It's sweater season, and that means I can think of nothing better than curling up with something new to play thanks to this week's board game deals. This time of year is great for tabletop discounts, so it's only gonna get better from here.
To make sure you're getting the best possible value for money, I've been rounding up all the board game deals I think are worth your attention. That includes everything from Gwent to Nemesis, which is currently $101.15 at Amazon rather than the usual $160. As for the UK, Battle of Hoth (the highly anticipated new wargame) is currently £37.99 at Zatu, down from £49.99. That's an exceptional price for such a new game.
This is just the tip of the iceberg too. Alongside these price-cuts on the best board games, I've also included some tips further down the page to help you take advantage of any savings. What makes a good board game deal, and what should you look out for? The GamesRadar+ team and I have been doing this for over six years, so we've got you covered with all the intel you could possibly need.
October 10, 2025: This page has been updated with a wealth of new offers for both the US and UK sections.

How we find board game deals
There are a lot of offers out there, so how can you be sure we're bringing you the very best discounts? Well, I'm glad you asked. The way in which we find board game deals is important to the GamesRadar+ team and I, and it's a similar methodology to how we test board games.
Here's a breakdown of how it all works:
Board game deals FAQ
How do I know if it's a good board game deal?
Board games are often discounted, and it isn't an average day in the office without something like Catan or Pandemic enjoying a reduction. However, that doesn't mean all board game deals are created equal. Most of the time, these 'savings' are actually pretty standard.
That makes it worth checking price history sites such as CamelCamelCamel to ensure you're getting maximum value for money. These will let you know a product's price history, its cheapest point, and what the average cost is. That helps give you a more rounded picture on whether a price cut is actually worthwhile.
That's certainly how the team and I identify good board game deals from week to week, and we'll also include this information in our write-ups.
Where will I find good board game deals?
If you're on the prowl for the most tempting board game deals, I'd always recommend starting with Amazon. While this may seem like a copout, the retail giant is consistently excellent where discounts (and variety) are concerned.
That doesn't mean you should ignore everything else, though. Small, independent stores like Miniature Market in the US or Magic Madhouse in the UK have a habit of sneaking solid prices through the door... especially where hobby games are concerned.
Here are the retailers I'd keep an eye on:
USA
- Amazon: Best for variety
- Miniature Market: Brilliant for hobby or wargames
- Walmart: Good savings on family games
- Target: Stocks hobby and classic games
UK
- Amazon: Most reliable for variety
- Magic Madhouse: Best for hobby games
- Zatu: Great across the board
- Very: Save on a wide range of games
- Wayland Games: Great for wargames
- John Lewis: Classic family board games
Should you wait until Black Friday or Prime Day?
Although sales events like Black Friday and Prime Day are some of the best opportunities to save on board game deals, you don't need to hold off until they roll around. That's because you can snag some truly excellent offers (with a few lowest-ever prices) from week to week if you know where to look. While the biggest hobby games such as Twilight Imperium are unlikely to hit record lows until tentpole sales including the annual Black Friday board game deals or Prime Day board game deals, plenty of other great games get aggressive discounts all year round.
The key is making sure you're actually getting a good discount... hence why I'll always recommend running a product through free price comparison software like CamelCamelCamel. They'll tell you a product's average sale value, its biggest discount to date, and whether this particular offer is worth your time.
