Right now, after the Black Friday deals have died down, turns out there are still some fantastic deals on Cyber Monday board games. I know they're not tech, but they're tech-adjacent enough that Amazon has deemed them worthy of even more impressive discounts, in some cases. 

So why buy a board game over Cyber Monday? Look, I understand the need to escape family and disappear into my favorite game world, but especially around this time of year we all know it's important to forge bonds and make memories together with a bit of board gaming time. There are heaps of tabletop games based on videogames—even some of the top 100 video games we so fervently fight over in the office once a year.

While I can't stop you and yours from breaking out into a family feud, I can give you some ideas as to the kind of board games a PC Gamer might actually be interested in playing. And hey, it's something you can all do together, rather than standing in the doorway while your kid shouts obscenities at their new gaming monitor.

Alright I know this is technically based around a movie, but D&D and PC gaming are so interlinked you'd be hard pressed to find a gamer who isn't into it. And if you have to drag them away from their machine to play the same game you always play at this time of year, why not make it a more interesting fantasy-themed version?

If you're looking for something a little more retro this one is super easy to learn, and can be played by a big group. It's a tile placement exploration game with "take that" mechanics that'll have the whole family going head to head. It's an especially great option for arcade gamers who were there at the birth of videogaming.

Like the videogame, Dorfromantik is a little more on the chill side. It's a peaceful map-making game where you're tasked with matching edges to fulfill the needs of your people and score points. It's collaborative, so there's hopefully less room for arguments and more room for pastural landscapes.

Fallout has a S.P.E.C.I.A.L place in my heart, and the idea of being able to play it with my family sounds pretty great. Just remember it's a pretty long game, so you're gonna be in for a haul, as you explore the wastes and each advance your survivor's own story.

Yep, turns out there's even more Skyrim. With a similarly branching narrative to the videogame, the Skyrim board game involves two campaigns of three chapters each. You can even save your game and start the second campaign with the same equipment as you ended the first with.

Alternatively, you can nab the base game plus the Miniatures Upgrade Bundle for $164.70, which is a massive $85.28 saving.
