Limited stock in store but available online with free delivery.

Catan
$59 or $49 for new sign ups, delivered. Use voucher below. No need for additional items.

Pandemic: Board Game

Your team of experts must prevent the world from succumbing to a pandemic.

Players: Best with 4. Recommended 2 - 4.
Ages: 8+
Play time: 45 mins
Rated 7.6/10 BGG

Now, if you put in some effort you can get it cheaper.
There’s $10 off $50 spend for new sign-ups. A unique voucher arrives immediately. Then you need to find something worth $1 or more. There’s a variety of socks for $5, I went with the pizza design. Total was $44 for Pandemic and socks delivered. Fortunately free delivery for $45+ applies before discount.

You can also try for cashback, I got a tracking email for $0.49 from Cash Rewards but their terms state:

You may not be eligible for Cashback if a coupon code is used that is not listed on Cashrewards.

And of course there’s always discounted gift cards for a further 5% saving.

          I did buy Terraforming Mars bootleg. The original was so cheaply made that even the bootleg is better quality!

    • sween64 on 07/08/2020 - 13:21

      Let us know if you get wooden markers or plastic knock offs. That's usually a sign of a bootleg version. Not worth the risk at $2.10 cheaper. Or actually more expensive if you go down the $10 voucher and additional item route.

      • Banj0 on 07/08/2020 - 18:13

        Plastic markers in Pandemic mean a knock-off?

        Mine came from Ozgameshop a few years back…it has plastic markers. Everything about the game looks legit though.

        Good game.

        • sween64 on 07/08/2020 - 21:59

          The description mentions wooden pieces but only for some of the markers.

          Spelling mistakes and box quality can also be a give away. My fake Exploding Kittens has a card called “See the Futube”.

          • Mr Bargain on 13/08/2020 - 12:18

            @sween64: Hey OzBargainers,

            I have received my Pandemic board game from Target this morning. I have noticed all the markers, pawns, cubes and stations are all made out of plastic.

            Anyone in the same situation? Do you guys think Target is selling knock-offs?

            Any comments welcome.

            • sween64 on 13/08/2020 - 12:37

              @Mr Bargain: I would take photos and maybe ask in the forums of Board Game Geek. My order hasn't arrived yet. The info I found saying that some pieces were wooden may be outdated.

              • Mr Bargain on 13/08/2020 - 12:46

                @sween64: To be honest I actually prefer the markers to be plastic than wooden ones, at least it's more durable and not easy to damage. I do have to say they are in fact made from high quality plastic and no sharp edges. I might just wait and see what others think. Not that I can do much now even if that are know offs.

                • sween64 on 13/08/2020 - 12:51

                  @Mr Bargain: If they're high quality it's probably legit. The only confirmed knock-offs I have were from Facebook Marketplace. The Exploding Kittens I got had a clear spelling mistake in the rules book (very common as it's not a scan but it's transcriped so that printing is better). The Catan Extension I got has a very poorly made box with raw edges showing. tldr; knock offs are usually easily spotted once in hand

                  I highly doubt Target would knowingly sell knock offs and a doubt it would even happen accidentally, ebay, Amazon, gumtree, facebook, local $2 shop etc is where it happens

    Worth noting Catan is $59 which is good and if you use the sign up code mentioned $49 delivered. Cheapest I have seen known not to be fake is EB last year for $48 however that was not delivered.

        How did you get the $44 for catan + socks? The signup voucher gets the price down to $49, but no further

      Something worth checking if you're having a really tough time: A common rules mistake new people make in this game is that you only need to develop the 4x cures to win the game. You don't need to sunset/completely eliminate all disease cubes to win.

      Not sure if you're making an obscure bad joke. There's the original 2008 version and "the 2013 edition of Pandemic includes two new characters—the Contingency Planner and the Quarantine Specialist". There's also an entire series.

      • Yamun121 on 07/08/2020 - 13:31

    Thanks OP got Catan for $49 after the voucher. I used one my spam email account for the voucher code and redeemed it with an account under a different email address. This confirms that Target are not doing validations for the usage of the voucher code.

      Because this one ends a lot faster, and it’s a place where pretending to be a doctor, scientist etc is acceptable (as opposed to shouting about your rights to not wear a mask, and sitting on Facebook spurting our conspiracy theories).

    Just got an 'out of stock, we've cancelled your order,' email.
    Not too fussed (as much as I was looking forward to finally playing this game), because ordered it along with a few baby things for our soon-to-be newest family addition, I used the $10 voucher and got free delivery for over $50.
    The game will be refunded, but I've still been credited free delivery and the $10 voucher.

    Nice loophole there for people wanting something for nothing ($10 or under) and have it posted free.

  • rockpapercannon on 08/08/2020 - 02:33

    It's out of stock, but you will only find that out after you complete the order. FYI, I did the socks + discount code that the OP suggested, and it looks like I might be getting the socks for free due to a loophole with the promo code + partial order cancellation.

  • sal78 on 09/08/2020 - 07:16

    We received this as a present a few mths ago. Finally decided to play it ladt night. Took ages to set it up.

    We then watched a youtube tutorial which was so long n confusing that we fell asleep. Had no idea how to ‘start’ playing the game. Games are suppose to be fun but this is so confysing. We will neber lay it unless someone comes n teaches us how to play.

    Get fun n easy games like Anomia, Codenanes, Sushi Go etc
