Forget the next gen console for a moment. It’s almost Black Friday, the start of the holiday season — which means it’s also the start of family board game season. Board games, or table top games as they’re sometimes called, are all part of the holiday tradition: Get the family together, bust out the board games, get seriously competitive. And with plenty of Black Friday deals already live, you can find great discounts on a variety of board games — games for all ages and all budgets — that will keep you and yours entertained for hours.

The latest edition in the excellent Horrified board game series takes on four classic monsters from Dungeons & Dragons — Beholder, Displacer Beast, Mimic, and Red Dragon. The aim of the game is to work together and defend the land against these monsters, while saving innocent citizens along the way — but be careful the monsters don’t attack. Horrified can get unexpectedly tense in the final rounds, and you’ll be surprised how tricky it is to work together and slay the beasts. You can play with different combinations of monsters, which means each game is different.

This brilliant game of deception and bluffing is sure to raise plenty of laughs. Each player picks a card, but only one of them will pick the Chameleon card. The object is to then play a word association game, with each player describing a secret word everyone knows except the Chameleon. It’s the Chameleon’s job to keep their identity hidden and bluff their way through by picking up on clues. The seriously silly fun.

This game is part of a recent trend for app-assisted board games — hey, there really is an app for everything these days —which syncs with your smart device and plays a clip from a movie soundtrack. You then have to guess the movie in 15 seconds or less. It’s safe to say it will best suit movie buffs, but can choose your favorite movie genres and movie decades.

Best Buy Black Friday ad: The best deals you can buy online today

Mashable - Thu, 11/20/2025 - 16:35

We know you might not want to hear it, but Black Friday is very much upon us. The beast of a shopping holiday has been looming menacingly on the horizon for some time, but it will not be contained any longer.

Leading retailers are already dropping their Black Friday ads and early-access deals. We know that shopping fatigue is a real thing at this time of year, so why not beat the rush and all the associated stress and get your shopping done early? You know it makes sense.

SEE ALSO: Target Black Friday ad: The best deals you can buy online early

Best Buy is one of the premier shopping destinations over the Black Friday period, and its savings-packed ad suggests that this year could be its biggest ever.

Best Buy was the first leading retailer to announce its 2025 holiday plans, with early Black Friday deals dropping as early as Halloween (Oct. 31). Now that the 10-day sale is live, it'll run through Nov. 29. Then it'll be followed immediately by its Cyber Monday event on Nov. 30 that runs for 48 hours through Dec. 1. Mark these dates in your diary.

Want to make the most out of Best Buy's Black Friday campaign? We've checked out all the best Black Friday deals and doorbusters from the Best Buy Black Friday ad that you can already buy online.

The best Black Friday Kindle deals are finally here: I found Kindle e-readers starting at $80

Mashable - Thu, 11/20/2025 - 16:35

When the big shopping events like Prime Day and Black Friday come around, our sights are set on our favorite tech. It's often the only time when they're guaranteed to get a discount. My favorite gadgets? Kindles. It's part of my job to test e-readers, but outside of work hours, you'll still find me and my Kindle attached at the hip.

But the thing with Kindles is that they rarely go on sale. Sure, there's the occasional random discount throughout the year, but the best guaranteed price is almost always going to be during Prime Day or Black Friday. So as we look forward to Black Friday, which falls on Friday, Nov. 28, we're already hunting down the best Kindle deals.

As of Nov. 20, Amazon has officially kicked off its Black Friday sales, and the deals rock. All Kindle models are now on sale and down to their lowest prices ever. The Kindle Colorsoft is now down to $169.99, while the basic Kindle reached a new low of $79.99. So if you've been waiting to buy a Kindle, now's the time. Here are the best Kindle deals — on devices and accessories — to shop during Amazon's Black Friday sale.

I didn't know what to expect from Amazon's Black Friday Kindle Deals, but I'm blown away. Every device has dropped to its lowest price ever, and there are some major standouts. The Kindle e-reader with the best discount is the Kindle Colorsoft. It's down to $169.99, saving an astounding $80 off its $249.99 price tag. While I wouldn't recommend buying the device at full price, I think it's an exceptional deal ahead of Black Friday.

The Colorsoft has all the perks of a Paperwhite; it's waterproof, has adjustable warmth and brightness, and has an extremely long battery life of eight weeks. But the bonus? It has full color displays so you can enjoy graphic novels and book covers in full detail.

However, if you're not into the Colorsoft, there are plenty of other stellar deals to shop, including the basic Kindle down to its lowest price ever.

