Just wanting to mention: Eoghann is appearing as the latest entry in Worlwide, with a date in 2014, because I split the Latin America thread and separated all the Mexican decks out from his El Salvador entry. Those threads are currently at the bottom of the Worldwide but I will be adding some Mexican decks soon.

I would love to do the same with the Europe thread, which is a logistical nightmare, to at least create an Austria thread for all the beautiful Piatnik decks.

Seems to me making distinct threads for each country makes this area most accessible to people.
Any thoughts/suggestions on these changes are welcome.

I have started moving posts out of the Europe thread and into their respective nation threads.
There are now new threads for Greece and Austria.

There are still some decks in Europe that are difficult to separate out, but I will keep working on it.

At the moment, to make it simpler, I am going by the location of the manufacturers/producers of the featured editions of the decks. There's a lot of cross-pollination throughout Europe, with many companies reproducing decks that originated elsewhere. If anyone thinks a deck is in the wrong place please let me know by making a comment here.
