We've also got specialized deal hubs for Cyber Monday Lego space deals and Cyber Monday telescope deals if youre looking for something in particular.in the meantime, here's what we've found for great space board game deals this Cyber Monday.
Right now, The Search for Planet X is on sale for $34.99 at Amazon, down from $44.99, and allows you and some friends to play as astronomers that are trying to find a hypothetical planet.
A companion app allows players to perform scans and attend conferences to gain information about where these celestial objects are located. A player wins the 60 to 75-minute game by successfully finding the location of Planet X.
The Crew - Quest for Planet Nine is slashed to just $5.09 at Amazon, a 66% savings, and is a space game that offers three to five players engage in a trick-taking card game that gets harder the longer you play.
As players complete 50 different missions across the solar system, they need to work together in this collaborative game in order to win.
Who wouldn't want to go to the moon? You can land (see what we did there) Apollo: A Collaborative Game for $11.99 at Amazon (that's 50% off) for Black Friday.
The game is inspired by the real-life NASA lunar missions (it's full name is literally "Apollo: A Collaborative Game Inspired by NASA Missions") and it is suited for two to five players. The goal is simple: get to the moon and back in the year 1961.
We're sure NASA would have loved to have made its own moon landing at half the price.
Dune: A Game of Conquest and Diplomacy is a board game from Gale Force Nine that puts you in the shoes of young Paul Atreides (or if you prefer, a Harkonnen) in a contest to win control of the most important planet in the galaxy: Dune, Arrakis, a desert planet. The game is 9% off for Black Friday at $45.68, down from $50.
Suitable for 2 to 4 players ages 12 and up, this game puts you in the science fiction classic by author Frank Herbert (and the 2021 film remake) to play as one of four different factions: House Atreides (yay!), House Harkonnen (boo!), the Fremen (yay!) and the Imperium (boo!). You goal: Win control of Arrakis and its valuable Spice. The average game takes from 30 to 60 minutes.
it's worth noting that there are two other versions of the Dune board game from Gale Force Nine. The Classic version is 8% off at $45.79 and meant for 2 to 6 players; and a separate version, Dune: Betrayal from the 2021 film, is $39, but not on sale. That game is meant for 4 to 8 players.
When it comes to Star Wars Monopoly, "this is the way."
Monopoly Star Wars: The Mandalorian Edition is just $20 at Amazon, saving you 52% (about $22) in a unique twist on the traditional Hasbro board game. The game features player tokens of recognizable characters like The Mandalorian (of course), Ahsoka Tano, Boba Fett and Bo-Katan, and each of them has their own special abilities and a character card.
Grogu, AKA Baby Yoda, does make an appearance on the board, and you'll have to protect him (and use his sweet Force skills) of you land on his spot. Finally, the Empire won't sit quietly while you play with your friends, so you'll have watch out for Stormtrooper, Dark Trooper and Moff Gideon enemies to make sure they don't get Grogu. May the Force be with you always!
Terraforming Mars, which is 26% off at Amazon, asks players to both work together (yet also compete) to build a sustainable habitat on Mars for humanity to thrive. Players split into factions of different corporations (each with their strengths for resources) to warm the planet Mars, find water and more make the place fit to live.
You can get Twilight Imperium for 27% off and save $45 at Amazon to score one of the most popular space opera board games available today. The base game has been a round for more than 20 years, and this deal will land you its 4th edition.
Twilight Imperium is an intergalactic battle board game with gameplay that's reminiscent of Dungeons & Dragons. It puts each player in command of one of 17 different factions like the trade masterminds Emirates of Hacan or the wormhole-hopping Ghosts of Creuss. Once factions are set up, players compete in war, trade, politics and allegiances to rule the galaxy.
The well-rated Race for the Galaxy card game is now 43% off at Amazon, a savings of $15. With this game, two to four players work to build their own galactic civilizations and gain victory points in the process.
Race for the Galaxy is made of cards that represent worlds, technical or social developments. Players can choose from seven different action cards in each round, and each round consists of five possible phases. Once you get your footing and find yourself wanting more, you can check out Race for the Galaxy extension games such as Xeno Invasion or Alien Artifacts.
Star Wars Imperial Assault is 20% off at Amazon, a savings of $20, and offers a game that's both suitable for single play or up to a group of five. The game places participants within the original trilogy.
You can play as a hero of the Rebellion or fight alongside the Galactic Empire to battle over conflicting objectives with other players.
