If you want a real solution to this problem, then you should probably print a really flashy-looking poster with the basic steps of gameplay listed (1. do this 2. do that 3. win!). Make this poster big, attractive, use lots of pictures and minimal text and it could prove to be both an advertisement as well as a way to get players understanding your game… If you do this right, I would expect it to work infinitely better than something that players need to /read/.

I’m not sure if I’ll have time to make it over the bridge to the show, but your booth will be one of the first I visit if I’m there. Good luck!

Plus, you’re just trying to astroturf Thief, obv.

P.S. I hope you meant garret and not garrote.

But you should totally come to PAX East too. Last year’s PAX East had a huge indie presence.
