Now that Fall is closing in and cozy tabletop gaming season is back on the cards, it’s a great time to be seeking out board game deals. Plenty of new titles are on the way for the new season, and many of these are enjoying tempting discounts if you know where to look.
That’s what the GamesRadar+ team and I have spent years doing. If you want to save as much as possible when building you collection, you should find something to suit you in our board game deals roundup. As an example, I’m very tempted by the price cut on Above and Below: Haunted, bringing the game down from $69.99 to $52.99 at Miniature Market. Because it’s got a good amount of buzz surrounding it on fan forums, this is amongst the top board game deals of August… but it’s far from the only one. UK readers are able to get a massive reduction on the Borderlands board game right now, as it’s going for £52.89 at Zatu rather than £115.
This is just the tip of the iceberg too. Alongside these price-cuts on the best board games, our experts and I have also included some tips further down the page to help you take advantage of any savings. What makes a good board game deal, and what should you look out for? Our team’s been doing this for over six years, so we’ve got you covered with all the intel you could possibly need.

US board game deals
1. Star Wars Villainous | $44.99 $22.49 at Amazon
Save $22 – This spin of the Disney Villainous formula whisks us to a galaxy far, far away, and I was pretty keen on it in my Star Wars Villainous review. We’re not seeing a record low price here, but it’s still very reasonable at 50% off the original cost.
Buy it if:
✅ You enjoyed the original Villainous
✅ You’re buying a gift for a SW fan
Don’t buy it if:
❌ You don’t get on with Villainous
Price check:
💲 Target | $22.49

2. Above and Below: Haunted | $69.99 $52.99 at Miniature Market
Save $17 – I’ve not seen this new follow-up to the original Above and Below for less than $59.99, at least according to my price-matching software, so this is an absolute bargain to kick off this week’s board game deals roundup.
Buy it if:
✅ You adore city-building games
✅ You liked the original
Don’t buy it if:
❌ You weren’t hot on the original
Price check:
💲 Amazon | $69.99

3. Suna Valo | $49.95 $39.99 at Miniature Market
Save $10 – This new-ish farming game only just came out last year, so it’s nice to see a $10 price cut bring it closer to impulse-worthy territory.
Buy it if:
✅ You enjoy farm sims
✅ You like like drafting games
Don’t buy it if:
❌ You don’t like economic games
Price check:
💲 Board Game Bliss | $41.78

4. Brass: Birmingham | $79.99 $69.95 at Amazon
Save $10 – This is one of the most highly-rated board games around according to major board game forums, and although we have seen it for less in the past, the average cost is anywhere between $71 and the full MSRP.

5. Tea Garden | $59.95 $47.99 at Miniature Market

Buy it if:

Don’t buy it if:

UK board game deals
1. Fate of the Fellowship | £69.99 £57.50 at Magic Madhouse
Save £12 – This highly anticipated game is becoming increasingly difficult to get hold of due to its popularity (it’s already dropping out of stock at various retailers), so seeing it reduced at Magic Madhouse is eye-catching. Just move quickly, because an even better offer at Wayland Games vanished since last week. As mentioned in our Fate of the Fellowship review, it lives up to the hype.
Buy it if:
✅ You adore LotR
✅ You like the Pandemic system
Don’t buy it if:
❌ You don’t enjoy Pandemic
Price check:
💲 Zavvi | £59.99

2. Borderlands: Mister Torque’s Arena of Badassery | £114.99 £52.89 at Zatu
Save £52 – This Borderlands adaptation is usually quite a hefty investment at full price, so being more than £50 off is noteworthy to say the least. From what I can tell, it’s never been cheaper than £61.99 before now.
Buy it if:
✅ You’re a Borderlands fan
✅ You like mini-filled board games
Don’t buy it if:
❌ You don’t enjoy mini-heavy games

Buy it if:

How we find board game deals
There are a lot of offers out there, so how can you be sure we’re bringing you the very best discounts? Well, I’m glad you asked. The way in which we find board game deals is important to the GamesRadar+ team and I, and it’s a similar methodology to how we test board games.
Here’s a breakdown of how it all works:
🛒 We personally browse trusted retailers
Even though manufacturers and retailers will occasionally tip us off where a sale is concerned, the team and I usually find savings by browsing multiple, reliable stores on a daily basis. We’re looking for offers we’d actually be interested in buying, because we figure they’ll then be of interest to you too.

💲 We always use price-matching software
To make sure a deal is actually good or not, we run it through price comparison software such as CamelCamelCamel. That tells us everything from the item’s average price, its lowest cost, and when it usually gets a saving.
Read more▼
🏪 We compare with rival retailers
Rather than calling it a day when we find a good board game deal, we’ll always check in with competitors to see if you can get the same product for less elsewhere. You’ll find comparisons in every deal block under the ‘price check’ section.

Board game deals FAQ
How do I know if it’s a good board game deal?
Board games are often discounted, and it isn’t an average day in the office without something like Catan or Pandemic enjoying a reduction. However, that doesn’t mean all board game deals are created equal. Most of the time, these ‘savings’ are actually pretty standard.
That makes it worth checking price history sites such as CamelCamelCamel to ensure you’re getting maximum value for money. These will let you know a product’s price history, its cheapest point, and what the average cost is. That helps give you a more rounded picture on whether a price cut is actually worthwhile.
That’s certainly how the team and I identify good board game deals from week to week, and we’ll also include this information in our write-ups.
Where will I find good board game deals?
If you’re on the prowl for the most tempting board game deals, I’d always recommend starting with Amazon. While this may seem like a copout, the retail giant is consistently excellent where discounts (and variety) are concerned.
That doesn’t mean you should ignore everything else, though. Small, independent stores like Miniature Market in the US or Magic Madhouse in the UK have a habit of sneaking solid prices through the door… especially where hobby games are concerned.
Here are the retailers I’d keep an eye on:
USA
– Amazon: Best for variety
– Miniature Market: Brilliant for hobby or wargames
– Walmart: Good savings on family games
– Target: Stocks hobby and classic games
UK
– Amazon: Most reliable for variety
– Magic Madhouse: Best for hobby games
– Zatu: Great across the board
– Very: Save on a wide range of games
– Wayland Games: Great for wargames
– John Lewis: Classic family board games
Should you wait until Black Friday or Prime Day?
Although sales events like Black Friday and Prime Day are some of the best opportunities to save on board game deals, you don’t need to hold off until they roll around. That’s because you can snag some truly excellent offers (with a few lowest-ever prices) from week to week if you know where to look. While the biggest hobby games such as Twilight Imperium are unlikely to hit record lows until tentpole sales including the annual Black Friday board game deals or Prime Day board game deals, plenty of other great games get aggressive discounts all year round.
The key is making sure you’re actually getting a good discount… hence why I’ll always recommend running a product through free price comparison software like CamelCamelCamel. They’ll tell you a product’s average sale value, its biggest discount to date, and whether this particular offer is worth your time.
