Which board games should you buy on Black Friday?

A stack of Horrified and Quacks of Quedlinburg board games beside Codenames and Scythe, all on a wooden table.

Although Black Friday board game deals might have been overshadowed by tech savings once upon a time, things have changed. Indeed, it's now the best time of year to build a collection.

Unfortunately, that means there are almost too many discounts to keep track of - the digital shelves are creaking under the weight of all those Black Friday price cuts. That's why I've rounded up some personal favorites here that I'd recommend prioritizing in 2025. Why these games, you ask? Besides being some of the best board games overall, they traditionally get the biggest price cuts during the sale.

Yes, more well-known classics and the best family board games are heavily reduced too... but they always seem to be on offer no matter the time of year. Meanwhile, hobby games (AKA the best adult board games) such as the ones listed below don't enjoy many bargains. In fact, the November sale is one of the few instances where they're dramatically slashed in cost. That's why you'll find me prioritizing games like Mansions of Madness over Monopoly.
