Board game publishers say supply chain and manufacturing issues have forced them to raise prices.
"I’ve got party games, word games," Sehnert said. "Game playing is where you can take risks, you can learn how to take risks without ever really having to risk anything in your life. It’s just a game."
"I think, if anything, game playing teaches you lots of patience, and we’ve certainly had to be patient with shipping delays and manufacturing delays," Sehnert said. Atlas Games officials say they have seen a surge in business driven in part by successful crowdsourcing campaigns on Kickstarter and increased web store sales.
But it’s not just the rising prices. It’s also taking games longer to travel to the states. According to Flexport Research’s weekly Ocean Timeliness Indicator, the average time it takes goods to get from Asia to the U.S. is 111 days, which is nearing a record high.
