Jason Kimmings is hoping to launch a new boardgames magazine in February 2009 and, if the sample pages I’ve seen are anything to go by, this could be really good. This is what Jason said in a BGG article:
I’m trying to start a new printed review magazine based on Eurogames. Everyone I’ve talked to thinks it’s a great idea and likes the way it looks and reads (including many publishers I met with in Essen). The advert has been running on BGG for a few weeks now and there seems to be lots of people interested enough to click on it and look at the site, but the take-up is depressingly low. As it is a professionally printed product I need a minimum number of subscriptions before it becomes viable and the price has been set low to attract people but it doesn’t seem to be working. I wonder whether people are still interested in a print product anymore when you can get so much here on BGG? Any thoughts would be welcome, especially if you’ve seen the site and decided against it. The site is:
An initial annual subscription for 3 issues is just £10 and I’ve gone ahead and subscribed. Take a look and maybe you’ll like what you see.
