Pitch Tank with Jay Cormier

Have you ever wondered what it looks like to pitch a game to a publisher? TokenCon Special Guest Jay Cormier, board game designer and publisher, is ready to show you how it works. Selected game developers will give their pitch to Jay as he reviews their sell sheets and gives them feedback as a prospective game publisher. As a pioneer of pitch sheets in the board game industry, Jay has given pitches to all the major publishers during his career and he’s going to share his tips and tricks in this game show style session with developers hoping to catch his eye to be recognized as the lucky game of the night at the end of the session.

Participate in Pitch Tank

TokenCon will be accepting 6 sell sheets and games to participate in the Pitch Tank event taking place on Saturday at 6:00 in the Indie Zone with Special Guest Jay Cormier. Each participant will get up to 10 min of customized personal feedback about their sheet, pitch, and game from Jay during the session. To participate, you will need to submit the sell sheet that you’ll be pitching in advance. The developers that are selected will be notified in advance with the specific information they’ll need to participate at the Pitch Tank session.

Sell Sheet Information

Remember that the purpose of a sell sheet is to entice a publisher to want to buy your game. Your sell sheet should have the following information:

• The name of the game / the game logo
• A brief description of the theme and mechanics
• A brief description of the game flow / what the players do on a turn
• A list of the components
• Your contact information
• Photo(s) of the game setup and in progress
