Asmodee USA has announced that it will increase prices for games across all channels starting next year. The reasons given include price increases for materials and with regard to logistics.
Some publishers had previously announced that they would have to increase the prices for board games due to the current situation on the world market, for example Pegasus Spiele. Now Asmodee USA is also reacting and on Friday announced price increases with effect from February 2022.
From Catan to Star Wars: Everything is more expensive
The price increases affect various game titles across all channels, as the message says. The price increase varies: According to the US subsidiary, selected titles from Catan, Days of Wonder, Edge, Fantasy Flight Games, Libellud, Lookout Games, Mixlore, Oy Marektoy, Pearl Games, Space Cowboys, Z-Man Games and are affected Zygomatic.
This means that core brands are also becoming more expensive, such as parts from the successful Marvel Champions series and the Star Wars series.Roleplaying games (Pen & Paper), for which the Egde studios, founded in 2020, are responsible. In total, over 270 game titles released in the United States are affected.
In individual cases, the price increases are up to ten US dollars based on the manufacturer's recommended retail price. For example, the price of Small World increases from around 50 to around 60 dollars.
Asmodee USA cites increases in raw material and transport costs last year as reasons. With the price increases of some products Asmodee USA says it ensures it provides the “excellent distribution, sales and marketing services” that customers expect.
Dealers can order the affected titles at the current RRP until February 20, 2022. It is the “last chance to buy” at the current prices, they say Asmodee U.S. before the increases would take effect on February 21, 2022.
Asmodee Germany recently discussed the global challenges in the logistics sector at the press presentation. There have been no official reports of price increases yet, although there were already rumors in the summer of increases in purchase prices of around 7,5 percent. However, given the situation, there is also likely to be an impact on the prices of Asmodee games in this country. Other publishers have already communicated this openly.
