You're running out of time to grab some of my all-time favorite board games for less than $25 this Prime Day

Monopoly Go | $19 $9.65 at Walmart
Save $9 - We'll start with an example of why you should exclusively focus on Amazon for Prime Day. Yes, I know, that seems counterintuitive. But rival retailers offer competing discounts, and this is a doozy. If you're a fan of Monopoly but would rather have a version you can easily take with you on the go, don't miss this half price offer.

Buy it if:
✅ You want something portable
✅ You want a quick, accessible game

Don't buy it if:
❌ Monopoly isn't for you

Jabba's Palace: A Love Letter Game | $14.99 $10.99 at Amazon
Save $3 - Got a Star Wars fan in the house? This spin on the classic Love Letters game should suit them well. It's a great travel game that's easy to transport, and its blend of deception and outsmarting your opponent is more compelling than you might think.

Disney Villainous: Introduction to Evil | $29.99 $12.49 at Amazon
Save $15 - The Villainous series is one of my favorites in all of board gaming, and this is the best introduction to it. Want a deeper strategy game? This is it. Seeing as it's normally $26ish, getting such a massive discount is an opportunity too good to miss.

Codenames | $24.99 $14.99 at Amazon
Save $10 - So far as party essentials go, it doesn't get much better than this. Like we pointed out in our Codenames review, this is a modern classic that's supremely pick-up-and-play. It's more commonly priced at $19, so that $10 cut is a bargain.

Buy it if:

It's a solid party option too, be that with friends or family.

Here to Slay | $19.99 $14.99 at Amazon
Save $5 - I wasn't sure what to think of this quirky card game when I first tried it a year or so ago, but I was quickly sold after a round or two. You've got to slay monsters or build up a full party before your rivals in Here to Slay, and it gets surprisingly competitive. Seeing as the average price is $20, a $5 discount isn't bad.

Buy it if:
✅ You want something more competitive
✅ You like a cute vibe

Don't buy it if:
❌ Your friends/family get too competitive

The last record low price was around $10 more than this, so Prime Day has done us a solid with the $25 price cut.

Buy it if:
✅ You're buying for kids or family
✅ You're a fan of Lego and board games

Don't buy it if:
❌ You don't like building games much

It's currently a few dollars less than normal, so now's a good time to try it.

Buy it if:
✅ You need a game for gamers and non-gamers alike
