Christmas isn't complete without a good board game. Nothing brings the family together (or drives them apart) quite like sitting down with your Christmas hats and jumpers on, to play a new board game.

Thankfully, Cyber Monday is here to help you save on the next big Christmas party game. Whether you're looking for a classic or something you've never played before, we've rounded up all the best deals we can find to help you fill those lazy Christmas afternoons when the grandparents (or you) are all having their post-dinner nap.

We've also rounded up all the best deals on the Yoto Player in our best Yoto Cyber Monday deals page and offers on the Toniebox in our Tonies Cyber Monday deals round-up. Plus, the best White Company Cyber Monday deals and Pandora Cyber Monday deals to help you with your Christmas shopping.

What is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday is traditionally the last day of the Black Friday sales, with retailers and brands revealing new deals and updating existing ones to give you one final chance to save.

When do Cyber Monday deals end?

The exact end date of Cyber Monday deals will depend on the retailer but they usually end at Midnight on Cyber Monday itself or, in some cases, on the day after, which this year falls on 3rd December.

It's always worth checking the retailers' specific end date and time if you find a deal you fancy to avoid missing out.

Amazon's, for example, Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales all come to an end on the 2ndof December. The Entertainer similarly ends their sale on the 2nd of December, while Very and JD Williams haven't specified a date, though it is likely they will end around the same time.

Ravensburger Upside Down Challenge Game | £24.99 £18.75 at Amazon (Save £6.24 or 25%)

Ravensburger Upside Down Challenge Game with child tester Scarlett

This game might be simple - you wear a pair of glasses that turn the world upside down before completing a series of challenges - but it's a lot of fun. Few things are funnier than watching someone trying to draw a picture or write a sentence upside down. It's harder than it looks!

I thought it was really fun and it made us all laugh when we played it. I liked doing the water challenges the best because the water went everywhere!

Fire in the Hole! | £22.99 £18.69 at Amazon (Save £4.30 or 19%)

McMiller Fire In The Hole game with child tester William

This beautifully designed pop-up board game is hilarious to play and is made entirely of biodegradable materials. You just draw cards allowing you – in various ways – to 'launch' your 6 colourful felt cannonballs at the holes in the pirate ship's deck. The aim is to try to land them in a row of 4, vertically or horizontally.

We had a total blast playing this game as a family. We all loved how the board and ship cleverly folded out. The cannonballs did fly everywhere – which added to the fun.

Let's Hit Each Other With Fake Swords from Exploding Kittens | £24.99 £21.24 at Amazon (Save £3.75 or 15%)

3

What could be better than a game that involves adorable fake swords? The mavericks behind Exploding Kittens have done it again with this masterpiece, which landed a Bronze Award at the MadeForMums Toy Awards 2024.

I play this game with my sister (10) and brother (14) and we all had a lot of fun playing! The rules were a bit tricky but once we played a couple of rounds it was easy and fun to do! I loved the challenges we all had before and while hitting with the swords it made the game so funny and competitive! We will play this game again and gain. I wish there were extra swords in the game but what you get is more than enough to play.

Catchables from Exploding Kittens | £19.99 £14.99 at Amazon (Save £5 or 25%)

Exploding Kittens Catchables Gold

The hits keep on coming from Exploding Kittens with this collectable toy-tossing game. You use cards to draw funny challenges that involve throwing and catching the squishy toys. The game is expandable with a range of affordable add-ons to help you mix up the experience.

I love how it challenges you in a funny way and helps with catching skills. It has even helped me in my other sports as it’s made me think what I need to do next to win. I definitely want to play with it again as it is challenging and funny to watch other people too!

Skillmatics Guess in 10 Animal Planet | £13.99 £11.16 at Amazon (Save £2.83 or 20%)

Skillmatics Guess in 10 Animal Planet MFM Toy Awards 24

If you're looking for something that's fun and educational then this is a great pick.

My son really enjoyed playing this with his brother. It was great to see them both enjoying something that actually kept them occupied without finding something to argue about. It really did keep their interest. It's quite a fun game for children whilst being educational too, mine really enjoyed trying to work out the different animal possibilities.

Hasbro Monopoly Go! Board Game | £19.99 £13.29 at Amazon (Save £6.70 or 34%)

Hasbro Monopoly Go Board Game MFM Toy Awards 24

It wouldn't be Christmas without Monopoly and, thanks to this handy travel-sized version, you can take the competition on the road while you visit the family.

My boys loved this game. It retains the original Monopoly feel but on a much more kid-friendly level. Very original and relatively quick to play, they enjoyed playing it on repeat!
Hayley, mum of child judges Leo, 8 years old and Josh, 5 years old

Disney Lorcana Gateway Board Game | £22.99 £17.99 at Amazon (Save £5 or 22%)

Disney Lorcana Gateway Board Game

This board game version of the epic new Disney-themed trading card game is the perfect way to kick-start a collection.

This game is amazing, I love all the artwork on the cards as it has so much detail. I had a lot of fun playing this with my sister and can't wait to play it with other members of my family. We had so much fun playing this and we can’t wait to get some of the other decks to add to it and make the game even more exciting! This is definitely a game I will be playing a lot!

THROW THROW ZOMBIE BURRITO | £24.99 £21.24 at Amazon (Save £3.75 or 15%)

THROW THROW ZOMBIE BURRITO MFM Toy Awards 24

This zombified variant of the classic burrito-throwing game is as adorable as it is hilarious. Who knew that combining dodgeball and a card game would be so much fun?

This is so fun to play. Throwing the burritos was hilarious, I loved the little faces on them. I can’t wait to play it in the garden and be able to throw them at my mum and dad and be able to play it with my friends when they come to my house.
Child judge Scarlett, 11 years old

Feeder Frenzy: Flying Squirrels | £16.99 £15.99 at Amazon (Save £1 or 6%)

Flying Squirrels Feeder Frenzy Bronze

In keeping with the ongoing trend of board games that involve throwing things, Feeder Frenzy puts a nutty twist on the formula to maximise fun.

It's a good fun, novelty game. It's different to any game we have had before so both of my boys were really excited to play it. It's very hands on and keeps their interest. I also love that it is an active game, they are physically having to ping the squirrels and move quickly to grab the nuts, which keeps it really fun for them.
Stephanie, mum of child judge Arthur, 6 years old

Spin Master Games Snack-O-Saurus Rex | £20 £15 at The Entertainer (Save £5 or 25%)

Spin Master Games Snack-O-Saurus Rex MFM Toy Awards 24

I'm not sure how factually accurate this T-Rex is (though I can't say that they didn't have super long tongues) but this game is still a serious amount of fun. The perfect game for dino fans and snack fans alike.

My children absolutely love this game. We have played it many times since getting it. While playing they giggle and laugh enjoying it so much, it is a lovely family activity. Another great aspect of the game was how easy it was to play, it was great to start going quickly and each game was relatively short, which kept the children really engaged as they want to play again and again.
Kate, mum of child judge Frederick, 5 years old
