From the games I bought at Essen this year, I noticed a new trend. Maybe it isn't new, just that I don't buy many games and I hadn't noticed it. Some game publishers have stopped using plastic in their games. There is no more shrink wrap. Cards are not wrapped in transparent plastic. Being environmentally friendly is a good thing.
Fifty
Fifty comes with no shrink wrap. The box top and bottom are held together by two pieces of sticky tape, one on each side.
You don't need to worry about carefully removing the sticky tape. There is no need to worry about tearing the box surface due to the glue being too strong. Nor is there to worry about leaving some residue on the surface of the box. There is a line drawn across the sticky tape, and you are supposed to cut it there.
Cards are wrapped in semi-transparent paper.
Another game Allegra
Grande has the same treatment. I notice that games which no longer have plastic are published in 2024. That is why I am guessing it's a new trend.
