A few highlights include the game night classic Catan for 30 (down from 55), the official LEGO party game, Brick Like This for 13 (down from 20), and the Lord of the Rings Trick-Taking Game for 22 (down from 27). That last one took a spot on our Best Co-Op Card Games list. Have a look at these and a few others we've found on sale for Prime Day. Catan: The Game 30 (was 55) The agricultural board game Catan is a mainstay in many collections, and for good reason.
