy ending up with an army of like 30000 skeletons and being unstoppable through sheer numbers
Burn the heretic.
I bought 2 pinatas, I received
Shadowrun: Dragonfall (already owned on Steam)
Capitalism 2 (a game I've never wanted)
So it was a bust for me. A friend bought one and received
Man O' War: Corsair
So he scored a nice deal on it.
Wow your friend got pretty lucky!
I bought 40 pinatas because I like DRM-free, wanted to support GOG, and grow my library. At 3 bucks a pop you can't go wrong with almost any game you get. I didn't get anything amazing, but was happy with what I was getting until duplicates started dropping. Thought that's weird, it says no dupes unless you already own all the games from the draw pool and you'll be notified before purchase. Well that didn't happen and I got 10 dupes.
Support was really cool about it though and refunded all the pinatas I bought in just about 24 hours of contacting them. Even asked if I wanted to keep and specific ones but I said no. Money is already processing back to my Paypal account. Just gonna buy Observer and some other games instead of gambling for some potential winners and getting stuck with dupes again.
So did you get anything good? I feel like for $120 you should have.
Anything worth more than $5 on sale? Probably not. It's a lot to go through individually and some I already have on Steam BUT IMO most were solid games especially for 3 bucks. Without dupes, I felt like I got my money's worth but I don't want to gamble on pinatas again and possibly get another un-notified dupe.
This is most of but not everything. I actually bought around 45 I think. I already had Shadowrun Returns, and there's some new ones in there I had just got but then got again too.
Bought five.
Grim Fandango remaster
The Guild 2 Renaissance
Republique
Skyshine's Bedlam Redux
Bombshell
Not unhappy about any of this. Bedlam is actually on my wishlist, so that's a score. I want to play Bombshell even though I know it's not good, so getting it in a blind box is kind of perfect. I don't own any of these on Steam. Well worth it for me.
Bombshell's not terrible, especially for $3! Seems like you've had some pretty decent luck. :)

Her Story, which I didn't own so there's that. Dunno if it's my kinda game.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl, and the guild 2. The hype from getting stalker caused me to buy another pinata, and i deeply regret it lol.
damn I'd be happy to get STALKER
Lucked out with Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete. As I bought the Humble Might and Magic Bundle in the past, I'm pretty pleased to get this.

woah.. Shadow Warrior 2 basically already worth a lot more.
bought 5 ended up getting
1, soulbringer 2, elven legacy collection 3, depths of peril 4, wasteland 2 directors cut 5, stalker : shadows of chernobyl

Anno 1403 and one of the risen games I already have on steam. Oh well.
Seven Kingdoms II
I got Capitalism 2, which I'd JUST been looking at to buy but decided against. I'm quite pleased with this purchase. Though I may have preferred Capitalism Plus
I opened one and got Heros of Might and Magic III: Complete. I hear it's a good series, I suppose that was a good pick? tbh it would be better to just buy the specific game that you want most of the time, since they're all around $3 or even less. I also picked up Shadowrun Dragonfall for $3 and Riven: the Sequel To Myst for only $1.49 individually.
I got:
Trine 2 is great, but I already had it on Steam. Was interested in Saints Row one - might play it soon. Haven't heard of three others.
However... Except Republique, all these games are cheaper when bought separately, Piñatas made them more expensive. Maybe just poor luck. :/
I got a bit carried away and bought six (this is why I don't go to casinos...)
All of these are around 3€ in the sale so not great value. I also never.
I would never have bought any of these games myself, but as they don't seem totally awful, I'll say it's an OK pull.
But I will refrain from buying that much pinatas in the future...
Edit: You know what: I had not looked at Expeditions Conquistador yet and it looks right up my alley, so I'm glad I bought these in the end.
Bought 1, and got walking dead season2 (which I've already played on steam and Ps4)... But I think everyone knew the risk.. Don't?
Anno 1409 and Batman Telltale series. A nice deal for me because I was interested in the both of them.
There were a lot of Piñatas containing Trine 2, from what I can see... A little bit of let down for a game that has been on offer or bundled so many times.
Got two.
Saint's Row: Gat Outta Hell
Kyn
They are both on sale right now for $3.79 and $3.99, respectively. So I saved under $2 on two games I did not really want.
So, I am underwhelmed. I need to learn not to bet on these sort of things.
Anno 1409 , bit meh but the GOG forums looks like better stuff has been got
It's Anno 1404. Tip: the numbers always add up to 9.
I typed it up without checking back, I've honestly never really looked into the series. Thanks for the correction.
