While we still don’t have a true co-op mode in Horizon Zero Dawn or Horizon Forbidden West, players looking to hunt down machines with a few buddies by their side can instead opt for the Horizon Zero Dawn Board Game. Typically sold for $100, the massive tabletop collection is now just $72, which is one of the better prices we’ve seen throughout 2024.

Created by Steamforged Games, Horizon Zero Dawn: The Board Game is billed as a semi-cooperative tactical game. It supports between one and four players and tasks them with tracking down and defeating a Machine. If anyone in the party dies, the game ends–so you’ll need to keep a close eye on your teammates while also building your own deck of cards to help win the battle.
Several playable hunters are available, each with their own set of skills, which should add a bit of replayability to the action. Depending on how much time you have available for your game night, you can run through an extensive campaign or break things into smaller play sessions with shorter quests.
Inside the box, you’ll find four hunters (Nora Marksman, Carja Warrior, Banuk Survivor, Oseram Forgesmith), four Watchers, four Striders, four Grazers, four Scrappers, two Shell-Walkers, two Sawtooths, and all the extra cards, dice, and tokens you’ll need for a game session.
Once you’ve played through the base game several times, you’ll probably be ready to handle an expansion that throws even more challenging beasts your way. Many of these are on sale today–below you’ll find the complete list of Horizon Zero Dawn expansions.
