Do you want something to un-stick the kids’ faces from their technology? Or perhaps you’re after something fun for a gathering with friends? Look no further, the current 2024 Toy Sale is on now, with massive deals and bargains for everyone!

Current EOFY sales and cold winter nights have families looking for new activities, and board games can bring everyone together around the fire or heater. This year’s Toy Catalogue runs from the 13th of June to the 10th of July, and it’s the perfect time to snag a bargain to stockpile presents before the Christmas rush.

Looking around at all the fancy new technology that has everyone glued to their screens, you would think the age of board games is long gone, however, this is quite the opposite. The team at MKAU Gaming got our hands on Exploding Kittens and Let’s Hit Each Other With Fake Swords, and these two are the perfect addition for a family games night, or fun with friends on a Friday night after a busy work week.

Exploding Kittens is a highly strategic cat version of Russian roulette, where players take turns drawing a card until someone draws an exploding kitten, but there’s a twist. You can diffuse the kitten or use powerful action cards to move and avoid the exploding kitten. Betray your friends, try not to explode, and the last player standing wins the game. It’s a great game to play with younger members of your family.

Let’s Hit Each Other With Fake Swords is the world’s first sword-fighting card game, and to determine the victorious player, you’ll need to collect three matching cards. All while engaging in clever sword-fighting duels. If you want the same card as another player, you have to fight for it, and the cards tell you how to fight.

Additionally, throw in your home-grown rules as you beat your older friends into submission with plenty of fake sword-swinging mayhem. There’s something quite therapeutic about hitting someone with a sword that I can’t put into words, but you get the idea.

Exploding Kittens and Let’s Hit Each Other With Fake Swords are endless amounts of fun. Not only are they great for the kids, but even adults can join in on the fun. If I still haven’t fully sold you on these board games, you’re in luck. Other top game suggestions for 2024 are Herd Mentality, Block Party, Dumb Questions To Ask Your Friends, You Can’t Say Umm, Get The Ick, Throw Throw Burrito, and Zombie Kittens.

If you’re stuck on the fence about what to get someone for a birthday or Christmas present, then now is the perfect time to grab a bargain on some toys or board games. JB HI-FI currently has an EOFY sale on board games from the 20th of June until the 30th of June this Sunday so jump in quick before you miss out!
