JB's 20% off banner
20% Off Board Games

JB Hifi have 20% off all Board games (Most/All? cards games as well). Some pretty good deal to be had as their starting prices are pretty decent (usually not RRP) already. If you have a perks voucher you can get some of the cheaper games for really cheap.

Edit: Just to add, as magpiejay has said some of JB's prices aren't great so if you're aren't an avid board gamer and are unsure of the pricing for the games, best to check the price at BoardGameOracle. They have detailed price history, a little like the camels for Amazon.

    Sadly JB-Hi-Fi aren't great for board games, unless you want 200 licensed versions of bloody Monopoly you'll never actually play. (Who is still buying Monopoly?)

    That said, they do have a handful of worthy games. They aren't usually competitively priced, so be sure to check the price of the title you are after against the prices at other retailers at: https://www.boardgameoracle.com/en-AU

    • ozbs25 on 25/06/2023 - 14:51

      Some are priced well, some are really expensive. Overall the more popular games that you can find at Kmart and BigW are decently priced. Together with a perks voucher you can get a really good price.

      They released Monopoly Parramatta. F**KING PARRAMATTA!? There aren't even enough iconic places to fill the box cover - there's 2 of the park and a bloody Stone's Real Estate LOL
      a fkn real estate agent makes the most remarkable places in parra. christ almighty, who's buying this crap? get a better hobby dude.

        I hope there are chance cards like "You got mugged" or "Police busted your drug den. Go directly to jail. Do no pass Go"!

      Price matched at Amazon at the moment -

      It's been $145ish from memory.. I tried to coerce my friend into buying it around $150 but couldn't convince him…

        It's okay, more of a solitaire multiplayer game. Unless no player interaction is your thing.

    • schwinn on 25/06/2023 - 15:06

      Azul original version is good, splendour also.

      Wingspan is good but it will take a few rounds before you get it and start having fun.

      If you like a little bit of RPG ish gameplay; Betrayal: the house on haunted hill is a classic

      • Morien on 25/06/2023 - 15:21

        Cool. Will look at those, thank you

      • Jimothy Wongingtons on 25/06/2023 - 15:54

        LOVE LOVE LOVE betrayal but it is soooooooo long especially if introducing it to a new group fml

        • jayz on 25/06/2023 - 16:04

          Yeah great game, but I CBF playing it anymore, as I need to explain the game to newbies and then it takes too long lol. Note this is when people are drinking so their attention span sucks.

      If you want useful answers on this, you'll need to be a bit more specific in what you're interested in. Do you want something you can play with just yourself and a partner? Or are you looking for a more complex/challenging experience that might take a few hours to play through? Perhaps you're more interested in party games where 6 people can sit down and play together without having to think too hard?

      • Morien on 25/06/2023 - 15:22

        I get you.

        I guess I'm looking for games that I can play when I have a few people over. Something we can pick up and play for a while. Party games, yeah.

        I played Catan the other week and that seemed to tick the boxes.

        • Pirateguybrush on 25/06/2023 - 16:01

          Cool, in that case I'd look into Ticket to Ride, Wingspan, and maybe Terraforming Mars if you want something a little more involved.

          • RandomNinja on 25/06/2023 - 16:29

            @Pirateguybrush: If you enjoy Terraforming Mars, TF: Ares Expedition is worth a look too. I personally enjoy Ares more as it's less kibbly and quicker to play, while still scratching that engine building itch.

            • schwinn on 25/06/2023 - 18:50

              @RandomNinja: Ticket to ride: Europe is one of our favourites! More balanced, with stations to help and when you play 5 player the map gets hectic!! Good fun all around

        • sween64 on 25/06/2023 - 23:04

          Ticket to Ride is excellent. Easy to pick up and greet to replay.

          More than that. It's actually a cut down and steamlined version of gloomhaven with many changes that make it much better for newer players and simplify the excessively long setup time that's one of the primary issues with regular gloomhaven

            @Ezuku: I have the base game on PC and yea it's rough for a newbie like myself. Tried getting some friends into it and after getting destroyed on the very first mission they promptly said screw that! I'd like to get into it but haven't the time.

              @dreamstation: The first pc campaign mission is waaay too hard. If you play GM mode it's much easier

            • Ezuku on 25/06/2023 - 17:55

              @dreamstation: I'm assuming you haven't played the boardgame version then? Because probably the single greatest part about the jotl over regular gh is that it uses a book with hexes on it to represent the missions. Far better than tiles and vastly simplifies the setup.

              That said, i personally didn't really enjoy jotl. With only 4 characters, if you have 4 players there's no ability to try anything differently. I really didn't like the demolitionist and found it agonising and tedious to play.

      Be careful - it gets addictive and before you know it, you'll have shelves full of board games!

      My recommendations:

      Classics:
      Ticket to Ride
      Carcassonne
      Wingspan
      Azul

      Cooperative games:
      Forgotten Desert
      Pandemic

      Board games by Phil Walker-Harding (Aussie designer):
      Sushi Go Party
      Barenpark
      Imhotep

      Complex/involved board games:
      Gloomhaven
      Terraforming Mars
      Scythe
      Mansions of Madness

      Fun for kids:
      Fireball Island

      Unique:
      Tzolk'in
      Atlantis Rising
      Steam Up

      Codenames

      Easy to explain, fun to play, anyone who can read can play it.

      Very repayable.

    • Nalar on 25/06/2023 - 17:47

      The crew is worth $17

      • Grale on 26/06/2023 - 11:11

        is this easy for kids to pick up? i read through the instructions once but it's probably going to make more sense when we do a play through.

        • Nalar on 26/06/2023 - 13:22

          yup, there is basically 1 core mechanic. Keeping them silent might be the hardest part.

    • ajee123 on 25/06/2023 - 22:27

      I recommend Quacks of Quedlinburg and basically every Stonemaier game (especially Viticulture). Wingspan is awesome of course, but the lack of player interaction might not be for everyone.

    • sween64 on 25/06/2023 - 23:05

      Another vote for:

      • Ticket to Ride
      • Carcassonne
      • Sushi Go
    • Grale on 26/06/2023 - 11:11

      just tried out ramen fury on the weekend. was really fun and easy to play with the kids. it's cheaper if you find it at your local EB store.or maybe try price matching?

    $167 for HeroQuest is the winner here. With the app to allow solo play it's a great offering

    • Misha Bakunin on 25/06/2023 - 17:14

      It's still a rip off for what you get in the box… it really should be around $100. Apparently the figurines are bad quality…

      • cook99 on 25/06/2023 - 22:12

        The quality improved since the Kickstarter, and even then it was largely exaggerated in my opinion. A lot of people didn't like the softer plastic, myself included, but after seeing the amount of broken snapped pieces of my original vs the much more durable new one … I wouldn't go back
        Each to their own, doesn't feel like a rip off at all for me, but admittedly nostalgia is here

  • Jeffie on 25/06/2023 - 16:40

    I liked JB Hi-Fi for their competitive specials on some great games, but they don't bring out any noteworthy new releases; their catalogue becomes saturated with less-impressive, mass-marketed games instead.

    The Mario chess board is cool, but at least make it obvious who's a knight, rook and bishop.
    Compare this with the Simpsons Chess Board where everyone is dressed up including Maggie on a toy horse.
