Target Has a 25% Off Coupon Good for Any Board Game, Including Wingspan, Splendor, and Azul

We haven't seen a deal on Wingspan at all in 2024, until now. Target has it for $39.74 when you apply the 25% off coupon. This Stonemeier game first released in 2019, but we still consider it one of the best board games to play in 2024. Wingspan is a deceptively simple and yet endlessly replayable game, and you'll find yourself developing and honing new strategies with every subsequent playthough. In our Wingspan review, Matt Thrower writes "As you might have gathered, Wingspan is a moderately complex game, certainly more so than most of its peers who’ve made the jump into wider popularity. But it’s clear from the success of the game that its delightful components and appealing theme are more than enough to get many players to take the plunge. And, once there, they’re won over by the absorbing and addictive strategies on offer."

Wingspan is a very accessible game for both casuals and enthusiasts. Its design is gorgeous, featuring over 170 detailed bird illustations by Elizabeth Hargrave, charming game board backdrops, and cute little tokens and egg minatures. The rules are easy to follow, and each game lasts about an hour, so you won't need to carve out a huge chunk of time to play it.

Another excellent game worth mentioning in this sale is Splendor, which is down to $17.99 after the 25% off coupon is applied. Splendor is a 2014 release that's still considered one of the best board games for all experience levels, and it's priced lower than most other board games targeted towards the same audience. There's plenty of strategy here, but at the same time, the rules aren't daunting and the average playtime is a very reasonable 30 minutes. This fast game is easy enough for kids to learn but satisfying for players of all ages, making it a good board game for families.

One of the few hobby board games to cross over into full mainstream sales, Ticket to Ride is a steaming success story. It’s a combination of familiar concepts with players collecting cards, like a Rummy game, in order to try and claim matching routes on a map. It's a great game for all ages and works well as a two-player board game, or with a group, and it has spawned multiple spinoffs and expansions. Right now, Ticket to Ride Europe is the best deal going at Target. This edition changes the board to a beautifully illustrated Europe and introduces new elements like tunnels, ferries, and train stations for added strategic depth. It's a standalone edition and doesn't require the base game.

You can pick up a copy of Azul for $23.99 after you apply the 25% off coupon. Many board games are about mystery or war, but Azul is totally different. Players in Azul compete to design the most beautiful tiled mosaics they can. In our Azul review, Matt Thrower writes "Between its beautiful presentation, simplicity and depth there’s little doubt that Azul has earned its place as a modern classic. While the tinkering with its formula undertaken by its sequels has created more challenging games, none has captured the fine blend of accessibility and interactivity that makes it special."

Not unlike the potentially explosive potions players brew in-game, The Quacks of Quedlinburg has managed to bottle contained chaos into a mystifyingly unique tabletop experience. The award-winning board game has drawn comparisons to the Mario Kart franchise due to its sheer wackiness, approachable gameplay, and the fact that Quacks’ ingenious rules (and occasionally dumb luck) can catapult players from the basement to the front of the pack at a moment's notice. There are also quite a few expansions of this game worth looking into.
