Essen continues to bear fruit a month later: Pegasus Spiel has replied that they would like to see Lost for Words, our quick playing word finding game. They have also said that they would like to see Clunatics – Huch! & Friends currently has first right of refusal but it’s always good to have a back up plan!
As a point of interest, they would also have been interested in Train of Thought, but only if they could obtain worldwide rights to the game. Nice to know!
This is a testament to the power of sell sheets. Our contact at Pegasus went back to his editorial group with no prototype, no rule set…just our sell sheets. Armed only with a single 8.5″ x 11″ piece of paper (single sided, to boot!), he was able to convince his company to take a look at our games. Pretty powerful stuff, when you think about it.
Designer 101 Hint: If you’re not using sell sheets in your pitch process, you’re missing out on a key component of salesmanship – always leave them something tangible.
