Many of the aspects that make a great video game also make a great board game--such as strategy, cooperation, and an engaging storyline. So it should come as no surprise that dozens of games, including Dark Souls, Fallout, and Skyrim have been translated into rich tabletop adventures. Best of all, many of these board games and card games are on sale at Amazon, making this a great time to see your favorite characters take on a new type of quest.

　　Typically selling for a staggering $110, the Bloodborne Board Game is now just $88. That’s still a bit pricey, but it offers a challenging, cooperative journey for up to four players, along with innovative card-based combat and a modular design that gives the action tons of replayability. It also comes with a few highly detailed miniatures. Alternatively, you can grab Bloodborne: The Card Game for $44.59 or Dark Souls: The Card Game for $34.

　　Looking for something a bit more affordable? Check out the Pokemon Battle Academy Board Game for $13 or the Pac-Man Game for $15. Pokemon Battle Academy shows you the ropes of the Pokemon Trading Card Game, so it's a great place to start for newcomers.

　　Plenty of other great video game board games are on sale right now, and you’ll find a long list of the best deals below. There are also a few great deals on traditional board games, including the Dominion Big Box Strategy Game for $46 (down from $75) and the standard Dominion board game for $36.
