Hello, this is Ignacy Trzewiczek from Portal Games...
| | | Hello, hello This is Ignacy Trzewiczek from Portal Games, and it's time for another letter from Poland. I hope you had a great week — I certainly did! Let me tell you all about it.
This week, I was in Copenhagen for the Asmodee Nordic Retailer Day, presenting Bohemians to retailers and media. Since Jasper, the designer of Bohemians, lives in Copenhagen, it was a perfect opportunity to invite him to the event to help promote the game.
And let me tell you — that was a brilliant idea.
| | Little did I know just how famous and well-known Jasper is in Denmark. My ego took a hit, but my heart was full of joy every time a retailer or journalist approached our booth, completely ignored me, and went straight to Jasper to congratulate him on the game. So many people already knew about Bohemians — many had even played prototype versions before — and most just came over to check out the final copy and tell Jasper how proud they were that the game is launching at Essen.
My facial expression said it all:
"Dude, what the hell..." Jasper just shrugged and said something like,
"Yeah, I've done quite a lot of playtesting at local cons."
It was absolutely amazing. If I had known how many people had already heard about the game, how many had played it in different stages, and how much groundwork Jasper had laid over the past two or three years while designing Bohemians, I would have printed an extra 1,000 copies just for Denmark.
So yeah — my week was fantastic. My ego was crushed, nobody wanted to talk to me… but Jasper? He and Bohemians were the stars of the show. And honestly, I couldn't be more optimistic about the game's release in Denmark.
| | After the show, I took a short break with my family to visit Legoland — and let's just say my credit card is now insisting we print more Bohemians to cover the cost of that trip.
Love you guys. I'm super tired, but super happy.
Talk to you next week,
