While the rest of the world laughs at our pathetic Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers crapfest boardgames, one American company is actually making decent and respectable games. This company is Fantasy Flight Games. Incorporated in 1995 as Fantasy Flight Publishing, they started out printing graphic novels in a tiny operation. They almost went under a couple of times, until the book publisher decided to wing out a game called Twilight Imperium. Floodgates opened, and the company continually puts out quality materials and Board Games.
Another thing FFG is known for is destroying rainforests, because practically everything they produce that isn't a straight-up RPG makes extensive use of cardboard tokens and counters for as many gameplay mechanics as possible. They also have a fondness for non-standard specialist dice which are only useful in the game they came with, by virtue of using a limited set of unevenly distributed symbols instead of numbers.
As of 14th November 2014, FFG has been bought out by Asmodee (Source: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/138631-Fantasy-Flight-Games-Acquired-by-European-Asmodee-in-Board-Game-Merger)
They also are known for not proofreading their RPG materials beyond running them through spellcheck. Seriously, these things make English teachers queasy.
