THIS IS THE
WRONG GAME

This is not the game we originally wanted to release. Best Frenemies was all ready to launch on Kickstarter but tariffs made manufacturing impossible without doubling the price for our backers. So we decided to lean into the chaos and create something that can still be manufactured now.

We made Tariff! to be a fun, satirical, and slightly painful game that captures our experience of the absurdity of real-world tariffs. We’ll still launch Best Frenemies when we can but until then, we’re laughing through the pain.

FAQs

  • Yes. Duh.

  • We’re trying to bring it to Kickstarter this year! Join the waitlist to be the first to know when it happens.

  • Yep. It’s never too early to start teaching your kids about ridiculous geopolitics, devastating economic policy and the fact that no matter how hard they try in life, someone is going to come along and screw them.

  • 54 beautifully illustrated cards and a rulebook. 

  • There is. It’s a fast-paced, chaotic game which is just as fun the 100th time as the 1st.

  • Nah, super quick. The rules can be explained to a new group in about 3 minutes (if they’re actually listening).

  • Only a million times. Well, maybe not a million. But a lot, that’s for sure. We’ve gone through version after version after version, refining the game to total perfection.

  • Yep. Assuming your language is English… otherwise no.

  • Sign up to our mailing list!

  • Honestly, we have no idea. No one knows what the tariffs will be next week let alone when we launch. But even with tariffs, we’re going to keep the game at a reasonable price.

  • Best Frenemies is roughly six times the size and that’s before you add the accessories. It therefore costs a lot more to make. Because tariffs then work as a percentage of that cost, they add a huge amount to Best Frenemies. Tariff! is much cheaper to manufacture and should only incur an extra few dollars, allowing us to still make and sell the game for a reasonable price.
