Lost Ruins of Arnak board game falls to Amazon low at $40, Codenames $9.50, more

From $9.50/$40

Amazon is offering Czech Games’ Lost Ruins of Arnak Board Game for $39.94 shipped. Down from its $60 list price, today’s deal not only saves $60 but also ushers in a new Amazon low that we’ve tracked. This board game supports one to four players at a time, meaning you can sit down and enjoy it yourself or with the family just the same. You’ll be using traditional deck building techniques, though each card can also be used to place workers on the board. Your deck will be small and randomness is put at bay by the “wealth of tactical decisions” that have to be made in the game. Be sure to build a “solid resource base” to ensure victory.
