In Duel, players are not drafting cards simultaneously from hands of cards, but from a display of face-down and face-up cards arranged at the start of each round.

#18 | Forbidden Desert

The second game in the series, this one has a little more strategic byte.

Players take on the roles of brave adventurers who must survive long enough to recover a legendary flying machine buried under an ancient desert city. It has cooperative gameplay similar to Forbidden Island, but is a fresh new game based around an innovative set of mechanisms such as an ever-shifting board, individual resource management, and a unique method for locating the flying machine parts.

30% Down To $17.39 | Buy Forbidden Desert via Amazon

31% Down To $13.89 | Buy Forbidden Island via Amazon

To score points you want to mark off as many numbers as possible, but you can mark off a number only if it’s to the right of all marked-off numbers in the same row. Similar to Twice As Clever, there is no fancy theme here, it is about the dice and the numbers and the interesting scoring combinations you can make. For 2 – 5 players, games last about 15 minutes.

54% Down To $5.54 | Buy Qwixx via Amazon

#21 | The Mind

This is more than just a game. It’s an experiment, a journey, a team experience in which you can’t exchange information, yet will become one to defeat all the levels of the game.

#25 | Splendor Marvel

Even this deal is more expensive than regular Splendor so it is all about how much you care about Marvel. What makes this game great is the base, so think carefully.

As the very first Exploding Kittens expansion, they made sure to give the fans some stuff they were really clamoring for.

#29 | Barking Kittens

This is a great expansion for Exploding Kittens (must have that game) with lots to offer, but it falls just shy of the top recommendation. This expansion is intended to boost, bolster and barkify the rules of the original game. The set includes 20 game-changing cards with powerful new actions and features.

Not a huge saving, but Patchwork is such a great game, a good excuse. This is the Americana version of the original. You compete against another to build the most aesthetic quilt on a personal 9×9 game board. To start play, all the patches are laid out at random in a circle with a marker placed directly clockwise of the 2-1 patch. On a turn, a player either purchases 1 of the 3 patches standing clockwise of the spool or passes. Lots of complexity ensues and it is up to you to masterfully put together these odd patch pieces into strategic point clusters that give you big points. For 2 players, games run 15 – 30 minutes.

20% Down To $11.99 | Buy Patchwork Americana via Amazon
