For game publishers seeking premium quality with sustainable credentials, Sappi introduces Arboro, a board game that showcases the versatility of modern paper solutions. Created as a Sappi original concept, Arboro was developed in partnership with board game specialists Game Brewer and produced by Cartamundi, one of the world’s largest playing card and board game manufacturers. Featuring illustrations by French artist Jules Dubost, the game demonstrates how different paper grades can work in harmony to create an exceptional gaming experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crafting the perfect play<\/h3>\n

Every component of Arboro has been meticulously engineered using specific paper grades for optimal performance. The game box and board feature Fusion Embossed papers that minimise light reflection while adding tactical depth to the design. Action cards utilise Algro Design Duo, delivering superior handling qualities and vivid colours that maintain their impact even after repeated play. The game’s paper money, produced with Magno Matt, offers an ideal balance of durability and tactile feel, while the rulebook’s Magno Volume paper ensures outstanding readability with a natural, uncoated finish.<\/p>\n

\"Sappi<\/p>\n

Innovation meets sustainability<\/h3>\n

Arboro’s gameplay mirrors its production philosophy, removing luck-based elements in favour of pure strategy. Players compete and cooperate to master sustainable paper production\u2014managing forests, water resources, and energy production while meeting diverse customer demands. This immersive experience not only educates players about paper industry dynamics but demonstrates how thoughtful design and sustainable production can coexist.<\/p>\n

“Game publishers are increasingly looking for sustainable production methods without compromising quality,”<\/em> says Conor Evers, Sappi Europe’s Head of Marketing. “With Arboro, we’re demonstrating how innovative paper solutions can enhance both the playing experience and environmental credentials of modern board games.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Sappi<\/p>\n

Setting new industry standards<\/h3>\n

Beyond its role as an engaging strategy game, Arboro proves that sustainable game production can achieve premium quality through carefully selected paper grades. Each component demonstrates specific technical advantages\u2014from fast ink drying and efficient processing to superior lamination properties and consistent colour reproduction across all elements. Created and manufactured locally in Europe and with all paper components of the game being FSC\u2122-certified (FSC\u2122 C015022), this game offers game publishers a blueprint for sustainable, high-quality production.<\/p>\n
