Americans have gotten used to asking certain questions over the last three months. Chief among them: “What the hell is going on?” “Why are they doing this?” “How is this legal?” “Do they want everybody to die?” And, most commonly, “Who’s going to stop this?” Congress, the Supreme Court, the Democrats, Wall Street, and the entire American legal system have all shown little interest or ability in trying to stop the Trump Administration’s non-stop assault on America’s institutions, but one brave organization has stepped forward to defend America. And it’s the people who brought us games like Tokaido and Wingspan.

Stonemaier Games, the tabletop publisher behind Elizabeth Hargrave’s phenomenon Wingspan and its various spinoffs, has joined a lawsuit over Trump’s tariffs. As they explain in a post on their site, the U.S. based company faces almost $1.5 million in tariffs on products they commissioned from their Chinese printing partners before the tariffs were implemented. Trump’s 145% tariffs on products imported from China will force Stonemaier to pay $14.50 on every $10 they spend on manufacturing. In their post Stonemaier makes no bones about who they blame for the tariffs, decrying “the unchecked authority of the executive branch” and claiming companies like theirs are being “treated like pawns in a political game.”
