Betrayal at Baldur’s Gate | $55.99 $40.99 at Amazon
Save $15 – As you may be able to tell from the name, this is a spin-off of the beloved Betrayal at House on the Hill game (which we said was “magnificent” in our Betrayal at House on the Hill 3rd edition review)… albeit with a D&D twist that sees you exploring the city of Baldur’s Gate itself rather than a single, spooky mansion. We did see it for less last year, but that’s its cheapest price in 2023. And just in time for Baldur’s Gate 3, too…
Buy it if:
✅ You’re into Baldur’s Gate 3 right now
✅ You love Betrayal at House on the Hill
Don’t buy it if:
❌ You aren’t a big D&D fan
❌ You prefer quick games
Price check: Walmart $41.49 | Target $41.49
Star Wars: Shatterpoint | $164.99 $137.98 at Amazon
Save $33 – The latest wargame on the block has taken a tumble in price for this week’s board game deals, falling to its lowest cost yet. As we said in our Star Wars: Shatterpoint review, it “delivers fast-paced action with depth,” resulting in an experience that manages to stand out from the crowd. The Clone Wars’ unique art style has been translated to the miniatures perfectly as well, so it’s visually distinct too.
Buy it if:
✅ You want something dynamic and fast
✅ You love Clone Wars
Don’t buy it if:
❌ You prefer big battles with armies
❌ You don’t like Clone Wars
Price check: Walmart $137.98 | Target N/A
Warhammer 40K Leviathan | $239.99 $225.87 at Amazon
Save $15 – Sure, that’s not the biggest price cut in this week’s board game deals. But because the Leviathan box set (which was made to introduce Warhammer 40K’s 10th edition) has been so hard to get hold of, any discount is worth paying attention to. You’re getting slightly more than two complete Combat Patrol armies here, not to mention a special-edition core rulebook and plenty of other cool extras. You can see what we thought in our Warhammer 40K Leviathan impressions.
Buy it if:
✅ You’re starting a Marine or Tyranid army
✅ You’re a 40K fan gearing up for 10th Edition
Don’t buy it if:
❌ You’re new to 40K
❌ Massive painting projects intimidate you
Price check: Walmart $270 | GW (out of stock)
