Currently, both Amazon and Target are offering a deal where you get 50% off a second board game when you buy one at full price. This applies to a range of popular titles, including Catan, Splendor, and Horrified. Many classic and family-friendly games like Scrabble and Mouse Trap are also included.
Which Board Games Will Be Discounted?
Black Friday board game deals are so extensive that almost every type of game is likely to be included (pardon the pun). If this year follows past trends, you can expect discounts on nearly every board game available.
Last year, we saw discounts ranging from 20% to as much as 65% off. Popular games like Azul and Pandemic saw significant price drops. Family favorites such as Exploding Kittens and UNO were also discounted. Even horror-themed games like Alien: Fate of the Nostromo and Arkham Horror: The Card Game were part of the sales. Whatever your gaming preferences, you're likely to find appealing deals.
For Cyber Monday last year, Amazon featured a "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" offer. Since many games were already on sale, this effectively doubled the savings. Keep an eye out for similar stacking opportunities during Black Friday 2025.
Where to Find Board Game Sales
The primary retailers to watch for board game deals are Amazon, Walmart, and Target. Barnes and Noble is another excellent option for discounts. With Amazon’s Black Friday sale starting on November 20 this year, it’s a great place to begin your search.
