Board Game Sale at Amazon: Buy 1, Get 1 Half Off

Amazon is running a terrific “Buy 1, Get 1 Half Off” sale on popular items like books, movies, and games. (Please ignore Amazon's confusing language that makes it sound like you have to buy two items at regular price – that's not the case). The sale includes all three of the Fourth Wing books, but it also has a bunch of excellent board games in it, many of which are already on sale. You can shop the whole sale here, or read on for some of the standout board games in the sale.

Board Games for Adults

Tons of the best board games are eligible for the sale, including recent(ish) classics like Azul, Catan, Carcassonne, Pandemic and the like. Plus there are tons of bigger, longer, deeper selections on sale, like Twilight Imperium, Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, and the Lord of the Rings, as well as many more strategy board game.

Classic and Family Board Games

If your shelf could use some more timeless classic board games or family board games to entertain your guests, you’ll find plenty of those in the sale as well. We’re talking board games for kids like Mouse Trap and Guess Who, as well as Monopoly Junior, which makes that interminable old standby mercifully short in play time. And if you want to commune with the spirits of the dead, there’s that old family classic Ouija, which is only kind of a board game, but I’m including it anyway.

There are a lot more games on sale as well, plus expansions for many of the games listed above. There’s a lot to sift through, and that’s before you even start thinking about the movies and books you can mix and match to get the discount. So feel free to peruse the sale at your leisure and pick out whichever items you want.
