"Does x qualify as a game?" Games and play predate our efforts to categorize them. Play came first, and belonged to us as children, and we understood it with instinctual fervor.

I give the same advice for the exact same reason. Build understanding, empathy AND your skills at social interaction, sales and marketing, and, thus, pitching! Key point: for a lower stress but more fruitful time, work a booth where your own games aren’t being sold.
