That's some impressively crass hucksterism.

Instead of giving us a Live Draft, New Cards or what ever WE ask for. All WE get is a Scavenger Hunt. When and where is the Easter Egg Hunt? Do I have to PAY for the Eggs I find?

SOM who is your Marketing Person? You actually PAY some one to come up with this. Please give US what we would like.

Create a customized Strat-O-Matic article of clothing (photo).

If I create a customized shirt, wonder if I can sell it if I make multiple copies. :lol:

Post a Facebook status that tags the Strat-O-Matic Facebook page (“Strat-O-Matic Games”) (screenshot).

Does that site with disgruntled strato online players count? :lol:

Sorry guys, but these were hard to resist. Can you imagine how much fun Jerry Sheinfeld or George Carlin could have with this.

Focus this on brand awareness and generating social media hits, take out all of the purchase related items and you have a great marketing promotion! Here's how it would have looked:

    - Play 3-Minute Baseball and get on the leader board (screenshot).
    - Submit a photo of two or more children playing Strat-O-Matic Baseball Express (photo; 2 points for submitting photo and video).
    - Compete in a face-to-face Strat-O-Matic Tournament (photo).
    - “Like” the Strat-O-Matic Facebook page (screenshot).
    - Post a Facebook status that tags the Strat-O-Matic Facebook page (“Strat-O-Matic Games”) (screenshot).
    - “Follow” the Strat-O-Matic Twitter account (screenshot).
    - Send a tweet that tags the Strat-O-Matic Twitter handle (@StratOMatic) and uses the hashtag #StratoScavengerHunt (screenshot).
    - Follow the Strat-O-Matic Pinterest account and “repinn” at least one of our photos (screenshots).
    - Subscribe to the Strat-O-Matic YouTube channel (screenshot).
    - Play a Strat-O-Matic game with a child (photo or video; 2 points if both).
    - Create a Strat-O-Matic YouTube video that has at least 50 views (video link- must be different from #18).
    - Make a post about Strat-O-Matic on an online forum (screen shot and name of forum).
    - Have a framed Strat-O-Matic item in your home (photo).
    - Bring Strat-O-Matic with you on a road trip or vacation (photo).
    - Collect at least three different colored 20-sided die (photo).
    - Play a game in your own customized Strat-O-Matic Stadium (photo).
    - Email a submission that is featured in Strat-O-Matic’s monthly “Talk Show” column with Glenn Guzzo (your name/state and identify the monthly column it is featured in). Submissions can be sent to SOMTalkShow@aol.com.
    - Email a submission that is featured in Strat-O-Matic’s monthly “Great Moments in Strat” article (your name/state and identify the monthly column it is featured in). Submissions can be sent to SOMTalkShow@aol.com.
    - Create a customized Strat-O-Matic article of clothing (photo).

A little better I think and would be more in the "no purchase necessary" realm for most SOM Fans. I suspect the intent was a social media push, that maybe missed the mark a little.

Wouldn't creating a customized piece of strat o matic clothing be copyright infringement, landing you in trouble?

They're trying to set us up damnit.
