Amazon\u2019s October version of Prime Day<\/a> has officially kicked off, and the retailer has already dropped hefty discounts on tons of classic board games<\/a>. One of the best deals brings the latest version of Catan back to its lowest-ever price, but you’ll find plenty more discounts from big publishers like Asmodee and Hasbro. In other words, now’s a great time to bulk up your tabletop collection and plan some fall game nights. <\/p>\n

We’re Tracking the Best Board Game Deals at Amazon This Week<\/p>\n

Note: Most of these deals are exclusive to Prime members. You can sign up for that here<\/a>. Some discounts are also lightning deals, meaning they will only be available for as long as stock lasts. <\/p>\n

Starting at the top, the latest version of Settlers of Catan, one of the most iconic strategy games<\/a> of all time, has dropped to its lowest price of the year with a 40% discount. This resource management game is pretty accessible to any experience level, making it an easy choice for casual game nights. Other classic board games<\/a> like Ticket to Ride have dropped to their lowest price since the previous Prime Day. <\/p>\n

For more veteran tabletop players, we\u2019d recommend something like Pandemic, which features longer co-op<\/a> campaigns. If you\u2019re just looking for something quick<\/a> and cheap, you can get classic Candy Land or the quick-playing Monopoly Deal card game for under $15. <\/p>\n

Themed Editions Also on Sale<\/p>\n

Amazon is also dropping deals on specific themed editions of board games. These are typically based on more casual and family-friendly versions of classic games, like the Bluey version of Monopoly Jr, offering the incentive of a franchise tie-in to bring your family to the game night table.<\/p>\n

Some of these themes also offer a little something extra for the adults, like the Duel for Middle-Earth board game we consider one of the best Lord of the Rings games<\/a> money can buy. Though according to our reviewer<\/a>, Matt Thrower, it\u2019s only really worth it if you don\u2019t already own the original 7 Wonders Duel game. <\/p>\n

Should You Wait for Lower Prices? <\/p>\n

Board games that are already on sale are unlikely to see lower prices, even during Black Friday. However, I do think we\u2019ll see new discounts on heavy-hitters like Wingspan<\/a> that are currently missing from this list. We\u2019ve also yet to see solid deals on trading card games and tabletop franchises like Warhammer. <\/p>\n
