2. FAQ

Prime Day board game deals have come to an end for another year, and although October's Big Deal Days event was a surprisingly strong showing, those offers have all but dried up. In other words, move fast if anything you've had your eye on is still available for less.

We've seen so many fantastic tabletop games arrive this year, and throughout the rest of the sales season, we'll be keeping a close eye on the best board games to bring you any must-have savings we find post-Prime Day board game deals. We do traditionally see some sizable price drops during these sales events, after all, so we'll hopefully keep getting more reductions as November approaches.

As the GamesRadar+ team and I search for the most tempting offers, you'll find a helpful roundup just below of the best Prime Day board game deals currently around. As an extra assist, I've also pulled together all the advice you'll need to take advantage of board game deals.

Prime Day board game deals: FAQs

When do Prime Day board game deals end?

Amazon's Prime Day board game deals run from October 7-8, 2025, which means that they'll come to an end at 11:59pm on October 8. Be sure to have hit checkout before then to avoid any disappointment!

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.

You can experience all of the Prime Day goodness without paying a dime thanks to Amazon’s 30-day free trial of Prime. Alongside having access to the best Prime Day board game deals, you’ll also be able to stream Prime Video during your trial.

Even if Prime winds up not being your thing, there’s no problem with backing out. Provided you cancel your subscription before your trial ends, you’ll incur absolutely no cost at all.

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.

What to expect from Prime Day board game deals 2025

best Amazon Prime Day deals

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:

🎲 Hobby games will get good price cuts, but you'll need to go looking for them
Prime Day is a good time to pick up hobby board games (like Spirit Island) because they're known to enjoy bigger price cuts. These reductions may not be as good as Black Friday, but they're still very reasonable. Unfortunately, you may have to look for them yourself (or check back here) because Amazon will be flooded with cheap tat during the sale.

👪 Family and party games usually get good deals
While they may go on sale intermittently throughout the year as is, party board games are particularly strong candidates for Prime Day discounts. They tend to be on the more inexpensive side to begin with, so make for great impulse buys. Family games such as Ticket to Ride or Catan are almost always reduced in cost too. Just make sure you check price comparison sites like CamelCamelCamel to make sure you're actually getting a good deal!

💲 Watch out for coupons
There have been plenty of bonus reductions at Amazon thanks to coupons over the last couple of years, and that's how the retailer gets around the competition. Keep an eye out for those tick boxes near the price.

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.


Naturally, Prime Day board game deals aren't the only things worth looking into this October. The sales event also has a lot of tech at massively reduced prices, including Prime Day gaming laptop deals and Prime Day Meta Quest deals.
