Board Game: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $5.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $2.20 at volume. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For board game, the drivers are board grade, print method, coating, insert style, magnetic closure, dimensions, material, die-cut style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier pricing shows custom board-game quotes around $5.00 at 500–999 sets and $3.00 at 1,000–1,999, with a separate wholesale supplier example at $42 MSRP / $1.94 wholesale for a simple item; these are consistent with lower-cost factory or distributor routes rather than fully landed U.S. inventory. BoardGamesMaker also publishes bulk price ladders down to $3.50–$4.00 at 500–1,000 units on some product configurations, while industry guides place medium-weight custom board games roughly in the $7–$20 manufacturing range depending on component complexity. Realistic supplier routes are direct factory/OEM quotes from China or Taiwan, import marketplaces, or U.S.-facing wholesale/distribution for already-produced games; price swings are driven most by component count, box size, board stock, print finishes, and whether inserts or magnets are included.
