This year's Memorial Day board game deals are here at last, and that means there are plenty of savings to be had if you're quick.
Sure, they might not be called Memorial Day board game deals, but I've been tracking their prices and am pretty confident they're sticking around across the weekend - they've all remained stable over the past few days. Want an example? Oh, go on then. One of our favorite co-op games, Zombicide, is now $84.95 at Amazon - a $15 reduction. In much the same way, you can currently get around $15 off the excellent Slay the Spire board game, as it's currently $100 at Miniature Market rather than the usual $114.99.
There's plenty more where that came from, too - I'll be keeping an eye out for savings on the best board games as Memorial Day winds on.

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.
Where will I find good Memorial Day board game deals?
Want to go it alone? I've listed a few of the retailers that the GamesRadar+ team and I use on a weekly basis, and they don't tend to let us down in terms of value for money. Here are some suggestions, including reasons for why I'm recommending them in the first place.
- Amazon: Best variety and discounts
- Miniature Market: Brilliant for hobby games
- Walmart: Find savings on family games
- Target: Stocks a mix of hobby and classic games
How we find Memorial Day board game deals
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.
