I just checked a random premium book from Nosolorol from my shelf. A Spanish
company
is listed as the printer and the inner credits identify the book as printed in
Spain.

Boardgames are massively produced in China, though, with some exceptions. I
keep
thinking of buying this horse-themed board game (Winners Circle) but the only
edition
worth it is Korean and costs more than a kidney transplant - including the
price of
having the mafia kidnap a kid and extract his kidney for you.