I let the TikTok girlies convince me that I needed a remote control page turner and... they were right. This page turner works by gently tapping the screen of your Kindle when you click on the remote. Paired with a gooseneck stand, it's created the coziest possible setup so I can keep my hands warm under the blankets but still get to the next page in my book. I don't usually like recommending products from random Amazon brands, but the Datafy remote control page turner has worked great for me over the past few months. Ahead of Black Friday, it's just $15.99 — that's $4 off its $19.99 price tag.

If you want to use your remote control page turner, then you'll need a way to prop up your Kindle. I use this gooseneck stand by Magipea. It's super easy to use, able to clamp onto tables of any thickness. It holds Kindles securely, too, no budging if you move or bump into it. It's down to $16.12 ahead of Black Friday, saving you 46% off and $13.87.

I found plenty more Kindle stands on sale, including one that doubles as a snack tray.

My favorite Kindle case is one paired with a PopSockets phone grip. If you're using a grip on your phone, you should definitely be using one on your e-reader. A clear case is suitable for both the minimalists or the creatives who want to customize it themselves. Right now, you can grab each on sale, and while I had to hunt to find these savings, as we get closer to Black Friday, I expect savings on Kindle cases to explode.

Most of the time, I prefer not to buy books for my Kindle and instead borrow books through Libby. But if I do buy a Kindle book, it's usually because it's under $2. Amazon is always dropping prices on books, and you can often find prize-winning and bestselling titles for $2 or less. Last week, the book deals were a little better, but there are still some hidden gems like Writers & Lovers by Lily King for just $1.99.

The 30+ best early Black Friday Apple deals: We already found best-ever prices on AirPods and MacBooks

Black Friday is easily the best time to buy Apple products, and with just about one week to go until the shopping holiday, the deals are already pretty good. You can thank Amazon for that: It's dropped the price of the entry-level AirPods 4 and M4 MacBook Airs to new all-time lows, and taken $50 off the price of most iPads — even the new M5 iPad Pros.

Other retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target aren't price-matching a ton of Amazon's deals on current-gen Apple devices just yet, but they're picking up the slack when it comes to older models. Best Buy is the only place where some M4 iPad Pros are $100 off, for example, and Walmart has an exclusive discount on last year's Apple Watch Series 10 with cellular connectivity. (It's a whopping 40% off.)

SEE ALSO: Amazon just dropped all the details about its Black Friday sale

As per usual, don't expect the Apple Store itself to offer any crazy-good Black Friday deals. If anything, it'll just run one of its free gift card promos.

We've scoured all of the major players' websites and rounded up the best early Black Friday Apple deals below. We'll continue to update it as we get deeper into the holiday season, so keep checking back.

Amazon's Black Friday sale officially kicked off on Nov. 20, and it brought major savings on AirPods. In fact, the deals are kind of wild. Apple AirPods 4 with ANC are now $109.99, which is actually lower than the non-ANC AirPods 4. That saves you $69.01 off its $179 list price, for 39% off. It's the best deal on AirPods we've spotted right now, but there are markdowns on nearly every pair.

Fast and portable, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air is our favorite MacBook for students. The base model is only $750 on Amazon as of early November — a new record low — and I seriously doubt it'll get any cheaper on Black Friday proper. That's a bargain.

The Kindle Colorsoft is finally under $200 — Black Friday is the only time to buy this e-reader

Mashable - Thu, 11/20/2025 - 16:12

SAVE OVER $30: The Kindle Colorsoft (16GB) is on sale for $169.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's the lowest-ever price for this model.

Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Kindle Colorsoft (16GB) $169.99 at Amazon
$250 Save $80.01   Get Deal

I've been hunting for deals for many years. I know my around a sale, so Black Friday doesn't really scare me anymore. But does that mean I can look at every product and tell you with complete confidence whether or not it's worth your cash? No, unfortunately not.

It's a good thing then that I work with loads of experts who test these products on a regular basis, so when I see the Kindle Colorsoft (16GB) on sale for $169.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale, I can ask them for their opinion.

I asked Mashable's resident Kindle expert Samantha Mangino for her assessment: "The Kindle Colorsoft is a solid e-reader. It has everything I love in the Paperwhite — adjustable warmth and brightness, a waterproof rating, and long battery life — but it has the bonus of color. Having tested the Colorsoft for our guide on the best color e-readers, I found it was a good e-reader at a not so great price. However, its Black Friday price of $169.99 is really superb. It finally brings the device under $200, one of the only color e-readers to be that cheap."

What's clear is that buying the Kindle Colorsoft at full price was not a straightforward decision, but at under $170? It's hard to resist. This e-reader has never dropped to anything near this price before, so we really can't see it falling any lower over Cyber Week. If you're interested in buying, this is your moment to strike.

