Cyber Mondayis here, and we’re updating this story hourly. To find the best deals in every category, follow all ofour Cyber Monday coverage.
It’s board-game season, when cold weather and early sunsets force all of us (but especially families with kids) to spend a lot more time indoors. And if you’re a board-game family, today is the best day to pick out something new to add to your collection. It’s also a wonderful time to stock up on board games that make great gifts for kids of all ages. We saw some truly exceptional deals on board games on Black Friday, and while some of the best of those (like half-offSorryand other classic games) have ended, plenty are still live. I gathered the best Cyber Monday deals on Strategist-recommended games fromMouse TraptoRaccoon Tycoon.
