Prime Day Is Almost Over — But I’ve Found 12 Board Games Under $20 To Help You Score A Great Last-minute Deal

Want to score some last-minute savings before Amazon Prime Day 2026 draws to a close? I’ve found 12 board games for under $20 that you can shop right now — though the deals won’t last much longer.

What’s more, these aren’t cheap but ultimately terrible games; these are some really solid picks with options to suit any occasion — with my personal favorites being Herd Mentality, Monopoly Big Deal, and Cheers to the Governor.

There are party picks like Throw Throw Burrito and The Cameleon, which are ideal for larger groups of all ages; meanwhile, Twisted Cryptids and Exploding Kittens require a little more strategy if you want to secure victory.

Plus, several picks on this list come in small boxes, making them ideal travel games to take with you on your summer vacation — and all of them make excellent ice breakers if you’re heading off to college when the summer’s over.

Best of all, as I said in the intro, none of them will set you back more than $20, though that promise is only true while Prime Day deals are still live.
