The first real Amazon Prime Day deal on a board game has arrived. Amazon has just dropped the price of the popular Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion board game to only $19.99, down a whopping 60% off from its original $50 MSRP. The lowest price we’ve seen before today was for $26.66 back in February of this year. This is a legitimate deal.

Gloomhaven: Jaw of the Lion Board Game

Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is Celopahir Games’ followup release to the hugely successful Gloomhaven board game. It offers a similar gameplay experience to the original and far more daunting Gloomhaven but it’s been condensed to make the game more accessible to casual players; that means a simpler rule set, a more developed tutorial, and fewer overall pieces on the board. You’re still playing a cooperative campaign that emphasizes tactical combat and RPG-stye character building.

Now if you think “condensed” means that Jaws of the Lion doesn’t pack as much value, you’d be wrong. For a mere $49.99 $19.99, you’re getting 6+ pounds of cardboard goodness. And although this game is less intimidating than original, it’s still a lot more complex than your typical board game, and you’ll have a relatively steep learning curve to look forward to. If you’re a fan of this board game genre, and you’ve shied away from Gloomhaven because of its price and involvement, then there’s absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t get in on this deal.

If you need even more convincing, check out our Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion review from earlier in the year. It’s totally worth it.

Dell G15 15″ RTX 3050 Ti Gaming Laptop for $649.99

This is the lowest price we’ve seen so far for an RTX 3050 Ti equipped gaming laptop. At under $700 you can’t really find a mobile GPU with more power than the RTX 3050 Ti; it’s a little bit more powerful than the previous generation’s GTX 1660 Ti, plus it offers ray tracing and DLSS support. It should handle 1080p gaming at high settings without a hitch.

The new slimmer Alienware x15 and x17 gaming laptops as well as the bread and butter Alienware m15 gaming laptops are both on sale. We’ve listed out the power consumption rating (TDP) on the GPUs; the same video card can come in several different TDP ratings. Higher TDP rating correlates to better gaming performance, but that also means more heat generated so you often need a thicker chassis and beefier cooling. Ultra-thin laptops like the Alienware x15 and x17 thus benefit from a lower TDP GPU.

Dell S2721DGF 27″ 1440p GSYNC Gaming Monitor

This excellent monitor has hit a new price low for Black Friday. It’s one of the best 27″ gaming monitors you can buy for under $500. The S2721DGF boasts a high quality IPS panel (better than the VA panel found on the popular S3220DGF model). It features wide viewing angles and excellent color rendition including 98% DCI-P3 color coverage, a super fast 1ms response time and up to 165Hz refresh rate through the DisplayPort. It’s also FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC compatible.

Not to be outdone by Amazon Prime Day, HP is offering some incredible discounts on many of its high-end gaming desktop PCs and gaming laptops. The best models are equipped with the newest Intel Alder Lake CPUs and GeForce RTX 30 series video cards. To sweeten the deal, there are even tiered 5% off and 10% off coupon codes that stack with these instant discounts.

HP Prime Day Counter Gaming PC Deals

These HP Prime Day Counter gaming PC deals can’t be beat, especially when combined with the 5% off or 10% off coupon codes. Eligible models include the newly updated 2022 HP Envy, Victus, and OMEN gaming PCs. The HP Envy and Victus lineups are nice for those who don’t want their gaming PC to look like… well, a gaming PC. They combine customizable powerful components under the hood with understated aesthetics. If, however, you want bold standout looks (and RGB!) and over-the-top cooling, you’ll want to look towards the HP OMEN lineup. The HP OMEN 25L is a budget oriented gaming PC that offers RTX 30 series power at a fantastic price point. The HP OMEN 40L and 45L are updates over the previous generation’s 25L and 30L. The new models have a larger chassis volume and twin (40L) or triple (45L) intake fans for better airflow. The 45L goes even further by placing a 360mm liquid cooling system externally above the case dubbed the “Cryo Chamber”. That allows for cooling that rivals enthusiast DIY systems. Components wise, both the 40L and 45L are equipped with the newest Intel Alder Lake processor, Z690 motherboard and RTX 30 series video card.

HP Prime Day Counter Gaming Laptop Deals

The HP Prime Day Counter sale includes deals on three gaming laptops. HP OMEN laptops offer capable gaming performance in a sleek and thin package. These HP configs are equipped with either an RTX 3060 or RTX 3070 video card, which are recommended for portable gaming. A less power video card would limit the games you would be able to play, and a more powerful video card probably wouldn’t be noticeable in terms of 1080p gameplay performance.
