As the darkness of winter descends and people are driven to gather indoors for the holidays, it suddenly becomes a lot more important to have good board games on hand. If your board game shelf is looking a little barren, worry not; Amazon's Black Friday sale has the excellent Azul for just $21.49 – a 33% drop from its usual price.

For the uninitiated, Azul is a strategic tile placement game in which two to four players are tasked with creating mosaics to win. It's on IGN's best beginner board games list – so at over $10 off, if you've never tried it, now is a good time.

Black Friday Deal: Azul Down to $21.49 at Amazon

Azul made our list of best board game classics for good reason. In our review, writer Matt Thrower said that, "Between its beautiful presentation, simplicity and depth there’s little doubt that Azul has earned its place as a modern classic." And at this price? It's certainly worth picking up for your board game collection.

If you're looking for more board game deals, there's plenty to explore from non-Amazon Black Friday sales. At the moment, Target has a 'Buy 1 Get 1 50% off Board Games and Puzzles' offer going on as part of its Black Friday sale, and other deals will surely pop up as the week continues. For more, check out our full breakdown of Black Friday 2025.

Amazon's Black Friday sale has been a real treat so far, especially when it comes to video games. Not only has the retailer been offering some incredible discounts on individual games, but it's even dropping the price on a few different bundles. The retailer's own 'No Console Required' Xbox bundle - which allows you to play Xbox games via cloud streaming through an Amazon Fire Stick - has dropped almost 50% in price during Black Friday sales.

In particular, the bundle that comes with the red Pulse Cipher Special Edition Xbox controller, a Fire TV Stick 4K, and one month of Game Pass Ultimate is 48% off at the retailer (see it here). This has brought its bundle price down from $149.97 to $77.97, and marks its lowest price ever, per Amazon's store page. Considering the list price of the Pulse Cipher controller on its own is $79.99, this is a bundle deal well worth taking advantage of while it's available.

Black Friday Deal: Save on Amazon’s ‘No Console Required’ Xbox Bundle

With Game Pass' cloud streaming service, you can play Xbox games without the need for an Xbox console. You just need a streaming device and a compatible controller... such as the Fire TV Stick 4K and the Pulse Cipher controller that make up this bundle. And with one month of Game Pass Ultimate ready to go, you can stay busy through the holidays playing games via cloud gaming. The controller is sure to be a standout addition to your setup, too. It features a vibrant red, transparent design with a silver interior and red rubberized grips on the back.

The Fire TV Stick 4K is a sweet little steaming stick, too. Alongside being able to stream games via Xbox Game Pass cloud gaming, it supports 4K Ultra HD resolution, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ so you can stream from your favorite streaming services in a high-quality format. It even supports Wi-Fi 6 for steady, smooth streaming quality, too.

Amazon's Black Friday sale has so much more to explore right now as well.

They also boast a battery life that can last up to eight hours with ANC on or up to 10 in Transparency mode which, again, is good news for those getting ready to go on a long trip.

There's plenty more still to come from Apple this week as well. The company recently announced its Black Friday plans, with its sale running from Friday, November 28 through Cyber Monday.

No better time to grab it if you've had your eye on it.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Drops to $30

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a game we had plenty of praise for when it was released earlier this year.

PlayStation's big Black Friday sale has officially kicked off. If you've been hoping to grab some deals on PS5 games, hardware, or accessories, there's already plenty to look through. The company is even offering a $20 discount on the PlayStation Portal right now as part of its sale, which is a nice little treat for those who have had it on their wish list or have been looking to pick it up as a gift for someone else over the holidays.

This deal is available across a wide variety of retailers as well, from Amazon to Walmart to Best Buy to Target and, of course, at PlayStation Direct. No matter if you've had your eyes on the sleek Midnight Black model or the classic White version, now's a great time to make a move on it.

PlayStation Portal - Midnight Black

PlayStation Portal - White

If you're a bit on the fence about buying the PlayStation Portal, it's worth noting that we're big fans of it. Our 8/10 review from IGN's Seth Macy said it's, "the best PlayStation 5 Remote Play solution available." We even consider it one of the best gaming accessories for your PS5, so if it's your go-to platform, this device is well worth checking out.

On top of that, Sony recently enabled Cloud Streaming for everyone on this device, which allows owners to stream games without being connected to a PS5 console. Keep in mind that you need to be a PlayStation Plus Premium member to access the PS Portal's Cloud Streaming function. The good news on that front, though, is that PlayStation Plus is also discounted as part of its Black Friday sale. New players can sign up right now and score 33% off 12-month memberships.
