""Like many tabletop publishers, we started print runs of products before the President took office, and now we face an unprecedented $14.50 tariff tax for every $10 we spent on manufacturing with our trusted long-term partner in China.""
""This may vary based on the publisher; many publishers use crowdfunding for pre-sales; some smaller publishers aren't in distribution yet, making them particularly vulnerable.""
The Trump administration's tariffs have raised costs for small businesses, especially tabletop game publishers, who filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of these tariffs. They argue that the tariffs, declared under national emergencies, exceed presidential powers. Stonemaier Games highlighted their significant financial burden due to a 145% tariff, projecting nearly $1.5 million in payments. Many small publishers depend on international manufacturing, showcasing the broader implications of these tariffs on the gaming industry.
