I have designed the perfect STARBUCKS board game...?

It's Patent Pending. The rules have been copywritten. It's beautiful. It's got an edgy, modern -- yet ancient -- look. It's small and portable. It only has 7 parts (and that includes the instructions manual, which is laminated) It can be played by anyone 5 - 95. You can learn to play in 45 seconds (tops) It's inexpensive. The playing pieces are magnetized so they won't get lost. It's encased in plastic for easy cleaning. It has a three-letter name, that means 'family'. It's a strategy game so people will want to sit and play - over and over and over - again How do I show it to a Starbucks executive? (my e-mail is photografr7@yahoo.com) .. and most of all, it can be played silently. But observers may say, "great, wow, good move". But that can't be helped! ... and best of all, there are no words required to read or understand (except for the instructions, which can be printed in 100 languages) - so it can be played at any Starbucks in the world. I applied for patent pending through www.legalzoom.com - cheaper than your local patent attorney, but still not cheap

1. look on mapquest and find "starbucks" in the midst of all those locations one of them will be the starbucks executive board building. call the number, schedule a meeting, and your done!
2. You don't need to copyright a game. There's a site for game designers at: http://www.bgdf.com/tiki-custom_home.php There's a LOT of info there on how to design, produce, and sell your game. The most important thing is to play test your game a lot. Friends and family may not want to give you any negative feedback, so get strangers to try it out. Make sure it's playable before you start soliciting people.
