This year's Memorial Day board game deals are fast approaching, but that doesn't mean we're stuck in limbo waiting for kickoff. Rather, the discounts have already begun.

Sure, they might not be called Memorial Day board game deals, but I'd wager that plenty of these will be hit with a Memorial Day sticker if they hang around. Plus, we're seeing a few record low prices before the event is even here. That's worth shouting about, in my opinion.

Want an example? Oh, go on then. You can currently get an enviable $10 off the 2nd Edition of Parks, bringing it down to $49.99 at Miniature Market from $60. In much the same way, the phenomenal social deduction game Snakesss is just $8.85 at Amazon, down from $20. Neither has ever been cheaper so far as I can tell, so 2025's Memorial Day board game deals have a lot to live up to.

Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye out for savings on the best board games as Memorial Day approaches. Keep your eyes on this guide when it's here, because it'll be getting regular updates.

Memorial Day board game deals FAQ

When will Memorial Day board game deals begin?

This year's Memorial Day will take place on May 26, 2025. Don't assume there won't be savings before that point, though. There are always board game deals flying around no matter the time of year, and if previous sales are anything to go by, some of the current offerings will be given a Memorial Day badge when the time comes.

As with many sales, this one is likely to start earlier than its specified date as well. Keep an eye out at least a couple of days beforehand to make the most of these reductions.

How do I know if it's a good Memorial Day board game deal?

It isn't uncommon to see board games get a price cut, so how can you tell if the saving is actually good or not? Well, the GamesRadar+ team and I always check with price comparison sites like CamelCamelCamel. This tells us the item's lowest ever price, its average cost over time, and more. We can use that information to fill you in on whether a board game discount is actually a good deal at all.

Beware of retailers like Amazon jacking up prices just before the event as well. It tends to pull stunts like this so the eventual reduction (which is basically the same as it's been for weeks) looks bigger.

Wondering how we know if a deal is any good or not? We have a few techniques here at GamesRadar+ that we use to ensure best practice. It's a bit like how we test board games; there's a lot of double-checking, comparisons, and cross-references to make sure we're giving you the best, most up-to-date info. Our team will usually prioritize games we have personal experience with as well, allowing us to be more authoritative about whether you should buy the item in general.

Here's a peek behind the curtain at how it all works:

🛒 We browse trusted retailers personally
These offers aren't found and spat out by AI or mindless programs; a bunch of board game-loving human beings have spent a significant amount of time trawling through offers at the most reliable, reputable stores. We trust our instincts and hard-won experience too, not someone else's.

💲 We use price-matching software
To see whether a discount is actually worth considering, we go to price comparison sites like CamelCamelCamel. This lets us know what the product's lowest ever price was, the average cost, and when it traditionally recieves a reduction.

🏪 We compare and contrast with other retailers
We don't just call it a day once we've stumbled upon a deal; we then check its price at other stores to make sure you can't get the same thing for less elsewhere. Only then will we add it to our roundup.
