Tony Kvale (owner of Kvale Good Natured Games) believes there are numerous enthusiasts of traditional board games who will be first drawn to the popular concepts of the company's planned games. They will then come to find an appreciation for the impact of responsible environmental choices. The mission of Kvale Good Natured Games includes awakening consumers to production measures in reducing, reusing and recycling (The 3 Rs) that can be adopted by more manufacturers, including those outside of the game publishing business.
