Camel Up is another fun and lighthearted game in which you and up to four other players race camels around a race track. It’s a bit more tricky, though, since movement is random, bets are taking place, and a couple of strange camels go around, making life difficult. If you want a fun and cute game, this deal that gives you 68% off is worth grabbing.

Ticket to Ride — $25 $55 55% off

It’s a great little game that’s easy to take with you, can play up to 10 players, and has a solid 20% discount on it.

Wingspan — $52 $65 20% off

Wingspan is a gorgeous and delightful little game where each player essentially acts as a bird watcher and collector. Each player tries to collect as many birds as possible by building up their resources, and while there is a little bit of play against each other, it’s an overall lighthearted game. The 20% discount isn’t too bad either!

How to choose a board game on Cyber Monday

There are a lot of excellent board games out there, and a lot of your choices will rely on the group of folks you tend to play with. For example, if you mostly play games at social gatherings with lots of people, then you’ll want to go for games that can take up to 10 people, such as Hues and Cues or Codenames. Alternatively, if you’re mostly playing with a family that involves kids, then you may want to aim for something like Ticket To Ride or even Wingspan for teenagers.

Alternatively, you can focus on heavier-duty games that require strategy, resource management, or both, like Nemesis and Catan. At the end of the day, it’s a good idea to grab a few games to try them out and see what sort of mechanics you enjoy and find board games that are similar.

How we chose these board game Cyber Monday deals

Most of the board game choices above are aimed at being entry-level into the various mechanics that they have and are great for those who are just starting out and want to explore board games a bit more. Most of these have some form of sequel or expansion, so if you really like one, you can always build on it, which is always great fun.

Besides that, we also did our best to find you the cheapest offers on the board games below by leveraging our own experience as reviewers and deal hunters, as well as the tools we have to look at things like historical pricing. At the end of the day, that means you get the best bang for your buck.

Best gaming console deals: cheapest prices on PS5, Xbox S and X and Switch

While gaming PCs are great, if you're the type of person who wants a more plug and play experience and to sit at the TV, then a PS5 or Xbox makes a lot of sense. That said, there aren't a ton of great deals on the consoles themselves right now, although there are still quite a few good bundle deals that are worth grabbing. To that end, we've gone out and collected our favorite Series S and X deals, PlayStation 5 deals, and Nintendo Switch deals, so you can pick whichever one sparks your fancy.
Xbox Series S 1TB + 1TB Storage Expansion Card -- $450 $500 10% off

The Xbox Series S is the less powerful but cheaper option out of the newest generation Xbox line. When comparing the Xbox Series S versus the Xbox Series X, the Series S takes a hit in all the component categories. That means it's not quite as fast. But if you're not hung up on getting the optimal performance out of your system, you'll actually notice very few differences. The two biggest ones are the Series S's inability to play in 8K, and its lack of a disc drive. Most people don't even have 8K TVs, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're alright with downloading all of your games straight to the console's memory (and you have a separate DVD or Blu-Ray player), the Series S will work fine. It's quite a bit smaller anyway, and easier to fit on a shelf.
