Beating relatives at the board game table is a holiday ritual for many of us. As adults it’s harder to gather people for an evening of tabletop competition, so the holidays are the perfect pretext to convince everyone to sit down, learn a new title, and show off a little.
Amazon’s Black Friday event has slashed prices across a broad swath of tabletop offerings — from mainstream favorites to indie crowd-funded curiosities — and many of those discounts persist through the weekend into Cyber Monday. Whether you pick up a familiar classic or try a buzzy new release, these deals are a great way to expand your collection before the next family gathering.
Crowdfunded projects often bring the boldest designs to the table, and this year’s sales reflect that. From miniature-driven brawlers like Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City to compact indie card games such as Twisted Cryptids, discounts range from modest markdowns to substantial savings. If you’re hunting for something eccentric, now is a fine moment to buy.
Below are curated deals spanning crowdfunded sensations, modern classics, two-player gems, party staples, and thoughtful strategy games.
