Based on my email inbox... it& #39;s time to re-up this thread about requesting review copies for board games. YMMV.

Reviewers are a valuable element of the hobby... but as casual an industry as BGs is, presenting professionally is still good - esp in unestablished relationships. https://twitter.com/425suzanne/status/1155125615776808960">https://twitter.com/425suzann...

"Hi my name is... I have an Instagram account. It& #39;d be cool to get review copies I can really spread the word." does absolutely nothing to encourage a publisher to want to send you anything.

On the other hand, the email I got yesterday that was 1) polite w/ nice intro 2) stated specific request 3) gave reason why they wanted that game 4) provided channel links and stats 5) provided address was an instant "heck yes."
