Posting quickly from my phone. Will fix post formatting later.
I was excited to read about World Book Day. What a fabulous idea – giving out free books to non-readers. I particularly liked the participation angle, where people volunteer to hand out (supplied) books in their area.
And then I thought, omg, we could do that with games. Maybe find a cardgame or three, solid 7s or better, good gateway games. Raise some $$, get publisher support and wham! Free games!
Support it with a website with designer profiles and next game recommendations, as well as links to BGG for the detail.
We should do this!

Sounds a bit like Free Comic Day, which works a treat!
