Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes

There’s currently not enough industrial capacity in the US to manufacture card games. Simple as that. Trying to do it would likely end up still being more expensive than the tariffs, and probably delay your product.

It seems very unlikely that no one in the entirety of the US has the capacity to make a card game. Do you have some evidence of this?

  The U.S. has a very small industrial capacity for manufacturing tabletop games — especially board games.
  
  “The news is bad from every angle, but especially so for card games and RPGs printed in China,” they said. “The choice seems to be either 1) a massive price hike to pay the new import taxes, or 2) go to a direct sales model that removes the hobby distributors from the equation.”

    This is not a tabletop game, it’s a card game.

    Card games are classed as tabletop games due to the top of the table being the place where they’re played.

    You should check the definition of tabletop… Also the link provided refers directly to the card games.
