Who doesn't love Board Games!?

We will each make a Board Game themed Pocket Letter for our 1 partner. We're going for "Classic" Board Games here so think Scrabble, Pictionary, Bingo, Monopoly, Candy Land, Chess, Checkers, Clue, Sorry, Trivial Pursuit, Life, Trouble, Chinese Checkers, Chutes and Ladders, etc. Also, we'll extend this to other 'classic' games like Uno, Yahtzee, Connect Four, Dominoes, and regular playing cards.

Pretty much any commonly-known game is fine; just don't go for really rare games unless listed on your partner's profile!

These Pocket Letters should include:

  • Fully decorated front of a 9-pocket page
  • Lightly decorated back (not just white paper)
  • A letter talking about the board games your partner likes/if you like the same/what you discovered about the board games while making the PL/etc.
  • At least 3 little goodies tucked into the pockets. Goodies don't have to be game-themed, but should be profile-based. Common goodies include: fun paperclips, washi tape samples, stickers, smashbook items, tea packets, etc.

When folded, PLs fit into regular business sized envies, but are often too bulky/fragile for simple mailing; check your postage requirements! The link above and the internet in general has lots of inspiration for PLs.

I don't expect there will be an issue, since this is a group swap, but I will manually screen participants. Your profile must be filled out well and any or all low ratings must be adequately explained.

Recap:

  • 1 Board Games themed PL to 1 partner
  • Containing 1 letter and 3+ profile-based goodies

I'm confused. if the treats we send are profile based, why the board game theme?

The PL is decorated in a board game theme because I like board games! And other people do too. The PL swaps I host are for fully decorated PLs, not just goodies in a 9-pocket page. Once the goodies are "pick-pocketed" out, the PL should still look marvelous, with every pocket decorated.

Goodies can be board game-themed but don't have to be. Goodies are profile-based because I hate pink and want goodies I will like. :) So, it's all basically about me! Just kidding, haha!

Hope this cleared up your questions. Let me know if you have more, or want to clarify anything. :)
