How many and Where do I send my games?

We ask that the two games, a "cheat sheet" with important information you want us to get across to visitors as well as basic play and 100 - 150 collated sales flyers/promotional literature (the number goes down each year, booth visitors are more reluctant each year to carry material, they prefer to be contacted after the show) be sent to the hotel we are staying at in New York so they arrive the day before the show starts so that we can take them to Javits when we set up.

Can I help in the booth?

Althought we appreciate your willingness to help, space is limited.
We don't mind if you "meet" people at the booth, just not inside, sorry.

Will you take orders for my game?

We will show your game and pass out literature. We will take the buyer
information so that you may contact them at a later date.
