⚙️ ARCTICA – Reveal #13: Production with Panda & Environmental Commitment 🐼
https://gamefound.com/en/projects/thisway/arctica
We’re super proud to be working once again with Panda Game Manufacturing — an FSC-certified factory and one of the leading board game manufacturers committed to reducing its environmental impact. With ARCTICA, a game inspired by Arctic wildlife and its fragile ecosystem, we knew we wanted to go further when it came to sustainability.

Take a look behind the scenes of ARCTICA’s production with Panda Game Manufacturing and discover some of the choices we’ve made to reduce the game’s environmental impact: FSC-certified materials, molded pulp instead of plastic for the inserts and board bases, paper packaging, wooden components, and more 🌍

But our commitment doesn’t stop with production! We’re also revealing a special ARCTICA Postcard Set, with 90% of the proceeds going toward protecting polar bears, as well as our upcoming membership in 1% for the Planet. 🐻‍❄️💙

And one more important announcement: ARCTICA will officially launch on Gamefound on October 6th! 🐋

We also have some good news for our First Edition backers who ordered the Conversion Kit: as promised, we now have an insert solution for you! 🤟
Designed by Pablo Royo, this 3D insert can accommodate several configurations, including for backers who also picked up the Collector Guild boards (RELICS support is also coming soon). And since the Standard and Collector boxes are exactly the same size, these files will work for all First Edition backers.
