AOV from game bundles vs single game
Board game buyers collect by genre and player count. A single game gets played twice and sits on the shelf. A curated collection of 3 games covers different moods and group sizes.
The hacks
Game night bundles by player count: 2-player, party, family
"Date Night 2-Player Pack" (3 games designed for couples, $82). "Party Night Pack" (3 games for 6+ players, $88). "Family Game Pack" (3 age-friendly games for 3-6 players, $78). Player count is the first filter gamers use. The pack matches the group.
Genre collection bundles: strategy, party, cooperative
"Strategy Collection" (3 mid-weight strategy games, $98). "Co-op Collection" (3 cooperative games, $88). "Quick Games Set" (3 games under 30 minutes, $68). Genre bundles match the gamer personality. Strategy gamers buy strategy. Party gamers buy party.
Game + accessories bundles with sleeves and organizers
Board game ($35) + card sleeves ($8) + insert organizer ($12) + sand timer ($5) = $60 bundle at $52 (save $8). Accessories protect the game investment. Gamers who sleeve their cards spend more on each game.
Build-your-own game shelf with quantity tiers
Pick any 2 games ($62, save $8). Pick any 3 games ($88, save $17, free shipping). Pick any 5 games ($138, save $37, free shipping + free card sleeves). Self-selection lets gamers curate their collection. The savings scale drives larger orders.
Board game gift bundles for holidays
"Game Lover Gift Set" (2 curated games + snack bowl + score pad + gift bag, $78). Board games are top holiday gifts. The curated selection removes the "which game to buy" decision for non-gamer gift buyers.
Curate bundles by game weight, not just genre
Light, medium, and heavy games serve different moods. A "Light Games Night" bundle (3 easy-to-learn games) converts better for gift buyers than a random genre mix.
