Tariffs Effect on Boardgame Companies

 

If the tariffs continue, things will get bad for the hobby game industry. A tariff of 10% could be absorbed, even a 20% one with some stress. A 35% tariff inflicts serious damage on the industry but a 146% one is devastating. In this interview, Price Johnson of Cephalofair Games says his company may have to quit distributing its games in the US due to the tariffs. One shipment costs $840,000 to manufacture and Cephalofair has to pay another estimated $873,000 in taxes to bring it into the country, effectively doubling the cost, with no additional benefit to the company.
