Fast & Furious is the best deal from Amazon’s Black Friday board game sale

Our top choice for this year’s Amazon Black Friday board game sale is Fast & Furious: Highway Heist, a sleeper hit from Funko’s crack team of designers. It’s just as ridiculous as the movies, with characters leaping between vehicles as the action careens down the endlessly unfolding roadway. I defy you to find more fun for $7.99 this holiday — a discount of more than 80% from the launch price of $30.

And, while Amazon’s deals have been running all week, there’s still plenty of stock to be found across the tabletop hobby — including the pop-culture infused Dead of Winter, a cheeky survival game with a traitor mechanic. It’s down to $35.65, discounted from the original $59.95.

For those new to modern board games, or looking for something active that everyone can enjoy throughout the holidays, look no further than Castle Panic’s new second edition printing. The “big box” edition bundles together all of the game’s best expansions for a stunningly low price of $76.53 (down from a launch price over $120).

Other highlights this year include big-name video game tie-ins deeply discounted for the holidays. That includes Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood of Venice, the World of Warcraft-inspired version of Pandemic, and Overboss: A Boss Monster Adventure inspired by 8-bit classics like Super Mario Bros. You can even snag the tabletop version of Frostpunk, a breakout crowdfunding hit, for more than 50% off the retail price.

We also have a few other pages you’ll want to check out to tick off your tabletop shopping list: D&D deals and Magic: The Gathering deals. For the Warhammer 40K fan in your life (even if it’s you), check out these impressive deals on Joytoy action figures.
