In this screen-infested world we live in, sometimes it’s nice to unplug and play a game that doesn’t require electricity. Board games are now more fun and versatile than ever, providing anywhere between a few minute’s and a whole month’s worth of entertainment for you, your friends, family, or even an entire party. In fact, with the rise of solo board games, you don’t even need a group at all. The only drawback is that this non-digital pastime can be pricy. Thankfully, Prime members can score huge board game discounts thanks to Prime Day 2024.
You can see all the board games on sale here. Or, if you prefer a curated list, we've picked through the deals and highlighted the best of the bunch below.

Is Prime Day a Good Time to Buy Board Games?
As someone at IGN who covers both deals and board games, I can tell you there are only really two times per year when you're guaranteed to find excellent deals on board games. Those times are Prime Day and Black Friday. And while you can't go wrong buying board games on Black Friday, you also don't want to miss the opportunity to pick up killer board game and card game deals during Prime Day – assuming you're a Prime member.
The discounts listed above represent some of the best-ever deals we've seen on many of the games. You're not likely to find better deals even if you wait for Black Friday. And by then, you'll have no doubt missed out on opportunities to play these games with friends and family. So I'd definitely recommend picking up anything that looks like a good buy during Prime Day. If you're on the fence, check Camelcamelcamel, a site that tracks price history for items on Amazon. You'll be able to see when and if the price has ever gone lower, on board games or any item you're considering pick up this Prime Day.
