I have been in Europe for almost a month and am now at DAU Barcelona for Devir's 25th anniversary. I have had the great good fortune to hang out with many board gamers and designers on this trip.
And I have heard from them over and over that they are scared to visit the US right now.

Important thread for understanding the next four years impact on the boardgame hobby in the USA.
K! So! We spent this week figuring out how the tariffs, inflation and other bullshit is going to affect business. Time to thread.
For those not in the know, I'm the Director at Hachette Boardgames USA and I import games for foreign publishers and market and sell them in the US.

I’ve been playing the digital implementation of Everdell; loving it. With the Everdell Duo PM closing, I’m eyeing the Complete Edition.
Staving off FOMO, could use some advice @boardgamehottakes.bsky.social. If you could do it all again, go complete? Base game with a few choice ex-pacs?
Go Farshore?
