"My hope in the future is for another trade mission to Tokyo that will build upon what we learned to have even more success for the Washington State tabletop business and creators looking to bring their work into Japan." - Nicole Jekich, Ravensburger buff.ly/3KfWifj

“I like looking at a game’s mechanics and wondering, ‘How can I break this?’ I like getting into the nitty gritty, especially on paper. I like knowing how everything works, which makes me a really big pain in Magic the Gathering.” Meet Goblin, an up & coming game designer! buff.ly/dFH2uhu

The trade mission began with our best business clothes for a trip to the US Embassy in Ginza. A panel of ambassadors presented Japanese consumer behavior and current economic impacts to the region, we shared our experience navigating the rules and regulations to sell games in Japan. buff.ly/3KfWifj
