Booking Overview

This is a board-gaming discussion show focused on tabletop games, game design, publishing, conventions, and industry trends, with occasional external guests who bring professional expertise and a discussion topic. Agencies could credibly pitch board-game designers, publishers, convention experts, game restorers, and established tabletop media creators; booking difficulty is medium because the show favors credible industry veterans but operates within a specialized niche.
