4. July's best deals
If you thought we'd seen the last of 2025's Prime Day board game deals, you thought wrong. Amazon just revealed that the sale will be making a comeback for a couple of days in October (under the name 'Big Deal Days'), kicking off the sales season with a bang. Considering how many great tabletop games have hit the shelves since then, it should be one to watch.
Rather than being stretched out over four days like the summer equivalent, this event is being limited to two. That means you have slightly less time to take advantage of discounts on the best board games, which is why the GamesRadar+ team and I will be here to find you the most tempting offers as and when they appear. We'll be keeping an eye on new trendsetters (like Fate of the Fellowship and Vantage) throughout next month's Prime Day board game deals in particular.
In the meantime, I've pulled together all the advice I can on taking advantage of Big Deal Days in 2025. These recommendations should ensure you're ready for October's top board game deals.

What to expect from Prime Day board game deals 2025
There's often an impressive range of titles that wind up in Amazon's Prime Day board game deals, covering a broad array of genres and pricing. Regardless of whether you like chill puzzle games or prefer to turn your friends against each other with some old-fashioned social deduction, you should find a bargain or two worth pursuing.
What exactly can you expect, though? I've been covering sales like this for close to seven years now, so here are my thoughts on the upcoming event:
In terms of whether we'll see savings from recent releases (such as Gwent), I think a lot of it comes down to how recently they hit shelves. If the game in question came out toward the first half of the year, chances are pretty good. Finspan will absolutely get a price cut come Prime Day, for example - actually, it already has.
However, if the game has only just come out or is from a smaller developer, it's a bit more touch and go. That's because Amazon doesn't always get brand-new titles in straight away, and if it does, they'll usually cost more than they do at independent retailers. The likes of Miniature Market in the US or the UK's Magic Madhouse traditionally slash the cost of big-hitters from day one, though, so keep an eye on them for games that are hot off the presses.
Prime Day board game deals: FAQs
When do Prime Day board game deals begin?
Amazon just announced that we'll be getting Prime Day board game deals from October 7-8, 2025. Or at least, Amazon UK will. We don't know if the same is true for Amazon US, but I sincerely doubt the sale would take place at different times in other parts of the world; they never have before now.
Do I need a Prime membership for Prime Day board game deals?
You will need to have a Prime membership to get access to Prime Day board game deals, as the event and its discounts are exclusive to Prime members. While this a sweet perk for those who are already subscribed to Amazon Prime, it is a bit of a bummer for those who aren't.
Of course, you do have alternatives if you still want to save money on your favorite board games. To capitalize on the Prime Day hype, some retailers run similar sales around the same time. If you’re lucky (and keep a close eye out) you might even come across even better deals than those on Amazon. Obviously, getting a free trial of Prime is a helpful workaround too.
Should I wait for Black Friday board game deals instead?
While certain games do hit their lowest ever prices during the November sales, that doesn’t mean it’s not worth checking out Prime Day sales too. While the price drops are less extreme and fewer between than during the annual Black Friday board game deals, you should still see a couple of stand-out deals.
If you do come across a discounted item during Prime Day and aren’t sure if you should hold out until Black Friday for a better price, we recommend referencing its price history using tools like CamelCamelCamel to give you a fuller picture of the sale trends.
