This is a continuation of information set forth in the “Help Us Write Game Reviews” post. Read on:

WHO AM I WRITING TO?
Members and customers of Wholesale Board Games – online shoppers mainly from the United States and Canada, but also from around the world. They are looking for a board game or other game to purchase, and are reading your article because they know very little about the game, or are seeking an honest second opinion.

BOARD GAME REVIEW GUIDELINES

Game Review Purpose
-Inform and entertain the reader,
-Explain what the game is all about & how it’s played,
-Includes both pros and cons of game, and
-Suggests if the game is of good value, and for whom.

In short, the game review is meant to help a customer decide whether or not that game is right for them. These articles will be posted on this blog for customers to read.

A Few Suggestions
-Game review idea must be approved before article submission.
-You must have actually played the game in order to review it!
-Content should be original and unique.
-DON’T include: strategies (submit as a strategy article), extreme opinions (I hate this game)
(quick note-if you have strong feelings against a game, feel free to review it on the product page at the store).
-Personal Photos or accompanying images are appreciated.
