Best overall board game deal
Why we like it
Ticket to Ride is a fantastic option for both family game nights and getting together with friends. While it usually sells for $54.99, it's on sale at Amazon today for $43.97, which scores you a 20% discount. It's also included in the buy-one-get-one-half-off deal, so you can snag two new games to get extra savings.
Ticket to Ride is designed for two to five players and works well for those who are eight years old and up. It's a strategic game that takes players on a journey of connecting rail lines between iconic American cities. But it's not so deeply strategic that you can't hold a conversation between turns. Plus, this game is terrific for playing over and over again, without getting stale or boring.
Best game deal for two players
Why we like it
Not all game nights need to be a party. Splendor is a terrific game that works great for just two players. The game gives each player an assignment of a Renaissance merchant and from there, you'll need to collect gems in order to purchase transportation means while also trying to attract the attention of nobles. It involves light strategy that makes the game fun to replay, trying out a new method with each game.
It takes about 30 minutes to play a round of Splendor, which is great for slotting into a game night with several board games. Splendor usually sells for $39.99, but it's 20% off at Amazon today, bringing it down to $31.99. Plus, it's part of the BOGO 50% off deal, so you can grab another eligible game to save even more.
Best portable game deal
Why we like it
Ready to pack into your luggage, Sushi Go Party! is the perfect travel companion. Suitable for parties of two to eight, it's worth taking along on summer vacation or a long weekend away. The card game centers around a pick-and-pass rhythm where you'll grab cards like nigiri, miso soup, edamame, tofu, soy sauce, and more. Make combinations of these cards to earn the most points, but you'll want to plan the menu carefully, since too many ingredients can be a bad thing.
Sushi Go Party! is great for two to eight players and playtime is about 20 minutes so you can get plenty of rounds in during a gaming night. Amazon has the game on sale for just $21.49 in honor of National Board Game Day, which takes 26% off the normal price of $28.95. Sushi Go Party! is also part of the Amazon BOGO 50% off deal, so choose another game to get an even deeper discount.
