Review Policy

Blue Peg, Pink Peg is committed to providing reviews of board games and related media that will be of interest to our listeners and consistent with our brand. If you are interested in having a game reviewed by Blue Peg, Pink Peg, please read over our review policy below. With the new cast living in different parts of the country it presents some unique opportunities and challenges. One of the challenges is making sure games we provide deep dive reviews on make it to Brandon in Albuquerque New Mexico and Christina, Robb and Kevin in Roanoke Virginia and that we can get them played in a timely manner. So, for games you’d like to see us deep dive (provide a thorough overview of the game-talk about components, the rule book, the interaction, game play, and give our office Blue Peg Pink Peg Rating) we have to request two copies. However, we understand that review copies of games can be in short supply so we do mini game reviews (smaller overview) that are handled by one peg and we’d only need one copy to be considered for those.

Unsolicited Review Titles

When sending unsolicited games to us to review, please keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Sending unsolicited copies of games is no guarantee that a game will be reviewed or discussed in the show, on the website, or in another format.
• As a rule we are not in the business of bashing games and prefer to discuss games that excite us rather than titles that we find disappointing. However, we also have a commitment to our audience to be candid and honest with games we discuss. It is that trust that, we hope, makes our reviews valuable to both our audience and our publisher partners – we would rather our listeners avoid a game with which we expect they would have a bad experience.
• If we do choose to play and not review an unsolicited game, we will do our best to provide constructive feedback. That said, submission of an unsolicited game is no guarantee of feedback or of a positive review on any of our platforms, including private discussion with the submitter.
• We are committed to working with publishers to provide reviews in a way that best serves their sales or release timelines. In order to meet these commitments, we will need to receive titles sufficiently in advance to have enough time to play and explore the title.
• As a general rule, provide review copies at least a month before any release or other sales deadlines, and please contact us to clearly communicate any needs you have in this regard. Blue Peg, Pink Peg does not accept paid reviews.

Guidelines aside, Blue Peg, Pink Peg is committed to growing the hobby, exposing our listener to new and innovative titles, and providing a platform for smaller and up-and-coming publishers and designers to promote their creations. If you have a title or product that you think will be of great interest to our listeners but doesn’t fit within our guidelines, please don’t hesitate to reach out and let us know. It will certainly help if you indicate that you are a listener of the show and understand our audience, style, and content.
