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.

I would like a refund please. I bought from your website.
What’s the estimated delivery time for Europe and Italy? Because this situation in now covering US but we don’t know what will happen in the next weeks, so please try to speed it up as soon as possible.
Thank you for the update, as a citizen of the US, this isnt your fault and I hope I speak for most when I say: keep the updates coming, they are always appreciated. Particularly in the face of our nightmare government.
Hello, I backed my table around October of 2023 and have not received any shipping updates on this except for the community updates that have been put out. Is it safe to say at this point that you have no estimation on when these products will be delivered? This has been a very frustrating process backing this project and I would appreciate any information you’re able to provide.
I’m concerned about the idea that you’re going to hold the tables and “monitor” the situation. With all due respect (and also with an understanding that you’ve rightly delayed manufacture to address quality concerns), we are already well beyond a year past the original proposed delivery date. One of the risks of running a business is that with a new/different administration, circumstances may change and become less advantageous, but after all of this time, I hope your priority is to deliver the promised product to your incredibly patient customers as soon as possible—regardless of whether or not it’s advantageous to your bottom line. With that said, I truly feel bad for the situation in which you find yourselves, and wish Yarro Studios all the best. I just REALLY want my table.
