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 don’t understand… This should only affect orders that have not already been paid for and had shipping paid for. We paid for the orders and paid for the shipping like a year ago.
Will those of us who have already paid be expected to pay more prior to shipping?
Where can I find out what batch of orders I’m in? I ordered my table well over a year ago and thought I was part of the Kickstarter group.
Thank you for the update! Sorry your having to navigate the ridiculous economic situation the US is in right now. Do the best you can with what you got!
When you say you are continuing to produce and hold united states orders, does that mean that united states orders are not being shipped right now?