Score the best-ever price on the Kindle Colorsoft in the Amazon Black Friday sale.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping teaser has arrived

Mashable - Thu, 11/20/2025 - 15:56

In The Hunger Games movies, Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) was a grizzled mentor, ravaged by years of trauma and drink. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping takes audiences back 24 years to Haymitch's youth, when he was a tribute in the Fiftieth Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.

The teaser for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping introduces Joseph Zada in the role of young Haymitch. But keen eyes will also spot some other familiar figures from the Jennifer Lawrence-fronted Hunger Games movies. Playing Gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee, Jesse Plemons takes on the role originated by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Elle Fanning pops in as a younger Effie Trinket, originally portrayed by Elizabeth Banks. Ralph Fiennes steps into the role of President Snow, previously played by the late Donald Sutherland, and then Tom Blyth in the prequel The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Not spotted in this trailer are Kieran Culkin as Caesar Flickerman (formerly Stanley Tucci) and Maya Hawke as Wiress (previously Amanda Plummer).

Also joining the cast are Glenn Close, Mckenna Grace, Whitney Peak, Iris Apatow, Kelvin Harrison Jr., and Ben Wang. Director Francis Lawrence, who's helmed every Hunger Games movie to date, is back in charge, with Billy Ray on board as screenwriter.

Playing as a sequel to The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and a prequel to The Hunger Games (2008), The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping adapts the 2025 novel from Suzanne Collins. So, if you haven't checked out the book yet and want to before the movie hits, your countdown begins now.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping opens in theaters on Nov. 20, 2026.

Apple AirPods 4 have never been cheaper at Amazon — score these popular earbuds for $109.99 this Black Friday

Amazon has kicked off its Black Friday sale with a huge number of record-low deals, and we're not talking about big discounts on products you've never even heard of. We're talking about best-ever prices on the most popular products, like AirPods.

Apple AirPods Pro 3 are down to their best-ever price at Amazon, but that's not all: Apple AirPods 4 are on sale for $109.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's the lowest-ever price for this model, so there really couldn't be a better time to shop.

The only question we have at this early stage is whether or not we're going to see anything better. Usually, we would say that patience can be rewarded, but this really is a low price and stock on Apple has been known to drop over these busy shopping seasons. This price is better than we saw in the October Prime Day, so we would be surprised to see another dip.

Grab the Apple AirPods 4 at their best-ever price in the Amazon Black Friday sale. For more deals on AirPods, check out our breakdown of everything on offer over Black Friday.

The best Black Friday Amazon device deals: Fire TVs and tablets at record lows

Amazon's Black Friday sale officially kicked off on Nov. 20, a full week ahead of Black Friday proper. But as you probably know at this point, the actual dates of the sale are blurred beyond recognition. Many deals, particularly on Amazon's own devices, were already live days before the event — and will likely stick around after all is said and done. Other than Prime Day, Black Friday season is the best time of year to score an Amazon device for cheap.

SEE ALSO: What is camelcamelcamel? Just our secret weapon for finding the lowest prices on Amazon.

Plenty of Fire tablets, Fire TVs, Fire TV Sticks, Blink security cameras, and Echos are already chilling at record-low prices. We're particularly impressed by the Fire TV deals, with some 2025 models up to $210 off. As usual, Kindle deals were slim to none ahead of the official event kick-off, but have now dropped with the sale's official start.

We're keeping track of all of the best Amazon device deals below and will continue to monitor anything new that pops up once the sale begins. For deals beyond Amazon devices, be sure to follow along with all of Mashable's coverage in our Black Friday hub.

Amazon's best iPad competitor and our favorite Fire tablet, the Fire Max 11, is down to $189.99 (for the version with double storage) at Amazon during its Black Friday sale — more than 30% in savings. As Mashable's reviewer noted, "The Amazon Fire Max 11 has a large, 11-inch display and is blazing fast, making it a good alternative to pricier tablets for streaming and games." It also features 8MP cameras that support 1080p video, an octa-core processor, WiFi 6 compatibility, and a 14-hour battery life. While it is a couple of years old, it's the newest generation of the tablet available. (The 64GB model is currently sold out after a popular 39% early Black Friday discount. We'll let you know when it returns.)

Wow, Apple AirPods Pro 3 are down to a new record-low price for Black Friday — save over $20 at Amazon

Mashable - Thu, 11/20/2025 - 15:21

SAVE OVER $20: Apple AirPods Pro 3 are on sale for $219.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's the lowest-ever price for this model.

