This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Brexit vs the Boardgame market

It probably won't affect much purchases as, IME, most people that regularly buy games are already able to afford the price increases.

But i noticed, post Brexit, companies like FFG instigating eye watering price increases. Most of their board games are barely shy of a hundred pounds easily.

Can this be healthy?

What does brexit have to do with what an American company charges for their games?

The value of the pound went down to something closer to reality, so now we all feel poorer.

But freer. :D

How has Brexit affected shipping costs for Kickstarters?

FFG is owned by a french company now, I think, Asmodee.

And it matters if they are selling in Britain because Brexit!

For the worse I should imagine. Prices have gone up across the board.
