Dear Mr. Brandon,
I have been frustrated that Toys R Us only stocks the lowest quality boardgames. I would buy many games from you if you would carry good ones but your buyers insist overplayed \'standards\' like Monopoly, Battleship, Risk and Sorry. These games are, for lack of a better word, Crap.
If you want to encourage people to repeatedly buy games, don\'t sell these ever again. They are available everywhere (eg. Walmart) but give people the impression that boardgames suck.
Check out Boardgamegeek.com which rates boardgames. Do you sell any game in the top 10 boardgames there? Nope. In the top 100?? Come on! Monopoly ranks 12,657. Sorry is at 12, 647. Battleship is 12 648. and Risk is the best game at 11 518. The best game and only playable game in your entire selection is Settlers of Catan which rates 210.
I wish I could spend money in your store and I will if you stock games in the top 100. (Note: I have no association with boardgamegeek.com except that I, and every other serious boardgamer checks it and if a game in\'t in the top 500...it\'s not on my shelf.)
Cheers,
David Kohn
