Board game companies have been hit hard by the rising US-China tariffs. With many of the best board game publishers taking to the web to air their grievances over the sudden and extortionate nature of the levy changes, some have now decided to take things a step further. After an outpouring of perceived injustices against the board game industry last week, publishers are getting together to sue US President Trump over the tariff hikes currently obliterating the board game industry.
We've already seen Spirit Island publisher Greater Than Games shuttering after board game experts, like Jamey Stegmaier of Wingspan publisher Stonemaier Games, had only just begun to consider the devastating impact the changes would likely render if the tariffs were not corrected. In the most recent post on the Stonemaier Games website, Jamey has announced the company will be joining a lawsuit to "challenge the unchecked authority of the executive branch to impose tariffs".
