Tokaido Duo

Prices taken at time of publishing.

Tokaido Duo is quite possibly the chillest two-player board game on sale for Prime Day. While there’s technically a competitive element, it’s more about the journey, in all its idyllic splendor, than the destination.

The box for the game Red Rising.


Red Rising

Prices taken at time of publishing.

The official board game for Pierce Brown’s dystopian Red Rising novels, this game casts you as the leader of a house vying for power and gathering followers. There are tons of Easter eggs for book fans (though no spoilers!), but you don’t need to be a Pierce Brown fan to play.

The box of the board game Splendor Duel


Splendor Duel

This two-player card game pits you and your opponent against each other in a race to become the ultimate gemstone merchant. The box itself is quite compact, making it the perfect game to bring on trips, to breweries, or anywhere else you like to play.

Fans can get the both the four-volume paperback collection and three-volume hardcover collection of the entire Calvin & Hobbes series at steep discounts for Prime Day. And if you aren’t already a fan of Bill Watterson’s beloved and seminal comic series about an imaginative boy and his stuffed tiger, now’s a great time to join the club.

The box for the game Machi Koro 2.


Machi Koro 2

This competitive city-builder improves upon the original game in every way. Great to play with as few as two players and as many as five, Machi Koro 2 is a clever dice-rolling game for all ages.

The box for the board game Betrayal at House on the Hill


Betrayal at House on The Hill (Second Edition)

Prices taken at time of publishing.
