Sustainability

We know that we cannot save the world on our own, but we are doing our best to make our contribution to a better future. We attach great importance to using sustainable resources.

 

We have been working for several years to avoid plastic step by step and to use wood and cardboard as efficiently as possible. For example, we have always had 99% of our game pieces made from wood (the vast majority from a German producer, the family-run company Seidenstücker) and have no plans to switch to plastic. We have also been addressing the issues of “outer packaging” for cards and boxes, zip bags and plastic inserts for some time now. So you will see fewer and fewer plastic inserts in our shop in future. Even if the alternatives are more expensive, we don’t want to abdicate responsibility and continue to “litter” our games with plastic.

 

 

Here is a brief overview of where we usually manufacture what:

 

• • ASS Altenburger in Germany produces the largest number of games for us overall. These include the Carcassonne basic game, Carcassonne Junior, Carcassonne Jäger & Sammler, as well as Hadara, Ohne Furcht und Adel and Paleo.

• • Ludo Fact in Germany manufactures the games in the Stone Age series, the Carcassonne expansions and the Marco Polo series for us.

• • NSF in den Niederlanden has produced the Carcassonne BigBox for us, as well as some special orders such as Carcassonne Amazonas.

• • Ludo Fact USA has, as mentioned above, the majority of the EN-Carcassonne base games in production.

 

What else is part of sustainability?

 

We also take care to optimize transport routes to events, trade fairs and meetings. The Bahncard and public transport subscriptions/job bikes for our team are therefore not just incentives, but also an important part of our philosophy.

Away from our operations, we support campaigns such as the Boardgame Road and many more interesting projects.
