Expansion bundles — often the better per-dollar deal
Pros
- Online-native category, online-native sale
- Second chance at Friday misses
- Deep catalog from our guides
Cons
- Stock risk on the most-wanted titles
Enthusiast and strategy titles often see their sharpest online pricing on Cyber Monday rather than Black Friday — the online-native shopper is exactly who buys the Wingspan-system games, and Wyrmspan is the current edition to watch. It's the crown jewel of our family guide for older kids and adults.
The CM Sweet Spot
If a strategy title from our guides didn't hit its floor on Friday, Monday is the second bite. We'll log verified Wyrmspan-class drops here during deal week.
Gift shoppers targeting the board-game lover who's past the gateway titles.
What we don't like
Stock on premium games can thin out by Monday — Friday's price in hand can beat Monday's price out of stock.
