Board Games are in Trouble, and it's NOT Why You Think | Extra Credits

Описание: 🎮 Enjoying learning about the troubled board game industry? Then, after the show, why not check out our 2026 History Happens Every Day Calendar here: https://bit.ly/ExtraHistory2026Calendar

Three years ago, we talked about how the pandemic threatened the board game industry but now, tariffs, buyouts, and bad business practices are doing the damage. In this video, we will break down how massive distribution shakeups, global manufacturing fragility, and sky-high tariffs are pushing tabletop publishers to the brink. From Alliance’s wild bankruptcy saga to why your favorite games might cost more (or vanish altogether). It’s capitalism, consolidation, and chaos!
