I have an acquaintance who is a sort of serial entrepreneur, and he has asked me to do some research into the possibility of opening a game store which would deal in board games and RPGs. I have already explained to him that the vast majority of such enterprises fail, that the margins are terrible, and that (to borrow a joke from KoDT) RPGs and board games are more of a niche hobby then model railroading. He still wants numbers and suggestions.So, while I am tracking down research on distributors, contracts, and operation costs, I thought I'd ask the community for some market research:1.) Does anyone have any product suggestions? (beyond the common things such as M:tG, white wolf, Savage Worlds, warhammer, etc?)2.) Smaller companies that have good products you'd like to see carried in (or least available to order) from your local FLGS?3.) Any name suggestions?I may have more questions as I research other aspects of the business, or as he sends them to me.  I appreciate any input anyone has on this (except for "Tell him not do it", which I've already done <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )</blockquote>
