This year’s Memorial Day board game deals are fast approaching, but that doesn’t mean we’re stuck in limbo waiting for kickoff. Rather, the discounts have already begun.
Sure, they might not be called Memorial Day board game deals, but I’d wager that plenty of these will be hit with a Memorial Day sticker if they hang around. Plus, we’re seeing a few record low prices before the event is even here. That’s worth shouting about, in my opinion.
Want an example? Oh, go on then. You can currently get a massive $20 off the 2nd Edition of Parks, bringing it down to $49.99 at Miniature Market from $60. In much the same way, the phenomenal social deduction game Snakesss is just $8.85 at Amazon, down from $20. Neither has ever been cheaper so far as I can tell, so 2025’s Memorial Day board game deals have a lot to live up to.
Anyway, I’ll be keeping an eye out for savings on the best board games as Memorial Day approaches. Keep your eyes on this guide when it’s here, because it’ll be getting regular updates.

Memorial Day board game deals FAQ
When will Memorial Day board game deals begin?
This year’s Memorial Day will take place on May 26, 2025. Don’t assume there won’t be savings before that point, though. There are always board game deals flying around no matter the time of year, and if previous sales are anything to go by, some of the current offerings will be given a Memorial Day badge when the time comes.
As with many sales, this one is likely to start earlier than its specified date as well. Keep an eye out at least a couple of days beforehand to make the most of these reductions.
How do I know if it’s a good Memorial Day board game deal?
It isn’t uncommon to see board games get a price cut, so how can you tell if the saving is actually good or not? Well, the GamesRadar+ team and I always check with price comparison sites like CamelCamelCamel. This tells us the item’s lowest ever price, its average cost over time, and more. We can use that information to fill you in on whether a board game discount is actually a good deal at all.
Beware of retailers like Amazon jacking up prices just before the event as well. It tends to pull stunts like this so the eventual reduction (which is basically the same as it’s been for weeks) looks bigger.
Where will I find good Memorial Day board game deals?
Want to go it alone? I’ve listed a few of the retailers that the GamesRadar+ team and I use on a weekly basis, and they don’t tend to let us down in terms of value for money. Here are some suggestions, including reasons for why I’m recommending them in the first place.
– Amazon: Best variety and discounts
– Miniature Market: Brilliant for hobby games
– Walmart: Find savings on family games
– Target: Stocks a mix of hobby and classic games
