FULL STORY ======================================================================
If youre a Star Wars fan who likes video games, youve been treated to a feast of tasty discounts this Amazon Prime Day.
As part of this year's Prime Day Deals , the prices of plenty of excellent Star Wars video games have been slashed to record lows. Today is certainly a good day to be a fan of the galaxy far, far away, and weve rounded up some of the Star Wars game deals below.
But its not a video game that most excited me. There have been many brilliant Star Wars board games released over the years, and one, in particular, has dropped down to such a low price on Amazon that even the hardiest smugglers
in the galaxy wont be able to resist. The best Star Wars gaming deal on Prime Day (Image credit: boardgameshot)
Star Wars: Unlock is the game that any wannabe Jedi or aspiring imperial stormtrooper should have in their sights. A Star Wars-themed spin-off of the main Unlock series, its essentially an escape room in a box that challenges you and your buddies to complete a series of puzzles against the clock.
Better yet, it's received a 40% discount for Prime Day, bringing it down to the lowest price its ever been. (Not in the UK or US? Scroll down for the
best Star Wars deals in your region)
The game is remarkably straightforward, using nothing but a deck of cards and a companion phone app. Youll be scouring location cards for clues, piecing together subtle hints, combining cards to unlock new areas, and racking your brains to solve all manner of puzzles and obstacles.
Although the game only uses a slim number of components, it does a wonderful job of simulating the experience of an escape room. You'll progress to new areas, carry equipment with you to new rooms, and have to pull together the collective genius of your group if youre to have any hope of escaping your predicament within the 60-minute time limit.
It's the perfect game to play with family and friends, encouraging you to
work together while adding just enough challenge to threaten your
friendships. Plus, it takes virtually no time at all to pick up, with its super concise single-page rulebook.

All the Unlock games brilliantly lean into their themes, and this Star Wars edition is no different. It includes three adventures, with each one
gradually upping the difficulty. An Unforeseen Delay will have you escape the holding cells of a Star Destroyer, Escape From Hoth will send you into the thick of battle on the titular planet's rebel base, while Secret Mission on Jedha has you recover an ancient artifact.
Its worth noting that the three adventures can't be altered. Once youve
played through them, theres no mixing them up or changing around their puzzles. Youll have to forget their solutions if you want to experience them again. But thats not a problem Ive played through several Unlock games multiple times, having barely remembered their puzzles under the stress of each game.
The game's also totally reusable. Unlike the popular Exit series of escape room board games, Unlock doesn't require you to rip, tear, or mark its components in any way, letting you can return to them time and again.
But even if you only play through each adventure once what a grand old time you'll have. Star Wars: Unlock might not be the most popular board game adaptation of George Lucas's beloved universe, but it definitely deserves a spot on your shelf. More Star Wars gaming deals
