McMiLLER is proud to offer some of the most sustainable toys and games on the market. However, due to a lot of ‘greenwashing’ in the toy and game industry we understand phrases like eco, green, and sustainable can get confusing. So we’ve decided to keep it simple - a bit like us :)

Fire In The Hole, UpRoar (and all forthcoming McMiLLER products) are 100% plastic free.

We’ve used our joint creativity to find materials from ‘above the soil’ - like cardboard, paper, felt, natural rubber and 100% organic cotton, to replace the need for materials found below the soil that are harmful to our enviroment - like oil, which is used to make plastic.

Fire In The Hole has a zero tolerance policy for plastic: no plastic-lamination, no shrink-wrap and no plastic components!

All elements of the game are made out of biodegradable materials: instead of plastic cannonballs we opted for natural wool felt ones, the eye patches are made of 100% organic cotton and natural rubber. The cards, box and pop-up ship are made out of durable FSC certified card stock with a protective water-based varnish.

One of our main goals with Fire In The Hole was to show that you can make an impressive, show-stopping, super cool looking game that you can play over and over again, without relying on plastics.

Most card games have a thin plastic coating on each individual card and box - this is to avoid the product getting scuffed over time.

We felt that the McMiLLER customer would be happy with a few scuffs and scratches over time in exchange for a completely plastic-free, biodegradable, carbon-neutral and compostable card game, so we decided to protect each copy of UpRoar with a water-based varnish.

This game is more than durable enough to last for generations, but if you find yourself all laughed-out, we recommend gifting it to someone else - or just chuck it in the compost bin.
