As we all know, Black Friday is a fine time to pick up any gifts we want to give to friends and loved ones, or gifts we want to give to ourselves because, hey, you deserve it. While you can find discounts on most items during the holiday shopping event, ranging from Apple products to LEGO, it's also a fine time to stock up on board games. I'm the board game editor here at IGN, so I'm well versed in what's out there, what's good, and what games are most popular with our readers. These are my picks for the best board games on sale for Black Friday 2024.

Board Game Deals at Walmart

Walmart may not have the most board games on sale, but it has the best prices on the ones it does have on sale. You can pick up beginner-enthusiast standards like Catan and Ticket to Ride on sale for $25 apiece, which is way cheaper than you're likely to find them any other time of year. The "No Mercy" Uno variant featured in the $15 Uno collection is worth more than $15 on its own. That package offers a fun spin on the classic card game everyone knows. And if you have a board game collection but are missing all-time classics like Scrabble, Twister, or Guess Who? now is a great time to correct that oversight.

Board Game Deals at Amazon

Amazon's board game deals are all over the, uh, board this year. You can save a heap on kid-friendly board games like Jenga, Mouse Trap, and Hedbanz. But if you're more into board games for adults, especially if you have a board game group that gets together, you can save on lots of awesome games like Alien: Fate of the Nostromo, Small World of Warcraft, and more.

Board Game Deals at Target

Target has an eclectic mix of board games on sale for Black Friday, including a number of games that are also on sale at Amazon or Walmart, plus many of its own. Some of the standouts include a D&D starter set for newcomers to the OG tabletop RPG, plus Wavelength, the card game Disney Lorcana, and more.

All told, whether you're looking for fun family board games, deep strategy board games, tactical war board games, card games, or pretty much anything else, you can find something on sale that fits the bill.

When Is Black Friday 2024?

This year, Black Friday officially falls on November 29, but most of the best deals are already live.
