Board game publishers aren't really interested in seeing you game in an email, no matter how funky your sell sheet looks. Generally, they won't even look at a game unless they can see it with their own eyes in person. And the place to do this is at event/convention they're attending. And you need make an appointment with them beforehand. No wandering up to strangers with pieces of folded card. No sir, that is not a good look.

Here in lies my first, and quite large, problem. I live at the bottom of the world, quite some distance away from most major conventions...
