Board game design studio and website Cardboard Edison surveyed the 350 board game publishers in their database on the impact of the new China tariffs on their future plans, and received responses from 61 publishers that manufactured all or some of their games in China.  The respondents included 27 small publishers (10 games or less released), 20 medium publishers (between 10 and 49 titles), and 4 large publishers, with 50 or more released titles.

The survey was conducted from April 9-11, while tariffs were above 100% and on the move (see "Erratic U.S. Tariff Policy"), and Cardboard Edison has reported the results.  Among the results were a number of indicators of what the board and card game businesses will look like for the trade going forward.

• Some 62% of board game publishers that responded said they will reduce the number of releases they have planned.
• Around 90% of board game publishers said they will raise prices. 
• About two-thirds said they will shrink print runs.
• Over half said they are delaying products, with some indicating that they will store products already manufactured in China, hoping for a change in the situation.

While there's been a general understanding that the tariffs will have big impacts on the board game business, this is the first data on what that might mean.