Amazon's Black Friday sale has started incredibly strongly. So strongly in fact that I'm starting to worry where we can go from here. We've already been treated to record-low prices across the board. Are the prices going to continue to fall? That seems unlikely. Will everything just stay the same throughout Cyber Week? I can't see that happening either.

Apple AirPods Pro 3 are on sale for $219.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's the lowest-ever price for this model.

Seeing best-ever prices on brand new AirPods is obviously great, but it has left me wondering how Amazon can possibly top this. Has Amazon just thrown all its cards on the table right away with a huge deal on the most popular earbuds? I should be happy to see this deal but it has left me puzzled.

In Mashable's review of the AirPods Pro 3, Adam Doud said "The AirPods Pro 3 are a remarkable upgrade in functionality over their predecessors, with better battery life and ANC, as well as a new heart rate sensor. If you need a new set of AirPods, this is an easy buy." And at this new low price, it becomes an even easier decision.

Critical Role fans, heres your first look at The Mighty Nein Origins on WEBTOON

Mashable - Thu, 11/20/2025 - 15:00

It's a great time to be a Critter. Critical Role's fourth campaign is in full swing, and their second animated series, The Mighty Nein, just premiered on Prime Video.

That's not the end of The Mighty Nein goodness, though! This Sunday, Nov. 23, WEBTOON will be launching Critical Role and Dark Horse's The Mighty Nein Origins graphic novels as a reformatted vertical scroll comic — and Mashable has your exclusive first look.

SEE ALSO: 'The Mighty Nein' review: Critical Role hits new highs with their darkest series yet

This prequel series delves deep into the pasts of the outcasts who will one day grow to be the heroic Mighty Nein. From Caleb Widogast's traumatic time at the Soltryce Academy to Mollymauk Tealeaf's first visit to the Fletching and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities, there's tons to unpack in each story.

The first story to hit WEBTOON is that of everyone's favorite blue chaos agent, Jester Lavorre. As the daughter of the celebrated courtesan the Ruby of the Sea, Jester's childhood is anything but ordinary. Things get even stranger when this budding prankster encounters the Traveler, a trickster deity who encourages her mischief-making. Covering everything from Jester's youth in Nicodranas to her first meeting with the Traveler, The Mighty Nein Origins: Jester Lavorre unveils the wild pranks and mishaps that brought Jester to the Mighty Nein.

Below, get your first look at The Mighty Nein Origins in vertical scrolling form on WEBTOON.

The first three episodes of The Mighty Nein Origins hit WEBTOON Nov. 23 at 8 p.m. ET. Five additional episodes will be available through Fast Pass, and the series updates every Sunday at 8 p.m. ET. Following Jester's arc, The Mighty Nein Origins will follow the same publication schedule as the original graphic novels, meaning Caleb's story is up next, followed by Yasha's.

The release of The Mighty Nein Origins as a webcomic is part of a partnership between Dark Horse and WEBTOON. Earlier in 2025, the two teamed up to make WEBTOON the online home of other Dark Horse titles like The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Plants vs. Zombies, and The Legend of Korra.

Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins launches Nov. 23 on WEBTOON.

The Kindle Paperwhite is back to its best-ever price for Black Friday — save over $30 at Amazon

Mashable - Thu, 11/20/2025 - 14:43

I spend a lot of my time searching for the best deals from across the internet, but I don't generally buy much for myself. Maybe I'm too deep in the world of online shopping to ever hit "buy now." It's not that I'm reluctant to spend. It's just that there's usually nothing I want to buy. That is until now.

I went into this busy shopping season with one thing on my shopping list: a new Kindle Paperwhite. I've owned a Paperwhite for many years and I love it, but I can only charge it if it's pressed up against the wall at a very specific angle. If the floor creaks in another room, the charge drops. This cannot go on, so I'm committed to finding a good price on a new device.

And it looks like my search is over on the first day of Amazon's Black Friday sale. The Kindle Paperwhite (16GB) is on sale for $124.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's the lowest-ever price for this model, only ever matched in the October Prime Day.

Mashable's Kindle expert, Samantha Mangino, declared in her review that the new Paperwhite "is the only one you need." Sure there are other e-readers out there, but I'm only shopping for the Kindle Paperwhite.

The DJI Mic Mini is one of those products that we keep a particularly close eye on. Mashable readers seems to absolutely love it and it goes on sale a lot. That's a recipe for success, so we make sure we're the first to tell you about any new price drops. And with Amazon launching its Black Friday sale, we were waiting patiently for something to happen.

And we didn't need to wait long, because the DJI Mic Mini (2 TX, 1 RX, and Charging Case) is on sale for $78.90 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's over $90 off and the lowest price we've ever seen. It's worth noting that this item is being sold by Top Sports.

