Earlier this week, Amazon and Walmart dropped a limited-time deal on the new Lego board game, and now that deal is even better. The family-friendly strategy game Lego Monkey Palace is on sale for only $25.56, which is over 35% off its $40 list price.

The Lego Store recently sold through its stock at full price.
