the fact that you can buy counterfit tabletop games for a fraction of the price on aliexpress shows that there is no way to turn a profit in western printshops.

Play nicely with others here.
Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!
