These high ticket board games are not like Candy Land, or Parcheesi. Nemesis has multiple characters you can play, each has different abilities, there are multiple scenarios, different maps, as well as different enemies to face.

Monster Hunter plays a lot like the video game, it has beautifully sculpted miniatures. Your character advances in levels as you play different adventures. You can upgrade your gear.

HeroQuest (you may be familiar with this one from the late 80s / early 90s) has a ton of miniatures, and terrain/scenery. It has multiple quests, which allow for character advancement.

Of the games I listed I think only Nemesis and Gloomhaven are actually $150 or over. The rest are in the $120-130 range.

A lot of the higher end games are more in the $100 bracket.

Let me introduce you to Gloomhaven, or HeroQuest, or Nemesis, Lords of Ragnarok, Monster Hunter.

I will post this here too, since you double posted.

This thought process is going kill small businesses that cannot absorb tariffs. If Walmart sell an item that I also sell in my shop and Walmart keeps the item the same price it was before the tariffs, but I have to raise my price, where do you think people are going to buy?

Let us use Pokemon cards as an example. Packs are about $4.49. Typical keystone markup dictates we are paying ~$2.25 per pack (I wish I was paying that little for pokemon). But now there is a tariff of 50% and the manufacturer wants to pass that cost along to the consumer, so I am now paying $3.37 a pack, so if I want to keystone I need to sell at $6.75, while Walmart absorbs the cost and sells at $4.49. That does not look like too much.

But what about a $150 board game? I am now selling it at $225 and Walmart still has it at $150, I look like the greedy bastard trying to milk my customers.
