Is Brexit impacting the board game market?

[DanCooper]

Do you feel that Brexit is impacting the board game playing community? The price of monopoly has risen on Amazon and I am suspecting that Brexit has played a part. Thoughts on the crisis?

Brexit means brexit?

Are you talking about board game price increasing for peoples in the UK?
This is indeed unavoidable, and board game are not the only product affected.

Or are you talking about some influence on the remaining of the EU?
There might have some, but Covid is probably more a factor here.

At least we got our country back.

Brexit has definitely caused a lot of uncertainty in terms of taxes and delays to imports of produced items. A lot of Kickstarter games I have backed have been delayed, mainly by smaller manufacturers.

Manufacturers of games produced in larger quantities do not seem to have increased prices in the UK significantly yet but pre-orders are falling behind scheduled release dates.

I am expecting prices to rise - not just as a result of Brexit but also a knock on effect of the covid pandemic.
