Board games like Azul are available at incredibly low prices for Black Friday, including Azul for $19.99, Ticket to Ride for $24.99, Catan for $24.99, and Exploding Kittens for $9.99. Azul is one of the best new board games released in recent years, and in our Azul review Matt Thrower said:

“Given its beautiful presentation, its simplicity and depth, there is little doubt that Azul has earned its place as a modern classic. While the refinements to the formula made in the sequels have produced more sophisticated games, none have captured the fine blend of accessibility and interactivity that it offers, making it special.
