Welcome to the week of holiday gatherings. Ready or not, we're all about to gather with friends, family, and neighbors to celebrate the season. We'll all eat too much, watch some questionable quality Christmas films, and talk about plans for 2025. But when the topics of conversation end up in a lull, turn to a board game.

Board games are a cheat when it comes to gatherings. They're fantastic for when you get together with great friends for a night or fun or they can totally save what would otherwise be a semi-awkward event.

In either case, Amazon is coming through with last-minute deals on games that make for great gifts or entertainment for a holiday party. Depending on your location, Amazon is likely to deliver these great options on time for Dec. 25 gameplay. Check out our top recommendations.

Why we like it

Piggy backing on the exploration fun of the original Ticket to Ride that spans the U.S., Ticket to Ride Europe heads overseas. From trains to ferries to tunnels, the Europe version of this fan-favorite game asks players to build strategic train routes and complete secret challenges. Not only is the game enjoyable, it helps with brushing up on geography.

Why we like it

Catan is arguably the most iconic board game of this generation. The game that centers on strategy typically costs $54.99 but thanks to today's deal at Amazon, it's just $25. The game could be perfect if your holiday gathering includes friends who love to take part in longer games that take plenty of thought.

Catan is designed for players 10 and older and can accommodate three or four players.

Azul
$31.97 at Amazon
$39.99 Save $8.02

Why we like it

Based on the stunning tilework you'll find in Portugal, the Azul board game is all about tile placement. While its simple rules are easy to learn, it's a challenge to master this game which makes it incredibly fun to play again and again on family game nights. It's also a great option for couples since it's meant for two to four players.

Azul usually sells for $39.99, but it's on sale at Amazon today for $31.97 which means you'll be saving 20% off the list price.

The Nintendo Switch has been the US’s bestselling console for 23 straight months

By
Photo by James Bareham / The Verge It’s been a good two years for the Nintendo Switch. According to Nintendo, the gaming tablet has been the bestselling console in the US for 23 straight months. And according to data from the NPD Group, it just had its best October ever, moving 735,926 units of both the Switch and Switch Lite in the US. The company says that represents a 136 percent increase compared to last year. To date, the Switch has sold 22.5 million units in the US, and last week Nintendo revealed that more than 68 million units have been sold globally . “We’re excited about our momentum,” says Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s SVP of sales and marketing. Chavez puts the company’s big October down to two main factors. One is a better supply of stock; this year in particular, it’s often been hard to find a Switch on store shelves. This has only been exacerbated by increased demand due to a combination of the pandemic and the breakout success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons . ...

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

By
After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

MVP versus EVP: Is it time to introduce ethics into the agile startup model?

By
Anand Rao Contributor Share on Twitter Anand Rao is global head of AI at PwC . The rocket ship trajectory of a startup is well known: Get an idea, build a team and slap together a minimum viable product (MVP) that you can get in front of users. However, today’s startups need to reconsider the MVP model as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) become ubiquitous in tech products and the market grows increasingly conscious of the ethical implications of AI augmenting or replacing humans in the decision-making process. An MVP allows you to collect critical feedback from your target market that then informs the minimum development required to launch a product — creating a powerful feedback loop that drives today’s customer-led business. This lean, agile model has been extremely successful over the past two decades — launching thousands of successful startups, some of which have grown into billion-dollar companies. However, building high-performing product...
