Black Friday 2018
Our round-up of the tabletop offers out there
Black Friday 2018 has kicked off, with the yearly sales event bringing with it price cuts on everything from toasters to toothbrushes – and, of course, lots and lots of games.
We've rounded up some of the best UK and European tabletop deals we've spotted out in the internet wilderness below, with savings on the latest and classic board games, collectible trading card games, miniatures, accessories, RPGs, and more. You name it, there's probably a Black Friday deal for it.
To mark the occasion – and help you all save a few quid this Christmas – we've also slashed the price on digital subscriptions to Tabletop Gaming and Miniature Wargames, making the magazines half price for a week.
With hundreds of games and deals going on, there's bound to be more that pop up during the day. If you spot anything we've missed, let us know on Facebook or Twitter and we'll get it added.
Happy gaming!
Tabletop Gaming
An annual digital subscription – that's 12 issues over 12 months – to the world's best gaming magazine is half price via Pocketmags until November 30th 2018! If you're after a physical copy of the magazine, including the free and exclusive promo gifts featured on the cover each month, don't forget that we now have free P&P to the UK as standard through our own online store.
Miniature Wargames
We've also knocked half the price off a digital subscription to Miniature Wargames on Pocketmags until November 30th!
Amazon
Arguably the online shop that started the Black Friday craze in the UK, Amazon has a wide spread of games in this year's sale, ranging from family classics like Monopoly to party games and modern favourites such as Dobble. Like most of its deals, many of these are timed to go live at certain poitns of the day, and some have a limited amount available – so you'll need to move fast to nab them.
