If there's one thing after Christmas lunch or dinner that's bound to elicit a groan from everyone it's whoever suggests a game of Monopoly. What's so fun about paying rent? 

No more. This year, try something new and discover a new family tradition or establish a new favourite for game night with your friends. Black Friday is a great time to take a risk and get that game you've always wanted or something that sounds irresistible. Here are the 5 best board game deals from around the internet this Black Friday. Some are more serious than others, but all are better than Monopoly!
