Steam is hosting a total of 29 sales this year, and we’re already onto the second event of 2026 – Board Game Fest. Valve’s regular sales events give gamers a great chance to grow their libraries without overspending. While the biggest events are the seasonal sales, the platform also runs smaller themed promotions. Board Game Fest kicked off yesterday.

Best Steam Deck games under $10 in the latest Board Game Fest

As the name suggests, this event focuses on board games adapted into digital form. It’s also a solid sale for Steam Deck users, as we’re seeing plenty of compatible titles priced under just $10. The discounts are impressive as well, with some deals offering up to 80% off.

In any case, here’s our selection of the best Steam Deck games available for under $10 in the latest Board Game Fest. Do keep in mind that the sale will conclude on February 2 at 10 AM PT, so make sure to grab whatever you want before then.

Valve has a verification system designed to let people know which games run well on the handheld system, and as you can see in the table above, there is a mixture of Playable and Verified titles. If a game is Playable, it runs fine, but could do with some tweaks and adjustments for optimal compatibility. But if it is Verified, it should run smoothly right out of the box.

While the system isn’t always 100% accurate, it’s still a useful guide for Steam Deck owners before they buy. There are going to be some interesting Steam sales this year, especially after Valve announced its intention to support “more niche” genres.
