Whether you want to spend quality time with your loved ones or give them memorable gifts, board games are always a great choice. However, modern board games can be quite expensive, especially if you’re looking for more recent releases. Thanks to the Amazon Prime Day deals, you can expand your collection or pick up some great potential gifts at low prices.

An enjoyable board game that can get as strategic as you want, Ticket to Ride is a perfect game for a family evening. While best enjoyed in a group of four, Ticket to Ride can be quite competitive when played between a duo. Each step requires you to decide between multiple actions, and to win you’ll have to make the best decision possible.

Catan

Regular Price: $59.99

October Amazon Prime Day price: $29.99

Settlers of Catan is a fun family game until someone rolls a seven on their dice. This is my favorite strategy game of all time, and there’s no better feeling than watching your strategy come good (or perform miserably due to bad luck). Catan is also a relatively easy game for board game beginners, and there are numerous expansions to increase the scope for replayability.

Red Rising

Regular Price: $24.99

October Amazon Prime Day price: $8.99

Red Rising board game

Based on the popular book series by Pierce Brown, Red Rising lets you play as one of the powerful houses and establish yourself as the top dog. The core gameplay revolves around playing your cards right and outsmarting your opponents. There are several references from the book series of the same name that help you relate to the original lore. Red Rising also has an automa system that lets you have fun on your own.

Pandemic

Regular Price: $39.99

October Amazon Prime Day price: $25.64

While most board games would pit you against one another, Pandemic is different. It’s a co-op experience where you attempt to defeat the game itself by preventing another mass disease outbreak. The job is easier said than done, as not everything will be under your control. The aim is to carefully play your cards in coordination with your mate to stop a disease before it can grow into an ugly manifestation. Make sure to check out the different versions of Pandemic as well while the Amazon Prime Day sale is live.

7 Wonders

Regular Price: $59.99

October Amazon Prime Day price: $37.99

You’re one of the seven greatest cities in the world, but can you be the best? That’s exactly what you’ll have to do in order to win in 7 Wonders. The core strategy involves you having to manage your drafted cards carefully to build your military might through different ages. But you’ll also have to keep track of how your opponents are doing to have increased chances of victory. While the base game requires at least three players, 7 Wonders also has a Duel version.

Splendor

Regular Price: $39.99

October Amazon Prime Day price: $22.49

It’s not an easy task being a jewel merchant in the Renaissance era, especially when you have to face competition from your buddies. Splendor requires you to own different mines, use them to own jewels, and have the highest prestige points. But owning every mine isn’t possible, as you’ll have to use the jewels that are dealt to you. Splendor offers unlimited hours of replayability since there’s no one fixed way of winning a game. It’s an amazing game in groups, or you can play with your partner (don’t get overly competitive).

Everdell Collector’s Edition

Regular Price: $99.99

October Amazon Prime Day price: $59.99

Everdell is one of the most beautiful board games I have ever played. Putting aside the strategic gameplay, the game board, cards, and the big tree make Everdell one of the best gifting options. Thanks to the latest deal, you can get the Collector’s Edition for the price of Standard. But you get the Legend expansion, Premium tokens, and more as part of your collection.

Dixit

Regular Price: $39.99

October Amazon Prime Day price: $29.99

If you’re looking to add a board game that hones your creativity, Dixit it is. Every turn, you and your mates will be dealt a set of cards with extremely imaginative graphic designs. While one person takes the role of the riddler, other players have to guess. While your objective as the riddler is to ensure that all players don’t think the correct card, you’ll only get points if at least one person picks the right card. Thanks to the open-ended nature of the cards, you’ll have to dive deep into the depths of your imagination. You can also pick up a Disney version of Dixit at the same Price as the base edition.

Twilight Imperium

Regular Price: $164.99

October Amazon Prime Day price: $119.99

One of the best sci-fi strategy games of all time, Twilight Imperium puts you in charge of different civilizations with the objective of reaching the top. Each civilization has certain unique powers and abilities, and you’ll want to strategize accordingly. Reaching to the top has no one set way – trade, form an alliance, or wage a war if you wish. The 4th edition has a great deal as part of Prime Day. Do note that Twilight Imperium takes many hours to finish a game, so you might have to play in multiple sessions.

Exploding Kittens

Regular Price: $20

October Amazon Prime Day price: $12.99

Exploding Kittens card game

If you have a party coming up, you should add Exploding Kittens to your collection. A card-based game, Exploding Kittens has one sole objective – don’t get blown up. To avoid being blown up, you’ll have to play your cards carefully. Additionally, you’ll also have to plan and try to get your friends blown up (no, not literally), for the last one standing is declared as a winner. Exploding Kittens is one of the best party games. It’s fun, easy to learn, and extremely chaotic at every turn.

Mysterium

Regular Price: $54.99

October Amazon Prime Day price: $32.99

With the spooky season coming up soon, Mysterium should be high on your wishlist. Like Pandemic, Mysterium is a co-op title, forcing you to work with your friends to unravel the mystery. Expect plenty of spooks and creeps as you utilize the cryptic clues to crack open your investigation. Mysterium allows you to play at your desired difficulty and offers plenty of replayability with different story endings, suspects, and more.

The Witcher Old World Deluxe Edition

Regular Price: $190.95

October Amazon Prime Day price: $142.99

If you’re a big Witcher fan like me (who owns the books and the games), maybe it’s time for you to add the grand board game. Like Geralt in the stories and the games, you get to explore the vast land and create your adventures. You play with the help of your deck and the different cards, and it’s all about balancing your actions. Sometimes, it might just be worth holding on to your cards to create a move with greater synergy, which will help you get more rewards. Even if you’re just someone who loves RPGs and old-school grand strategy board games, The Witcher Old World is worth a place in your collection.
