How to choose a board game on Prime Day

Potentially, you could simply pick one of the best board games that we’ve listed in the past. We hand picked them all to appeal to a wide range of players and interests so you can’t go wrong with any of these. However, it’s also useful to think about what your aim is with your purchase.

Have a think about who the target audience is. Who are you planning on playing the board game with? If you want a game to play with all the family, you may want to keep costs down and go for something relatively simple like Monopoly or even Sorry. However, if your kids have played a few games already, try something like Ticket to Ride or Catan which bridges the gap between basic games and more complex titles.

It’s also useful to think about how many of you will be playing. Most games are best suited to 4-6 players so if you want something specifically for just 2 (or even solo), make sure you buy something that suits those needs. Most games will say you can play them with just two people but you’ll often gain the most fun with a handful of you.

Genre is also important as there are many types of board game now. Some might be strategy focused (think Risk) but others can be card games with you building a deck to beat your opponent in some way. There are co-operative experiences too which can be good for gathering as a team. Another type can be RPG-based with you working together to explore a dungeon. Games like Twilight Imperium turn into multiple day fares with their huge scope which means the game almost feels never-ending but is perfect for a long adventure.

There are party games too like Codewords which encourage you to suss each other out rather than rely on anything too complex. Ultimately, it’s important to think about what kind of game appeals to you, how many players will be involved, and how long you want the game to last. In some cases, you might want a quick 30 minute session but at other times, you may want a game that will last you many hours or even days. Of course, sales periods are the perfect time to try something a little different.

We spend our days searching for the best deals. Every day is like Prime Day for us, as we don’t take a break from finding ways to save you money. That extends to all things tech but also all things board gaming. When it comes to board game Prime Day deals, we first of all only look for board games that are actually worth buying.

Once we’ve figured out what board games are worth recommending, we then focus on finding you the lowest price for all of these. We do so by checking all the major retailers and seeing what sales they have. Prime Day might be an Amazon event but other retailers also get in on the action with their own sales, so we make sure to check everywhere.

What do we do then? We check again. We keep checking back regularly as sales prices can change throughout the day so we don’t want you to miss out on a sweet deal. That way, all you need to do is check back here regularly, and we’ve got you covered.

Best PlayStation Plus Deals: Save on Essential, Plus and Premium
Best PS Plus deals

If you have a PlayStation 5 or any of the previous generations, like the PlayStation 4, then you probably know that to get access to online multiplayer, you'll need to grab yourself a specific subscription. That's because Sony, like most of the other console developers, has locked it behind a membership plan that is required for any online access. Luckily, the price isn't too bad, and even the lowest tier of PS Plus offers some additional benefits, such as monthly free games that you can download. While it's not perfect when compared to something like gaming PCs where there's no additional cost, some of the higher-end PS Plus subscriptions offer quite a lot of perks.

Also, while you're here, be sure to check out these excellent PS5 game deals and PlayStation deals that include some great games and accessories you can get for a great price.
What is PlayStation Plus?
Along with online multiplayer and other in-game network features, a PlayStation Plus Essential membership grants you access to exclusive discounts and other promotions. Perhaps the most notable benefit of PlayStation Plus is that every month, Sony gives subscribers one PlayStation 5 and two PlayStation 4 games that are free to download. You have one month to add these free PlayStation Plus games to your library.
