If you’re in the market for new board games, Humble has you covered with its latest bundle. The Board Game Night With Dire Wolf & Friends bundle offers as many as nine digital board games and two add-ons for $18. Among the games on offer are Dune: Imperium, Wingspan, Terraforming Mars, and Scythe, all of which are playable on Steam.

- Wingspan

- Terraforming Mars

Like other Humble Bundles, the Board Game Night bundle comes with multiple tiers, so you can still get some great games even if you don’t want to pay the full price. At the lowest tier, you’ll pay $7 for Sagrada, Scythe: Digital Edition, and Root, along with a coupon to nab Root’s Riverfolk expansion. Paying $10 adds Wingspan and Munchkin to the deal, as well as a coupon for Munchkin’s The Unnatural Axe expansion. For $15, the bundle adds Terraforming Mars and its DLC, as well as Everdell. Finally, the $18 tier tosses in Quilts and Cats of Calico and Dune: Imperium.
Humble Bundles also always pair with a charity, with a portion of the proceeds for the Board Game Night bundle going to the Worldwide Wildlife Fund. You can choose how much you contribute to the charity, or opt to pay more than the top tier cost to increase your donation.
In Dune: Imperium, you’ll use a combination of deck-building, worker placement, and strategy to try to take control of the Spice flow in Arrakis. Dune: Imperium exited early access in March, so it’s still a fairly new release that regularly sells for its full $23 list price. Steam is currently selling it for an all-time low of $16, just two bucks less than the full board game Humble Bundle. Dune: Imperium bundled with eight other digital board games and more content for $18 total is quite the deal. The physical Dune: Imperium board game is available for $51 at Amazon.
Wingspan gamifies bird watching in a way that’s far more engaging than you might expect–your job is to try to identify and attract the coolest bird to your wildlife preserve in competition with up to four other players. Wingspan won numerous awards when it first released as a physical board game in 2019, but the digital edition is superb, too. If you’re interested in the physical board game, Wingspan is available at Walmart and Target.
Another standout is Scythe, which imagines an alternate history following World War I that’s dominated by mechs as factions compete to try to take over a war-torn Europe. Scythe is pricey in physical format ($80 for the base game), so it’s nice to see the digital version in such a budget-friendly package.
Humble has a bunch of other notable bundles you’ll want to check out while you’re stocking up for board game shenanigans. The new Capcom Summer 2024 bundle features 12 games and compilations from the studio’s catalog for $30. The Pixels with Porpoise bundle packs a bunch of great indie titles, including top-tier platformer Celeste and the ever-engaging competitive game Towerfall. For a different set of games to add to your collection, there’s the Lego Worlds Collide: The Ultimate Assembly bundle, which includes 18 Lego video games for just $15.
If you’d like something a little less active than a bunch of new video games, you can grab the Jeff VanderMeer’s Weird Worlds book bundle, which includes 11 novels–just in time for the fourth and final book in the Southern Reach series, which includes Annihilation, the novel that was adapted into the Alex Garland movie of the same name. And for a different take on Lego, Humble has the Build It With Lego bundle, a crop of 20 books that can help you get inspired to make Lego creations and help provide some of the skills you’ll need, too.
