Even though Amazon's sales event is still a few days away, early Prime Day board game deals are already starting to slip through - discounts of up to 61% are available to snatch up ahead of the weekend.

Top of the list of early Prime Day board game deals is a massive discount on Blockbuster, now available for $8.53 at Amazon instead of $21.99. This is comfortably one of the best board games we've played in a while, and it's always a go-to for parties. Similarly, the excellent family game 7 Wonders Architects has hit an all-time low price; it's now $39.99 at Amazon (was $49.99), giving us a reduction of 20% in total. 

We've listed more of these offers below, and they're some of the top Prime Day gaming deals we've seen so far.
