I’ve found the 11 best board game deals this Amazon Prime Day — up to 46% off on Catan, Monopoly, and games you’ve never heard of (but should try)

Catan is arguably one of the best board games of all time. This highly addictive strategy game for three to four players turns you into hard-nosed settlers, competing to conquer an island. Collect resource cards to build roads, village and cities, but collecting them heavily relies on dice rolls and trading with other players. Oh, and there's a resource-stealing robber too to spice things up. On average, one game takes up to 90 minutes. Are you up to the challenge?

Who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned whodunnit? Clue is a classic murder mystery board game where you and up to six other players act as detectives to solve a murder. Determine who committed the crime, the weapon they used, and which room the crime took place in. Other players will try to ruin your strategy by using cards in their hands, and the first person to make an accurate accusation wins. This is the perfect game for fans of movies like Knives Out!

If you have never played Guess Who before, what are you doing?! It's simple: you and another player have a board each, featuring many character tiles that can be flipped down, and are assigned a random character from a pile of cards. You must then ask "yes" or "no" questions to decipher the character your opponent has. It's a lot of fun and can get very competitive too. One time in boarding school, one of my dormmates got so mad that she lost, that she threw the board across the room. We all burst out laughing.

Okay, a quick break from games we've all (probably) heard of: how about one that's a little obscure? I've got my eye on Wavelength this Prime Day. Playing in teams, your teammate gives you a hint, like "Coffee." You have to then discuss with your other teammates and turn the dial to where "coffee" might be located along that spectrum. It basically tests your telepathy, and if you're on the same wavelength as your friends.

There's no better time to pick up a FIFA World Cup-themed game than when the FIFA World Cup is on. The game is simple: select and trade players using the 16 Panini cards. The landmarks on the board are historic matches, and you must capture them. Then, when opponents land on them, you can boost your players' attacking or defensive abilities by rolling special dice.

Not to judge a book by its cover, but man does this board game look pretty! This is a great game for 1-5 players, and each game lasts 60-90 minutes. You play as bird enthusiasts seeking to discover and attract birds to your wildlife reserve. You can gain tokens via custom dice in the bird-feeder tower, lay eggs using miniatures, and more. It sounds like a lot of fun, and is certainly one for bird fans (like myself).

Yahtzee is one of my personal favorite games, and it's super easy to play for ages 8 and up. You roll five dice and have to make different combinations to get the most points, such as four of a kind, full house, small straight, or Yahtzee, which is five of the same number. My partner and I play Yahtzee often, and it's a good way to pass the time.

Heat: Pedal to the Metal puts you in the driver's seat where you must race, jockey for position and make strategic moves to outmaneuver your opponents and be the first to cross the finish line. You must also manage your car without overheating by balacing speed and engine temperature. You can upgrade your car and customize it before each race to secure victory too.

Herd Mentality is a breezy party game that's easy to pick up and play. Flip over a card and read out a random question like, "What is the best Disney film of all time?" Players then write down the answer they think will be the most common among the group. If you're in the majority, you win points; if not, you'll be left with the dreaded pink cow of doom. It's a fun, simple premise, one which could see your next game night overtaken by a very heated debate over something as frivolous as the best brand of sneakers.

Azul is a very tactile game about tile laying as you are laying mosaic tiles inspired by Portuguese azulejos. It's easy to learn and deceptively deep in strategy and works great at just about any player count. If you're not feeling tile laying, there is a chocolate variant and three sequels that offer different rules and shaped pieces.

The players (two to five) collect different colored train cards to build on railway routes in North America. They get points by completing Destination Cards, and by building the longest continuous routes. The gameplay gets dramatic as players complete to fulfill routes, all while the train cards start running out.
