"If you’re a Star Wars or Pandemic fanatic then The Clone Wars is an easy recommendation," we wrote, "And if you’ve never tried Pandemic before and are keen to play solo games or add a fifth player into the mix, this lightsaber swashbuckling spin-off avoids the need to pick up the original and its necessary expansions to do so." That makes the Clone Wars Pandemic board game an excellent place to start – or to carry on, for those returning players.

Should you buy Star Wars: The Clone Wars Pandemic board game?
Riffing off one of the best Switch games, mobile games, and their subsequent tabletop iteration, this Prime Day Star Wars board game deal will appeal to any fan of Star Wars or the Pandemic games in general. If you were on the fence before about committing to its almost $60 price tag, this 52% discount should take some of the sting out of it.
If you've yet to try the Pandemic games, they're largely emblematic for their incorporation of various skill trees and meters, allowing you to control the growth of a deadly disease from inception in an effort to infect the world before the humans cure it. This is slightly different in the Clone Wars Pandemic board game, where you'll be managing your threat meter instead of balancing fatality versus transmission rates.
As far as Prime Day Star Wars board games go, we can't recommend Clone Wars enough to anyone in search of a multiplayer tabletop game that incorporates clever strategizing alongside iconic characters we know and love from sci-fi's franchise darling. We also have plenty of Prime Day Lego deals if you're after more screen-free gaming experiences, no matter where in the world you're shopping from.
