Sixty-one board games read on 5 October. The name on the box is often the only thing two listings have in common, and it is not a specification.
Board games are unusually hard to compare, because two listings can share a game name and nothing else a shopper can check. Across the 61 listings Flipkart returned on 5 October, four carry the name 'Splendor' and sell at Rs. 349, Rs. 377, Rs. 880 and Rs. 2,559 - a 7.33-fold spread under four seller names. At the other end, one generic wooden memory game is sold by four sellers between Rs. 162 and Rs. 227 at badges of 74% to 84%. We did not open a box; neither does the shelf.
Every price below was pulled from Flipkart on October 5, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Flipkart coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.

Four rules. First: a game name is not a specification. Four listings here carry the name 'Splendor' at Rs. 349, Rs. 377, Rs. 880 and Rs. 2,559, and two share the phrase 'Ultimate Banking' at Rs. 1,465 and Rs. 1,516 - with no comparable statement of edition, components or licence on any of them. If the edition matters to you, the listing page is not where you will find it. Second: check the rating count, because on this shelf it is the only field that reliably distinguishes two otherwise identical listings. Two listings here are both Rs. 162 against a stated Rs. 999 at an 84% badge, and carry 3,150 ratings and 227 respectively. Third: expect the badge to run opposite to reputation. The nine hobby-title listings from one seller are badged 19% to 53% against a shelf-wide median of 57%, while a generic wooden memory game is badged 84%. Fourth: count what is in a combo. One listing here sells a stated two games for Rs. 1,228 while a single-game listing of one of them costs Rs. 2,124 - but that comparison rests entirely on the seller's stated contents, which we did not open a box to confirm. If the brief is simply a game that people have actually rated, Rs. 240 buys 9,590 ratings and Rs. 305 buys 13,824, while the four-figure end of this shelf carries almost no published ratings at all. We bought, opened, counted and played nothing.

Each selling price, stated MRP, discount badge, star average and rating count on this page was parsed on 5 October 2026 from the window.__INITIAL_STATE__ PRODUCT_SUMMARY tiles that flipkart.com serves with its own search-results pages for 'board game', logged out, in India, with nothing purchased. 61 listings were returned and 22 are seated.
Four listings here carry the name 'Splendor' and two share the phrase 'Ultimate Banking'. This page reports that they share a name and reports their prices; it does not claim they contain the same game, the same edition or the same components, because a listing page does not say and we did not buy or open any of them.
The shelf-wide median badge of 57%, the 35 listings carrying fewer than 100 ratings at a median of 55%, the 12 listings with no rating at all and the 15 chess listings are counted across the full read rather than the seated cards, so they cannot be an artefact of which cards we chose.
Five of the 22 seated listings publish no star average and no rating count at all and every one of those cards says so. Where a rating is shown the sample size is printed beside it: this shelf carries pools from 12 to 13,824 and a 4.1 on 30 is not the same evidence as a 4.3 on 3,150.
Two listings here are sold as multi-game combos and the comparisons drawn from them rest on the sellers' own stated contents. We did not open a box to confirm what any combo contains, and the cards say so - a stated inclusion that is wrong makes the comparison wrong in the same way.
'Original', 'Deluxe', 'Premium', 'Ultimate', 'Edition', every publisher and game name, every age rating, piece count and player count on this page are the listings' own printed words, reproduced as printed. We did not buy, open, count or play anything, we cannot verify an edition or a licence from a listing page, and nothing here alleges that any seller has misdescribed any product.
In this read of 61 listings on 5 October 2026, board games ran from Rs. 87 to Rs. 4,123. Generic wooden and magnetic games clustered between Rs. 162 and Rs. 630, named licensed titles between Rs. 263 and Rs. 1,040, and hobby titles between Rs. 1,228 and Rs. 4,123. The shelf-wide median discount badge was 57%. Prices change continuously, so check the live page.
We can only report that it does. Four listings in this read carried the name 'Splendor' and sold at Rs. 349, Rs. 377, Rs. 880 and Rs. 2,559 under four different seller names - a 7.33-fold spread. None of them stated edition, components or licensing in a way that could be compared with the others. We did not buy or open any of them, this page does not claim they contain the same game, and nothing here alleges that any seller has misdescribed any product.
Every percentage is arithmetic over two numbers a seller chose. On this shelf the deepest badges sat on a generic wooden memory game sold by four different sellers at Rs. 162 to Rs. 227 against stated MRPs of Rs. 700 to Rs. 999, while licensed games from recognised publishers were badged 20% to 43%. The shelf-wide median was 57% and the 35 listings with fewer than 100 ratings ran a median of 55%. We have not verified that any item was ever sold at its stated MRP.
In this read, a magnetic travel chess set with a folding board at Rs. 305 carried 13,824 ratings at a 4.2 star average - the largest pool among all 61 listings, ahead of a Rs. 240 business game at 9,590 and a Rs. 630 sling puck game at 3,565. All three were priced under Rs. 650. Rating counts are Flipkart's own published figures on the date read and a star average is not our assessment of any game.
On this shelf one was, on its stated contents. A listing selling a stated Catan and Splendor combo cost Rs. 1,228, while a single-game Catan listing from the same seller cost Rs. 2,124 - Rs. 896 less for stated contents twice as large, at near-identical badges of 28% and 29%. That comparison rests entirely on the seller's own stated contents; we did not open a box to confirm what any combo contains.
