That’s why a lot of the time, your audience is only part of the value equation. The truth is that the board game hobby is tiny, and so most reviewers have small audiences. How many people are reading your stuff? I think that this sounds a lot more daunting than it really is. This gave me enough credibility to start asking to review physical copies of each game for reviews that I call “Rulebook Reviews.” I got started by reading rulebook PDFs for free via Twitter via “Rulebook Preview” series. For me, I saw that there wasn’t anybody writing about rulebook quality. A lot of the times, the answer is focusing on a particular type of game: solo games, euro games, family games, etc. This refers to what makes your reviews unique. The first thing you need to think about is how you are adding value to a board game creator. But you might not want to after you read this article. You can be a board game reviewer who gets sent free games from board game companies to review, even if you have very little or no tabletop game experience.
