Black Friday is upon us once more, bringing a host of tabletop and board game deals. GameStop may have some great deals on video games, but we're after savings on more traditional ones. Miniatures, storage, rules books, strategy games and more are all set to go on sale. This list is by no means exhaustive, so make sure to check back every day to see if any new deals have been added.

Target

Many of Target's deals are available both online and in-store, depending on availability. Target is also offering free 2-day shipping on some select items.

Amazon

The online retail giant is pulling no punches with their sales, with many titles seeing extreme discounts with a Prime membership. Deals that are only available due to a Prime membership are marked as such. Note that some third-party sellers may be selling certain titles below even the already steeply discounted price.

Walmart

Walmart is no stranger to massive discounts on Black Friday from everything to televisions to shoes. Board games are no exception, and there's plenty of great deals to be had on numerous games. You can use the code HOLIDAY18 to save an additional 20% off of your first order, and Walmart is offering free shipping on orders over $35.

Kohl's

Kohl's may not advertise itself as a premier source of discounted board and tabletop games, but there are some stellar deals hiding, if you're willing to dig around their website. Free shipping is available on orders over $25, and you can get an additional 15% off by using the promo code JOY. Note that the code may not work with all of the games listed here.

Role-Playing Games

Fear not, pen-and-paper aficionados, for there are sales on rulebooks and dice galore for you.
