Spring is about to do that thing that it does and the board game trees are in full bloom. What, you didn't know board games grew on trees? Sweet child, you're about to discover that board games are all around us in spring, just like 'love' in that one song.

I genuinely can't think of a better way to celebrate the changing of the seasons and, by extention, nature in all its splendor than sitting inside playing the best board games hunched over at my kitchen table (Come on, it's made of wood, what more do you want?) That's especially true if I can nab a good board game at a discount. If you're in the market for some board games, too, Amazon has just hatched its Spring Sale and the board game deals are flowing. It's just as well becuase these things are getting darned expensive.

The best deals I've seen so far in the Amazon Spring Sale for US folks have been $13 saved on Red Rising for $10.99, and a tasty $15 discount on Trekking The National Parks for $34.95. There's plenty more savings to be had while you're stuffing your face with chocolate this season, so take a look below for more.

As for the UK, Ticket to Ride is currently only £29.59 meaning you're getting 34% off. Or if economics-based board games are more your thing Catan is currently just £32.27. And there's plenty of other deals, so keep an eye out here. If nothing takes your fancy in the Amazon Spring Sale, we're always curating a list of the best board game deals around from other retailers.

Namiji | ~~$44.99~~ $34.99 at Amazon
Save $10 - Namiji is one of my personal favorites. It's not technically in the spring sale, but its a nature game for sure.
