Tabletop gaming tends to be a pretty geek-friendly pastime, so it's no surprise that there is a bunch of games out there that cater to fantasy and sci-fi nerds. After all, if you're into the obsessive world-building of Settlers of Catan, you're probably also into the obsessive world-building of George R. R. Martin and George Lucas. And for the month of April, Game of Thrones and Star Wars fans who are also into games of strategy are in luck: Walmart is having a big sale on games, including some fantastic titles based around the iconic franchises. Below are some of the best deals, which will last until the end of the month.
