From a production perspective, for the Card and Board Games industry, the outbreak has had an impact on the production plans of companies in the Card and Board Games industry. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the production and operation of raw materials have been affected, such as the production of various paper, plastic, wood and other raw materials is restricted. This could lead to disruptions in the supply of raw materials for the Card and Board Games industry, affecting the company's production plans. On the other hand, affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, in order to prevent the further spread of the epidemic, the government issued travel restrictions and related isolation policies, which reduced the management efficiency of enterprises in the industry and also affected the company's production plan.

In terms of sales channels, generally speaking, Card and Board Games products are mainly sold in two ways: online and offline.

As a result, online sales of Card and Board Games products have slowed. From the perspective of offline sales channels, due to the epidemic, various specialty stores and retail stores have suffered a huge blow in order to avoid the spread of the epidemic. Most stores are closed. There are three main reasons for its closure. First of all, closing most of the stores is a unified requirement of local government departments. Second, although some enterprises were not required to close by the local government, the safety of employees could not be guaranteed due to insufficient protective materials. The third is that the passenger flow has dropped sharply, and the income is lower than the rent and labor costs of the store, and the business must be closed. As a result, the offline sales channels of Card and Board Games products were impacted, which adversely affected the development of the industry.

The popularity of board game social

Board game socialization, as the name suggests, is a social activity that involves getting to know each other while playing board games. Different from sports or video games, board games pay more attention to the test of multiple ways of thinking, language expression and emotional intelligence, so they are more suitable for young people's social pursuit of fun and competitiveness. With the change of social methods, the reason why board game social is popular among young people is very popular. First of all, because of the fun of the game itself, most board games require a certain strategy and logic, which arouses everyone's interest and makes most people willing to participate in this social mode, which relieves the embarrassment caused by social ice breaking to a certain extent. Secondly, this kind of board game itself is designed for social interaction. The winning or losing of the game itself can be moderately downplayed in the social-oriented scene. Knowing each other and improving understanding is the purpose. Common board game social games include Monopoly, Ludo and so on. In general, with the popularity of board game social networking, the market demand for various card products and chess and card products has increased. This will be one of the important driving factors for the development of the industry.
