The first Barnes & Noble Casual Game Gatherings, weekly events announced for 57 stores in March (see “Barnes & Noble Plans 'Casual Game Gatherings'”), may be only the beginning.  “After evaluating this program, B&N hopes to include more of these events in the future, perhaps expanding into more stores,” a spokesperson for Publisher Services Inc., the distributor involved in the program, told ICv2.  “But no specific event programs are finalized or approved.”

The initial program, slated for around 9% of B&N’s locations, has been given a good chance of success by careful selection of the participation stores, which “…were hand-picked by the B&N management as a test assortment of stores that they believed had the best chance at success and implementation of the program,” according to the PSI spokesperson.

ICv2 has also been provided a full list of stores participating in the March events, which follows below.
