Get your friends together and party like it’s 2011 (holy crap) again, because the Elder Scrolls: Skyrim: Adventure Board Game is currently 39% off on Amazon as we approach Black Friday. Or maybe don’t get friends together, because you can play it with one player, just like the PC game it’s based upon.
Elder Scrolls: Skyrim: Adventure Board Game tosses you into the eponymous province of Tamriel as one of the last remaining members of the Emperor’s personal guard, the Blades. You find yourself pitted against enemies found in the video games, including dragons and Daedra, and travel between the various holds, such as Whiterun and Solitude. You and (possibly) your friends can (cooperatively) customize your characters and take on two campaigns and six chapters to decide the fate of the province.
It’s recommended for players 14 and up, and some have commented that it has a bit of a learning curve to it. It takes around 1-2 hours for a full session. The overall game is (usually) quite pricy but completely within the realm of your typical adventure-in-a-box, so now is a great time to dive in. It’s also worth noting that the box contains:
- Player Figures x6
- Skill Test Dice x8
- Enemy Dice x1
- Health Cubes x4
- Stamina Cubes x4
- Magicka Cubes x4
- Armor Cubes x18
- Track Limit Tokens x12

- Gold Tokens x42
- Component Tokens x72
- Threat Tokens x100

- Starting Player Token x1
- Horse Tokens x4

- Wilderness cards x20
- Town cards x19
- Dungeon Challenge cards x6
- Reference cards x4.
That’s a lot. Like, I wasn’t sure how it would look typed out. I wasn’t prepared. But if you fall in love with it and need even more, there are expansions that you can purchase to get more out of it. In fact, the From the Ashes and Dawnguard expansions are also on sale alongside the base game. Meanwhile, Elder Scrolls: Skyrim: Adventure Board Game is 39% off putting the price at $84.99 for a limited time. To note, that’s actually the lowest price the game has seen.
