Hi there!

This is Linda Formichelli, W. Eric Martin’s partner in Board Game Beat…and in life. :) I wanted to send you three quick bits of news you can use.

1. December 31, 2025 is the final day to get a 10% discount on ads on Board Game Beat. Don’t miss out…we already have 30 spots booked — with launch, holidays, and convention dates going fast! See which spots are still available and go here to book your ad. (Use passcode 9763.)

2. Eric will be at Spielwarenmesse in Nürnberg, Germany all day on January 28 and 29. Hit reply if you have any new or upcoming games you’d like to show off at the fair, and Eric will schedule an appointment with you.

3. Would you like to stay up to date on Board Game Beat posts? We already have 244 members (both paying and free…which is pretty cool considering we haven’t launched yet!). You can become a member too, to receive posts right in your inbox. Here’s where to sign up. (Passcode 9763.)

Thanks so much for all the support you’ve offered so far…whether it’s ad support, memberships, or kind words. We’re excited to launch on January 26!

Happy New Year,

Linda Formichelli
