Prime Day Board Game Deals: My Take on the Savings

Prime Day 2025 has wrapped up, and as a board game enthusiast, I was glued to my screen, hunting for the best deals. My takeaway from this year? It was a mixed bag. I found some decent discounts, especially for Marvel Champions, but I wouldn't say there were any "super crazy" deals that blew me away. Here's a rundown of what I saw.

The General Vibe: Good, But Not Earth-Shattering

For the most part, Prime Day 2025 was a good chance to grab some popular, well-regarded games at a solid discount. If you were looking to get into the hobby or fill a gap in your collection, you were in luck.

Here are some deals that caught my eye:

• Azul: This beautiful abstract strategy game was widely discounted, with some retailers offering it for around $20.
• Splendor: Another fantastic gateway game that saw a significant price cut.
• Here To Slay: A Strategic Card Game. A Role-Playing Adventure. A Dangerous New World. 

While these were all good deals, they felt more in line with what you might see during a typical holiday sale, not the exceptional bargains I've come to associate with Prime Day.

For My Fellow Marvel Champions Fans: Some Heroic Savings

As a big fan of Marvel Champions: The Card Game, I was pleased to see some decent deals on this line. The core set itself was on sale, which is a great starting point for anyone looking to get into the game.

Beyond the core set, I saw a handful of hero packs and expansions with discounted prices. I spotted deals for Gamora, Black Widow, Angel, and Valkyrie. I also noticed the Green Goblin Scenario Pack was a good value (at the time, not anymore), offering two fun and challenging scenarios. While not every Marvel Champions product was on sale, it was a good opportunity to add some new heroes and villains to the collection without paying full price.

The Final Tally: What Did You Get?

So, was Prime Day 2025 a win for board gamers? It really depends on what you were looking for. If you were hoping to find a rare, out-of-print game at a massive discount, you were probably out of luck. But if you were looking to expand your collection with some popular titles, try something new, or dive into a game like Marvel Champions, there were definitely some deals to be had.
