Dear backers and customers,
We want to take a moment to update you on the current tariff situation and how it is affecting the Gamefold project.
As many of you may know, the United States recently imposed tariffs of up to 145% on goods imported from China. This has more than doubled the original production cost of each table. The impact has been significant across many industries, and like others, we have been directly affected.
We completely understand your concerns and frustrations, and we want you to know that we hear you.
You might be wondering, “What if you had shipped sooner?” It is a fair question. The honest answer is that we chose to address some early design flaws. Not because we were being overly picky, but because we explored several design solutions that required careful testing and verification before moving forward. While this did delay shipping, we strongly believe it was the right decision to ensure quality.
That said, production has not stopped.
We currently have two containers full of Gamefold tables arriving in the US in the next two weeks, with more on the way. International orders are already shipping out, and we are continuing to produce and hold United States orders as we monitor the evolving tariff situation and wait for more stable conditions.
The current tariff situation is frustrating and unpredictable, but we are exploring every possible solution. This includes alternate sourcing, long-term production strategies, and cost management to keep moving forward without compromising the experience you backed.
Thank you for your patience, your support, and your belief in this project. We are doing everything we can to deliver the Gamefold you have been waiting for.
More updates coming soon.

So what about the EU update? Still nothing either
Hello @everyone,
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and concerns. We know this situation has been frustrating for many of you, and we really appreciate your patience as we work through it. We’re doing everything we can to make things right and get all orders delivered.
Just to clarify, the current issue only affects US orders. That’s why international orders are continuing as usual, since they don’t go through the US from China. When we say international, we mean any order outside the United States.
There’s no exact timeline yet for when US orders will move forward, but we’re actively working on solutions to avoid long delays. US orders continue to be produced, and we’ll keep you updated with any progress or changes as soon as we have them.
As for shipping confirmation emails for US orders that got dispatched, there was a recent change on the logistics side, and the team is currently working on sending those out. Thanks for bearing with us while that gets sorted.
We also appreciate everyone who’s shared helpful ideas. Please know we are considering all possible options and are still fully committed to getting every order delivered, no exceptions.
For refund inquiries, please email us at support@yarrostudios.com so we can review your case based on our refund policy. You can also reach out there if you need to update your shipping address or have any other questions/concerns.
Thanks again for sticking with us.
