The D&D Essentials Kit is half off at Amazon, plus more of the week’s best deals

When the Dungeons & Dragons Essentials Kit launched in July, we were impressed by the new introductory adventure, as well as the updated rules for two-player games. It started as a Target exclusive, and quickly sold out there, but it finally came to Amazon and Barnes & Noble, as well as local bookstores, at the beginning of September. And now it’s dropped down to half off at Amazon, meaning you can start playing D&D for just $12.55.

Also at Amazon, the Xbox One wireless controller is back down to $39.99. While not the lowest price we’ve ever seen on the gamepad, it’s still one of the cheapest first-party console controllers on the market. Amazon Prime members can also take advantage of $15 off Amazon’s streaming device, the Fire TV Stick ($10 more will get you a 4K version.)

Finally, Polygon’s exclusive deal on Civilization 6: Gold Edition is still available at StackSocial. Coupon code POLYGON10 takes an extra 10 percent off the already-discounted game, as well as the Gathering Storm DLC and Civilization 5 Complete.
