Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 looks to be one of the most exciting upcoming video game releases, but fans can already get their Tyranid-slaying fix thanks to the Space Marine board game adaptation, which is exclusive to Target and 20% off along with a long list of other tabletop games. The deal drops the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine: The Board Game to $32 (was $40), and is eligible for free shipping. To get the lower price, you will need to make a free Target Circle account and sign in before adding the game to your cart. The discount will then automatically apply during checkout.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine takes the basic conceit of the Space Marine video games–a lone Space Marine facing down overwhelming hordes of Tyranid aliens–and turns it into a two-player board game with rules based on the original 40K tabletop wargame. One player controls the Space Marine Lieutenant Titus of the Ultramarines Chapter, and the other commands an army of Tyranids in asymmetric matches that last around 30 minutes. The box includes a grid-based playmat, rulebook, dice, ruler, one Lieutenant Titus miniature, and 22 Tyranids. Each miniature comes unassembled and unpainted just like in standard Warhammer 40,000 tabletop sets, giving new players a taste of what it’s like to build and customize their own army. The minis are also compatible with the standard Warhammer 40K tabletop game.

While this deal is an excellent chance to grab Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and dip into the world of Warhammer tabletop, several other board games are also eligible for the 20% Target Circle discount, including Star Wars Villainous, Disney Villainous, Betrayal At House On The Hill, and more. Check the list below for a selection of our favorite games in the sale, or head over to Target to see all the deals.
