So What’s Your Game?
We’ve been very hard at work for the last few months completing design on our great new game, The Game of Networking, and I’m so excited to say we anticipate it being available to ship in September! It’s been such a long time in coming, I feel like I’ve thought of nothing but game instructions and goal possibilities for the last few weeks. We’ve held a few really successful test runs with individuals of all ages and life stages, so I’m really looking forward to sharing the experience with all of you. Please take a moment to look at the article on page 2, and be sure to check out the game’s new Web site, located here.
With summer coming to an end, I’m finding myself doing more than just working on the game, though. I am preparing for yet another trip to Africa, just as the games are being sent out to all of you who are ordering. I go into detail below about this second half of the project, along with a few other recent notes of interest.
I trust you all will enjoy the rest of your summer. I encourage you to forward newsworthy articles or ideas for future editions. Feedback and article ideas can be emailed to newsletter@flowork.com at anytime to be evaluated for placement in the next suitable edition.
