There are massive implications. The board game industry is 98.9% made in China. 145% tariffs … means it is dead – to the USA.

GW – 25% Uk made, but their terrain and printing? China.

Wargames Atlantic and several other companies have already said they are moving ; WA to the UK, several others to Canada.

GW will likely re-open its Canada office. Pretty much has to, or ship from UK to Canada.

It’s really unfortunate to see the US become an international pariah. But here we are.

Kickstarter – I’ve read many that are just throwing their hands up vis a vis the US. Can’t deliver at these rates, no way. Some comments from backers are they will wait the 45 more months until the insanity stops…
