Packaging Matters! The best game is easily overlooked if the packaging isn’t great. The Box (or Book Cover) has a JOB and you need it to do that job brilliantly. Learn what is required to be printed on your box/book, what you *should* include, and what to avoid to make your game retail friendly.

Pitch/Sell Sheets For The Win! Are you attempting to sell or license your game to a publisher? Are you trying to sell your self-published game to distributors and retailers? Either way, a winning Pitch/Sell Sheet is necessary. Learn what information is needed, what you *should* include, and what to avoid for Publishers, Distributors, and Retailers to make a purchase decision.