This DJI Mic Mini bundle includes everything you could ask for: two transmitters, one charging case, four windscreens, one receiver, two magnetic clips, and all the other bits you need to start making content without delay. It's a super portable piece of kit with about 48 hours of battery life, so you really can take this mic with you wherever you plan to shoot.

Mashable's Bethany Allard reviewed this mic and said that it "offers a lot of versatility, and for a great value." But at a steep discount? It's a steal.

Beat the DJI ban over Black Friday — get the best-ever price on the DJI Mini 4K drone at Amazon

Mashable - Thu, 11/20/2025 - 13:43

SAVE $60: The DJI Mini 4K drone is on sale for $239 in the Amazon Black Friday sale (exclusively for Prime members). That's $60 off and the lowest-ever price for this model.

DJI has been in the news a lot lately, and no we're not talking about how much all the TikTokers, YouTubers, and filmmakers love the brand. Unfortunately, it's looking increasingly likely that DJI drones will be banned by the end of 2025. That's bad news for creatives, and makes this Black Friday even more important.

This could be the last chance to secure a good deal on DJI drones before they cease to exist in the U.S.

Do not panic, because the DJI Mini 4K drone is on sale for $239 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. According to camelcamelcamel, that's the lowest-ever price for this model. This deal is exclusive for Prime members, but you can always sign up for a 30-day free trial to make the most of this limited-time offer. With all the deals dropping over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it's a good time to be a member.

It's worth noting that this drone is being sold by the Xingtai Store. We don't generally recommend purchasing from third-party sellers on Amazon, but DJI is obviously facing problems importing its drones right now, resulting in stock issues. With that in mind, we're making some allowances right now. And anyway, the Xingtai Store has excellent reviews, so we feel comfortable making this recommendation.

Amazon Black Friday ad: The best deals you can buy online today

Mashable - Thu, 11/20/2025 - 13:09

Don't you just love it at this time of year? You're minding your own business, slowly approaching the end of the year, and then Black Friday hits you like a train, delivering huge discounts of MacBooks, Pokémon, Lego, and everything else on your shopping list. It's not exactly a relaxing period, but boy can you save a lot of cash. So buckle up, shoppers. We've got weeks of deals to check out.

The only way to survive and thrive over Black Friday is to do a little planning. We recommend bookmarking our many Black Friday pages so that our professional deal hunters can showcase all the offers that are genuinely worth your consideration. But besides that, we also suggest making the most out of the Black Friday ads released by leading retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.

Looking for the Amazon Black Friday ad? Aren't we all. Amazon does things a little differently from other Black Friday retailers because it doesn't release a traditional Black Friday ad. Instead, Amazon announces its plans for Black Friday via a press release and then drops a boatload of deals when the time comes.

Amazon's Black Friday sale officially begins on Nov. 20 and runs through Dec. 1, with plenty of deals on offer throughout this bumper event. According to Amazon's official press release, these are the deals we can look forward from Nov. 20:

  • Up to 55% off select home products from Shark and kitchen appliances from Ninja

  • Up to 50% off Amazon devices like the Echo Dot Max, Fire TV Stick lineup, Fire tablets, and Kindles

  • Up to 50% off electronics from JBL and Canon

  • Up to 45% off Bose audio

  • Up to 40% off kitchen items from Vitamix, Staub, Nespresso, and more

  • Up to 40% on select floorcare from Bissell and iRobot

  • Up to 40% off home entertainment from Hisense, TCL, and LG

  • Up to 40% on toys from Melissa & Doug, Little Tykes, Play-Doh, and Nerf

  • Up to 35% on select Samsung and Google products

That's a strong lineup, but it's really only a small sample of what's to come. In fact, we're already seeing record-low prices on hot items like Apple products, Lego sets, and power stations.

Cynthia Erivo explains the story behind her new meme

Mashable - Thu, 11/20/2025 - 12:49

By now you've probably seen the meme of Cynthia Erivo standing in the street, holding up a hand and looking shocked — and now Erivo herself has explained the story behind it.

Appearing on The Tonight Show in the clip above, the Wicked: For Good star explains to Jimmy Fallon that it all came about after she lost one of her favorite hats at Wicked premiere in London last year. In 2025, a fan appeared in an autograph line outside an event in Paris, and told Erivo that she had the hat safe at home.

"So I said to her, 'Can I have it back?' She said 'I don't have it with me right now, it's in my house,'" Erivo explains. "I said, 'Well, when can we get it back?' She said, 'Can I get tickets to the premiere?' 'Listen, fine. Have them.' And she brought it back and I was reunited."

A happy ending for everyone.
