5. FAQTabletop gaming isn’t the cheapest hobby, so board game deals are essential if you want to expand your collection without breaking the bank. To save you time as well as money, the GamesRadar+ team and I have rounded up the most tempting discounts of the month here.A reduction that immediately caught my eye was for the new Undaunted (Unfaunted 2200: Callisto), for example. The highly-anticipated wargame is now $59.99 at Miniature Market instead of $85, and from what I can tell, that’s a record low price. Although the UK equivalent isn’t quite as cheap (it’s been a couple of quid less before now), you can still get it for a very reasonable £48.34 at Amazon rather than the RRP of £65.That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Alongside these price-cuts, I’ve also included some hints and 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? Is it better to wait until the end-of-year sales, or events like Black Friday? Our team’s been doing this for almost six years, so we’ve got you covered with all the intel you could possibly need.Recent updatesOctober 10: This guide has now been updated with new deals and a revamped ‘how we find deals’ section.

Save $40 – Although it was a little cheaper earlier in the month as part of Prime Big Deal Days, this current offer on the well-received co-op game is worth considering because Spirit Island more commonly hovers around $66.

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.🏪 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.
