This seems to draw attention from a huge group of potential gamebuyers.<BR/><BR/>I would also say to attend more gameCons if you can. The ones in Scotland (DiceCon) seem to be closest. <BR/><BR/>Or alternatively, try meeting gaming groups besides Beyond Monopoly! Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, all are bound to have a group of people playing games regularly. Find out where they are and who organises them, email or call to set up a "Border Reivers Night".<BR/><BR/>At such an event, people will talk to you, and play Border Reivers, which you can offer with a small discount on the night . You may even find people willing to playtest your new games.<BR/><BR/>I can try the guys at my boardgames club (in Headingley - Leeds), if you want. It runs every Thursday evening, from 6.30pm to 10.00pm.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck!Azulantashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16931540788100004555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988030.post-1164283285517616142006-11-23T12:01:00.000+00:002006-11-23T12:01:00.000+00:00It's worth a try - I used their online form to see...It's worth a try - I used their online form to see if they're interested.<BR/><BR/>We'll see if they bite...Jackson Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685562784078130612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988030.post-1164281236931226282006-11-23T11:27:00.000+00:002006-11-23T11:27:00.000+00:00I think approaching the local papers is a good ide...I think approaching the local papers is a good idea, especially if you emphasise that you are an entrepreneur (sp?) setting up a board game business, rather than some guy who's just invented a game. I think you've got a good chance of getting a feature done!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16396255841764347208noreply@blogger.com
