Hi Sandy! Would like to start out by saying that I bought Cthulhu Wars during the summer after seeing a physical copy in front of me, and I love it! Now I just want all the expansions!

Two questions:

  1. As Cthulhu Wars (along with most other board games) are produced in China, how much information do you have about the situation of the factory workers that produce your products? Labor Law violations, child labor, etc, is this something one can avoid? How much focus is on this (if any) in the general board game community? (I found some information that Hasbro/Mattel don't have the best records on this, but don't want to assume that this then automatically also includes people like Fantasy Flight or you guys.)

  2. The way I understood it, the price for shipping to Europe included VAT. Is this only for EU countries, or do you guys handle the VAT also for European countries not part of the EU?

We have actually visited and inspected the Chinese factories on multiple occasions, so if they have children or political prisoners on the production line, they must have secret rooms on the scale of a Bond supervillain.

Thank you for that image. Do you know if this is standard in the board game industry? I would like to believe that my board gaming hobby does not in general include too much child labor, but this may be wishful thinking.
