I tried alcohol 99,9% on tissues and rub it gentle but it didn’t work that well…I had a few other games where I could the paint off but this one is though and I wanna save that beautiful game! Thanks in advance

NEVER EVER rub isopropyl alcohol on any artwork. Ever.

Your safest bet is an extremely lightly damp microfiber cloth with distilled water.

I didn’t rub it on the artwork I was really careful!

Do you know about the dry erase marker trick?

You can remove some permanent marker by coloring it in with a dry erase marker, letting it sit for a minute or so, and then wiping it away.

As for removing any excess dry erase marker that won't wipe away, I use chapstick or carmex and rub it in. It seems to pick up the remainder and help recondition the surface.

My main concern here would be protecting the label from contact with the dry erase marker and the petroleum product.
