I don’t know how or why or for how long but Amazon has select Board Games at Buy 2 Get 1 Free. I can’t find a page that shows all the games. I just had to start clicking on games and looking under “Special Promotions” on each one to see if it said it was included. It looks like most of them are from what I would call the “strategy” genre.
