Board games are buy 2, get 1 free at Target during Cyber Monday

In 2022, upstart crowdfunding website Gamefound left beta to go head-to-head against Kickstarter, at the time the world’s premiere crowdfunding platform for tabletop games. More than a year later, the Polish company has proved its worth with a cavalcade of high-profile campaigns by CMON, Everything Epic, and Chip Theory Games among others. Now its own imprint, Awaken Realms, has achieved something remarkable: It’s campaign for Nemesis: Retaliation, the third in its series of Alien-inspired board games, is now the third most-funded tabletop game of all time. It closed Thursday with nearly $12.2 million earned. Delivery is expected by April 2025.

In a year filled with chaos on social media and digital platforms of all types, board games have continued to be a safe haven for folks looking to come together in person. But the relentless release schedule — including hundreds, if not thousands, of new board games, trading card games, and miniatures games from all around the world — can still be a lot to keep track of for most fans. That’s why we like to take the opportunity here on the last page of the calendar to slow down and to take stock of the best board games we played this year.

The festive season is upon us, so as you look ahead to the New Year, there's obviously only one question on your mind - how are we going to entertain our friends at our New Year's Eve bash? And I'm here to tell you to put that complicated board game instruction manual away, because the only game you need this December 31 is WarioWare: Move It!

Flock, the next game from the developers behind Hohokum, now has a free demo available on Steam.

Good news, folks, Geralt is bound for your coffee table. So says Restoration Games, publishers of card and miniatures game Unmatched, who announced today that it's partnering with CD Projekt Red to bring a bunch of Witcher-themed stuff into the game over the course of two new sets. 

There's also a great deal on the 1TB Xbox Series S at Dell.

This is one of the best PS5 Black Friday deals available now.

A «kawaii» addition to any gamer setup.

I'm 40 years old (that's somewhere around 260 in gamer years) which means I grew up in the '80s and '90s, the height of what we now call retro-gaming. And I've got my bona fides - I grew up playing a classic old school Atari console, much like the Atari 2600 that LEGO has recreated as a building set complete with cartridges, controllers, and even some buildable characters from some of the most iconic Atari games, which is currently on sale for Cyber Monday.

I love retro controllers, but even I'm eager to get my hands on 8bitdo's Retro Receiver for PS1 and PS2. As much as I'm into hardware preservation, I can't blame anyone for wanting to play retro PlayStation games with a modern gamepad. So, rather than trying to use a pad that has been the victim of FIFA rage throughout the years, you'll want to pick the receiver up while it's cheaper for Cyber Monday.
