In terms of highly-regarded team board games, Spirit Island takes the cake. Its usual price might also take your breath away, but not this week. It's currently enjoying a deity-sized discount ahead of this week's Prime Day sale. (Or the painfully clunky "Prime Big Deal Days," I should say.)
Indeed, you can get Spirit Island at half price right now if you act fast - it's $44.99 at Amazon instead of $90, all in honor of Prime Day. Seeing as the god game (where you're trying to boot colonizers off your island) is so well-rated on community forums such as BoardGameGeek, that's an offer I think should be on your radar. Especially because it's one of those board games that rarely sees a reduction.
While this is one of the many savings available in October's Prime Day board game deals, it's the one that stood out to me the most. I've been looking for an excuse to get Spirit Island for ages, and this may be my chance.
Spirit Island | $89.99 $44.99 at Amazon
Save $45 - This board game rarely drops below $66 in price, so that Prime Day offer isn't your run-of-the-mill saving. In fact, this is just a single dollar off Spirit Island's lowest ever price. Just remember, you need to be a Prime member to access the discount.
