I wonder how the world managed to keep on turning when the Chinese weren't manufacturing everything

Nobody said it's impossible. The retail price of boardgames will just double to triple. Which will then cause the market to shrink, demand to fall, and even less economies of scale. Just what we want for the hobby.

Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!
