I have looked in the states and the UK is proving to be really expensive.I know China is the place but I cannot seem to find a business who will do it.

Look in the Yellow Pages for a good sized commercial printer. You probably won't be able to find someone who specializes in board games, but a decent printer should be able to produce whatever you need.

There is no reason to out source to China. All you need is a printer for most board games. The U.K. is competitive for printers.
Ravensburger is the leading European Manufacturer. Winning Moves, is a very dynamic successful young company you may want to try as well. Also try, Gibsons.

Don't be put off, you seem very confident and that's a major plus. (KEEP THAT CONFIDENCE UP) Remember this: "(THE MAJORITY) NOBODY LIKES A SUCCESS. It's proven and it's true., but like I said, "the majority only".
You should contact a "patent attorney", and if you are fearful of being asked for money before even looking or listening to your idea, forget that one, and move onto another.
MOST patent attorneys will ask for money up front, but that is THEIR LOSS, because you my friend will find "the RIGHT patent attorney who will SEE that you are onto a great biz, and JUST how FAR he/she can get for you. REMEMBER: THE MORE MONEY "YOU" MAKE, THE MORE MONEY THE PATENT ATTORNEY WILL MAKE"-So, like I say, steer clear of the one's who promise you the best, and to just send them a small fee to START the patent info.-YOU WILL NEVER EVER HAVE TO GIVE MONEY TO A REPUTABLE AND EXCELLENT PATENT ATTORNEY "UP FRONT" TO COVER COSTS,-Those are to be avoided. I have one of the best attorneys in USA (I grew up there, only moved here to UK approx. 5 yrs. ago). and he NEVER, EVER ONCE asked for a single penny until my "idea" had an offer to buy from an independent company. At that point, instead of "just selling out and getting one big payment", the word was out then, and the offers came pouring in from other companies. Only when he (we) were satisfied with the best financial offer, did we negotiate a "Royals Fee" for each one sold to me that sold in Europe and USA!
I hope that works, and I hope your dreams DO NOT get overwhelming, causing you to stop.!!! It's going to take time and patience, but done right, and it will be worth it my friend!
****Just remember my name when you make it "BIG"***_LOL

I reckon you should try Japan, they'll take on any invention if they see a future for it. In the UK you have to go through an agent and the take up rate is very poor. Stay away from an American company who will promise the earth. It will cost in the region of £5,500 and it will go nowhere. The Federal Courts fined them millions of dollars a few years ago but they are still in operation.
