Highlights for October Prime Day include Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game, a solid little card game that isn’t collectible — everything you need is right there in the box. You’ll also find Robo Rally, a beloved game about programming cute little robots, which has a great new reprint available from Renegade, its new publisher. You can find the smash Kickstarter hits ISS Vanguard (great for Mass Effect fans) and The Witcher: Old World — the deluxe edition, no less! — for a steal. And if anyone in your family has picked up the chess bug, then we’ve found a few handmade sets that will help elevate their game.
If you’re looking other ways to expand your tabletop collection, we’ve rounded up the best Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, and more tabletop deals of Prime Day 2023.
