General
While waiting for the PC version of "Bloodborne," the tabletop version of "Bloodborne" is on sale.

This Prime Day deal isn't the Bloodborne you've been waiting for; Bloodborne: The Board Game has all the weird monsters and strange weapons of From Software's action RPG. And now, it's the only way to play Bloodborne on your "desktop." (In this tabletop version, you (and up to four other players) take on the role of a hunter in the cursed city of Yharnam. There are secrets to find, grotesque beasts to fight, and a race to cleanse the city before the Blood Moon rises. All the action happens in a complex combat deck that reflects the satisfaction of the game and transforms trick weapons.

Bloodborne: The Board Game normally costs around $87.99, but on Prime Day it is on sale for $76.99. That's still more than a full-priced video game, but it offers the potential for hours of fun sessions and you get miniatures.

Also, while you're looking for board games, you can get two of the best board games available today: the Cosmic Encounter and the Star Wars X-Wing.

Cosmic Encounter is currently discounted $21 off its regular price and is for those who want to become an alien god and fight friends. No two games are the same, with deliberate game-breaking powers such as the ability to trade hands with other players.

Star Wars X-Wing, down to $33.24 on Prime Day, is a brilliant sci-fi ship battle game. It's a miniatures game like Warhammer 40,000, but it doesn't take long to play. The game's best feature, the FlightPath system, forces each player to secretly command their own ship and then reveal their call to arms to everyone at once. If you can't predict what move the enemy will make next, your strategy will only go so far. The game's clever rules and short playing time make it one of our favorites.
