If you've gotten this far in life without having gathered up these essential board game classics, I suggest you go away and think about the series of events that have led you to this point. Now with your own actual hard cash to spend, and the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales knocking at your door, it's imperative that you pad out your board game collection with what many consider to be the best board games of all time. Mostly me. I consider that.

Believe me, there's much more to life than Monopoly and Scrabble. With these all-time favorites at your disposal, you'll not only appear more well-rounded as an individual, but they'll also open a window to the foundations of modern board game design. Besides, there's nothing like shaking up a dust-caked collection with some absolute classics from a new genre for once. Here are my best picks for three essential Cyber Monday board game deals.
Quick links
- Catan | $30 (save $25)
- Mouse Trap | $17 (save $8)
- Quacks | $40
The deals
Catan is just $30 at Amazon (usually closer to $55), and for a game that helped popularize and spread Euro-style board games across the world, that's a lot of legacy for not a lot of cash. It's just seen a fancy refresh for 6th Edition, too, with larger cards and a clearer rulebook for better accessibility. If that floats your boat, then it might be a good idea to grab the incredibly well-received Seafarers expansion for $50, too.
It may not be as classic as Catan but Mouse Trap is just $17 right now. For kids that grew up in the late '80s and early '90s, it's going to bring back some memories. This one's more essential for households with one or more children milling around, but I wanted to get a broad spectrum on this little gift list as opposed to plowing you with economics-based games. Just in case you prefer something that requires a little more dexterity (at least to set up).
Alternatively, perhaps one for the teenagers, Quacks is an explosive press-your-luck game that's just $40 currently. Generally it's a little more expensive, though Amazon doesn't have it listed as a deal. It's just an overall great buy for the price. You'll get 100% of your money's worth while watching your family members absolutely bottle it on an otherwise great run, as they try to mix the most profitable potions.
