Today's board game deals
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Skaventide | $265 $220 at Amazon
Save $45 - The latest edition for Age of Sigmar is available to pre-order, and you can already get it for a much lower price ahead of this year's Prime Day board game deals. I've not seen it for less anywhere else. I did question whether it was too good to be true at first because it's sold by a third party through Amazon, but the store has consistently good reviews so you should be safe with it.
⭐ UK price: £160 £127.99 at Magic Madhouse
Buy it if:
✅ You want to get into Age of Sigmar
✅ You're keen to collect Stormcast or Skaven

Earth | $49.99 $38 at Amazon

Prime Day board game deals: FAQs
When do Prime Day board game deals start?
Amazon has confirmed that Prime Day 2024 will take place July 16 through July 17. So, like previous years, Prime Day runs across two days. That said, not all the best board game deals are reserved for the Prime Day period, so it's worth swinging back here to scope out all the early savings and discounts. In fact, Amazon made it clear that the discounts would start rolling out from June in honor of the event's 10th anniversary.
When do Prime Day board game deals end?
Despite its name, Prime Day lasts for 48 hours as opposed to 24. So, when the event starts, you’ll have until midnight the next day to take advantage of all the best Prime Day board game deals.
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 is exclusive to Prime members. While this is a bit of a pain in the side for those who don’t have a subscription, it is a nice bit of exclusivity for those already signed up.
Of course, you do have alternatives if you still want to save money on your favorite board games. To jump on the Prime Day hype, some retailers run 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 useful workaround too.
Get a free 30-day trial of Prime
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 Black Friday, 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.
Does MTG go on sale during Prime Day?
Many TCGs, including Magic: The Gathering, can see significant discounts during the Prime Day sale event. Last year, for example, we saw price reductions of up to 45% on products from 2023 Magic: The Gathering sets like MTG Lord of the Rings and WIlds of Eldraine.
What to expect from Prime Day board game deals 2024
There are a wide variety of titles that can wind up included in the selection of Prime Day board game deals, no matter what genre or price range they are. So, whether you like chill puzzle games like Azul or like to turn your friends against each other with some good ol’ social deduction à la Werewolf, you should find a bargain or two worth pursuing.
While they may go on sale intermittently through the year anyway, the best party board games are particularly strong candidates for good Prime Day discounts. They tend to be on the more inexpensive side to begin with so they make for great little impulse buys. These are great to add to your collection just in time for Summer too, as simpler games are perfect for a bit of post-BBQ playtime with family or to bring along to a picnic with friends.
On the complete other end of the spectrum, Prime Day is also a good time to pick up more premium hobby board games like Gloomhaven. While you might struggle to justify adding a board game with a $50+ price tag to your basket normally, once you can score a solid bargain on it, it’s an ideal opportunity to cross it off your board game collection wishlist.
Additionally, there’s a good chance that you’ll score some of the best D&D books on a discount too. However, it is worth noting that some of the D&D core rulebooks will technically be out-of-date by this point. Of course, that won’t impede upon your plans to run a campaign according to 5E 2014 rules (or to just treat the old rulebooks to a place in your bookshelf) but if you really want to be up to date, make sure you’re picking up the revised 2024 editions.
Naturally, Prime Day board game deals aren't the only things worth looking into. The sales event also has a lot of other tech at massively reduced prices, including Prime Day laptop deals and Prime Day TV deals. If you want to keep your focus on tabletop though, don't miss the top board games for adults.
