Dear Vaulters,
We at Third Man Books http://thirdmanbooks.com/ would like to ask for a little help from our friends, but only if you feel comfortable to do so, of course. Several reviews of Sampson Starkweather’s PAIN: The Board Game http://thirdmanbooks.com/book/pain-the-board-game have been written in journals, blogs, and newspapers. We’ve included a sample below. What we really want, though, is to hear reviews from the people who count— the readers. If you’ve read PAIN, and like the PAIN, could you say a few words at Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25074209-pain and/or Amazon http://www.amazon.com/PAIN-Board-Game-Sampson-Starkweather/dp/0991336127. Ourselves and Sampson really would appreciate the feedback, I mean, Sampson did include his phone number in the book . . .

Took me a while, but I finally made it over to Amazon to do this.
I like the book… I jad a chance to sit and read it… Felt like a eindow to my soul
On it
I posted my review on Amazon.

Consider it done
Is Sampson dead?

The people who count… Maybe I am just a person who listens…. The music on that game was the reason I decided not pursue it… Great concept though!
