[edit] Summary

Box image

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a board game cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the publisher of the board game. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of board game covers

to illustrate the board game in question,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

[edit] Fair use rationale

This image has been checked by a third party against the articles in which it appears. It meets the following fair-use criteria:-

No free alternative possible
- If this is a promotional image from the company, then any "user-supplied" image whose sole purpose was clearly to represent the same copyrighted box/item art (and nothing else, and with no significant artistic input- i.e. a "mechanical" reproduction, whether by scanner or camera) would likely have the same restrictions.
Is being used to demonstrate the product and/or its marketing
- Serves to demonstrate the product being discussed rather than being used in a solely decorative manner.
Does not deprive company of ability to make money in any way
Is not being used in misleading or misrepresentative manner
