If you want The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth board game at a record low price, come and claim it.

No, really. I’m not sure how long this offer is going to last, so speed may be of the essence. You can pick The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth up for$27.99 at Miniature Marketrather than the full $34.99, and I’ve never seen this board game (which is modeled on strategy classic 7 Wonders) for less.

Seeing as this was one of the new releases I was hoping would get a discount in this year’sCyber Monday board game deals, I’m pretty chuffed. However, I’ve seen good discounts on new releases like this one vanish and not be replaced for ages once stock is gone, so I probably wouldn’t hang about if you were curious.
