What an amazing feeling to get recognition for something I worked on such a long time. My first board game is nominated for the best 2-player game of the year!
This nomination is a quality stamp. I already get orders from people that were thinking of buying Day & Night because they liked the design, but they thought the game would be less interesting. I'm thinking of ordering stickers to put them on boxes. Also, in every email to shops/distributor we can reference to the nomination.
Besides that, the nomination is big promotion! I also got emails from shops that are interested in buying Day & Night because of the nomination, and I'm sure distributors will try to contact me too.
And of course, it's very good for my name as a designer (multi media). Yes, I will put it on my CV ;).
