OK, I did some research :
* Poland uses the European PEGI rating for video games. Compared to the German FSK, vendors can still sell it to children who are too young, but the rating seems to be mandatory (what is a problem), as opposed to FSK there FSK18 is equal to unrated. There is no information about the treatment of unrated things.
* There is no whitelist for board-games, so this should be possible without problems. You might still need a EAN number for big vendors, but EAN numbers are much cheaper than rating. Selling it yourself or over geeky shopkeepers who sell dungeons and dragons equipment should even be possible without an EAN number.

afaik, here, in Poland, we don't need ratings for board games. Publisher can use his own rating.

As for PC game, I dont know if indie need those. Definately any major releases need those.

So far I managed to get 1 investor and collect myself around 30k USD. Things are moving slowly forward. Also, I have got 2 invites to showrooms with my board games in upcoming months :)
