14 days agoThis is by no means a new problem, but every time I hear about it, it is only an issue in board games sold on Amazon, eBay, and other sites that sell on behalf of third party sellers. I have never heard of anyone getting a knock off game from a reputable board game store (online or brick-and-mortar). Those stores buy games from publishers, either directly or via a distributor (and I fear the day that distributors start dealing in knock-offs).
At this point, many hobbyists know what stores to buy from, but people who are not glued to hobby discussions do not. Unfortunately, I am not sure what publishers or customers can do about it except ask for politicians to hold Amazon accountable for trafficking fake goods.
You are almost 2000 years old? Wow, how do you keep up with the fashion century to century?
