I am currently producing a boxed board game intended for a specific category of parties -- bridal showers and anniversary parties mostly. The typical end customer would be someone hosting or planning such an event.
My question is -- would full-line game distributors consider carrying such a game? Or would they consider it too much of a niche product? The game is of course outstanding for its niche! :)
Another way to think about it is: what sorts of retailers buy from game distributors? Is it only the classic game store, where the typical customer is a 13-year-old boy? Or do game distributors address a wider market, such as party supply stores, small bookstores, etc?
