Are you and your little one often in the car together? Try out the "Mom Went to the Grocery Store" game. It's a fantastic way to boost both your and your child's memory and imagination! The game gets more exciting with more players. Each person takes a turn to add an item to the shopping list, starting with "Mom went to the grocery store and bought...". The next player then has to remember and repeat the entire list in the correct order, adding their own item at the end. Whoever can't recall the full list in order is out.  Comment below if you know this game already!

After nearly 9 YEARS, we are shipping one of our games to a nationwide retailer for the first time today! Things I've had to learn to get here (just to name a few): ✅ What the heck is an EDI? ✅ How do I drive a forklift? ✅ I need a barcode for how many things? ✅ Remind me what FOB is again. ✅ What's the difference between two-way and four-way pallets? ✅ What's a cover price? ✅ Oh, I need to rewrap every pallet because I forgot what? Moral of the story - this is hard. But for anyone in the self-publishing world, it's not impossible. It will take a ton of time and failures and a bit of "right place, right time," but it can be done. And no matter how great your product is, the most important feature is your personal perseverance and persistence. And yes, Crated with Love has a long, long way to go, but in an arena full of obstacles, you have to celebrate each little win. Now, it's on to sell-through rate! :) Stay tuned for more updates. #retailer #boardgames #boardgame #toyindustry #gameindustry #cardgame #retailers #cpg #consumergoods #bigbox

Slots pros at operators... are you binning holiday games after the season or even periodically clearing the decks of "low performing" games? Why? Cause your aggregator is making you? Reason one of many not to use this lazy man option. (You small guys who have to, no offense, not everyone can afford the tireless energy of dealing with X number of providers directly!) Slots player have games they feel lucky at, enjoy, any time of the year. One of my clients made $49,471 NGR on Xmas and Halloween slots... in AUGUST. In non-Christian countries. Drop in the bucket, sure, but every drop is welcome! We have INFINITE shelf space. The incremental cost of leaving that one pathetic horrible slot we all hate (and more importantly, that data shows players don't stay on either) is NOTHING. Don't PROMOTE the POS to other players (even if it is "on theme")--never promote the 50% of your slots that fall under a mean spin per player factor. But kill it? It MAY mean that that ONE player looking for that ONE slot where she got super lucky that ONE time can't find it. And looks for it elsewhere. Bye bye player. If you can't figure out how to manage your inventory of 4k+ slots, let me know, I'll give you some data-driven tips. To almost quote Pink Floyd: "Hey! Casino! Leave those slots alone!"
