If you were into board games, you'd probably have felt it. Just about every board game release and reprint has had (and are still having) significant delays thanks to the pandemic.

I think in terms of "how fragile the world is", board games don't really rank, respecfully. Minor inconvenience, but we carry on.

This is the point though, having plenty of slack in the economy (board games, theme parks, etc) means that we would have to fall a long way before people started feeling hungry.

The number of homeless people I see in the streets has visibility doubled, but I'm sure the marginal availability of board games is a sign they aren't feeling any hungrier than usual.

Folks are also hording these for secondary market resell. Margins are good and a resellers can easily eat half the stock or more for secondary markets.
