This list began with a desire to find cheap games which are highly ranked on BGG. All of the GeekLists I found on the subject were either out of date or not very systematic, so I decided to make my own. I have attempted to list all the games ranked in the top 1000 which are, more or less, readily available for $10 or under, not counting shipping. Alongside each game, I mention a store where it is available and the price. So, whether you are looking for that last game to round off your order or you're just strapped for cash, this list is for you. Feel free to leave comments about the individual games. By the way, this is my first GeekList, so I hope you enjoy it.

Cheapskates, unite!

With the plethora of different ways Magic cards are sold these days, you can surely get enough cards to play a game for under $10, so it technically qualifies. But be warned: If you get hooked on this game, you will probably end up spending lots and lots of money on it. So, I wouldn't recommend it as a low-budget game. The same goes for most of the collectible games on this list.

Peasant Magic

It costs less than $10.

From the site:

Peasant Magic
Standard Peasant Magic tourney rules

Standard Peasant Magic tournament rules are a variation of the DCI's standard Magic floor rules. The variant rules used at GenCon 2001 and other non-standard variant rules appear elsewhere. A complete copy of the standard Peasant Magic tourney rules follows, or you may access a short page of permitted and banned cards.
Peasant Magic Rules
Authorized cards

Decks may consist of at least sixty cards, containing:

Cards from any published Magic set wherein cards were assigned a rarity value by WotC. This includes Unglued, Starter, and Portal, but does not include promotional cards or cards from pre-built sets like Vangaurd.
No more than five (5) uncommon cards. In Peasant Magic Tourneys that permit Sideboarding, these cards may be present either in the deck or in the sideboard.
No (zero, 0, nada, zilch, empty-set) rare cards.
At least 55 common cards.
There may be no more than four (4) copies of any single card except basic land.
Snow-covered land counts as a basic land.
In the event that a deck contained cards that must be physically destroyed to be used (like Chaos Confetti from Unglued), players were allowed to replace the destroyed card after each game in which they destroyed a copy of the card.
If a player runs out of copies of a card, then they must fill their deck with basic land(s) of their choice.

Card rarity

Card rarities are listed on the Wizards of the Coast website, in text files for each expansion. If a card does not have a listed rarity, then it is not allowed in Peasant Magic Tournaments. In general, all card sets listed under Starter Sets, Limited-edition Expansion Sets, and Basic Sets on that page are allowed. From Special sets, only Unglued and Chronicles/Renaissance are generally allowed.

Cards from other Special sets (like World Championship decks or Vangaurd) are allowed if the card was issued is another set with a legal rarity (Common or Uncommon). However, players must use deck protectors if their decks contain cards with different backs.
Card issued with different rarity ratings

If a card is listed with two different rarities in two different editions, use the most common rating for calculating rarity. For example, Wyluli Wolf is Rare in Fifth Edition, but Common in Arabian Nights. For Peasant Master tourneys, Wyluli Wolf is Common.
Exceptions

Strip Mine is officially an uncommon card, even though it had a version that was rated as common. This is a change from the general rule to limit strip mines in tourneys because of power. This rule is in effect at GenCon and Origins during the 2003 tourney season.
Restricted / Banned cards

Cards that are restricted or banned in Type 1, Type 1.5, and other DCI constructed tournaments are allowed in Peasant Magic, with the following exceptions, up to four (4) copies permitted in a deck.
Peasant magic official banned list

The following cards are banned for purposes of peasant magic due to irrational expense and some amount of rule breakage. These cards are not permitted at tournaments using the "official" Peasant Magic rules as determined by the Peasant Council, but may be permitted in other peasant tournaments at the discretion of the head peasant (re: top judge). See tournament notifications for details on specific tourney rules.

Card interpretation

Cards are interpreted using the appropriate card ruling section of the Oracle card reference. During sanctioned competition, players must refer to this version of a card to settle disputes concerning the interpretation of a card’s wording or powers. Card abilities are based on card text, not artwork.

Players may not use previously or newly discovered errors or omissions in Oracle to disrupt a tournament or otherwise abuse the rules. The head judge is the final authority for all card interpretations, and he or she may overrule Oracle when a mistake or error is discovered.
Tournament mechanics
Match structure

There are three games per match. Drawn games (games without a winner) do not count towards one of the three games in a match. The match should continue until one player has won the majority of games as long as match time allows.
Match time limits

The following time limits are used for each round of the tournament:

Initial rounds—60 minutes
Single-elimination semifinal matches—90 minutes
Single-elimination final matches—no time limit

Who plays first

The winner of a coin toss (or other random method) chooses either to play first and skip his or her first draw step or to play second. The winner of the coin toss must make this choice before looking at his or her hand. If the coin toss winner makes no choice, it is assumed that he or she is playing first. The player who plays first skips the draw step of his or her first turn. Each turn thereafter follows the standard order set forth in the Magic play rules.

After each game in a match, the loser of that game (even if the game loss was due to a penalty) decides whether to play first in the next game. If the game was a draw (so that there was no winner or loser), the player who decided to play or draw for that game chooses for the next game.
Pregame procedure

Before a game begins, players determine who plays first. This may be done any time during the pregame procedure before the players look at their hands. (Note that players are not required to decide who plays first before sideboarding.) The following steps must be performed before each game begins:

Players may exchange cards in their decks for cards in their sideboards (only after the first game of the match).
Players shuffle their decks (see Universal Tournament Rules, section 21). Note that players may stop shuffling to perform additional sideboarding, but must then shuffle sufficiently.
Players present their decks to their opponents for additional shuffling and cutting.
If the opponent has shuffled the player’s deck, that player may make one final cut.
Players present their sideboards and put them in a clearly distinguishable place.
Each player draws seven cards.
Each player, in turn, decides whether to mulligan.

Once mulligans are resolved, the game can begin.
Mulligan rule

Before each game begins, a player may, for any reason, reshuffle and redraw his or her hand, drawing one less card. This may be repeated as often as the player wishes, until he or she has no cards left in his or her hand.

The decision of whether to mulligan passes between players following the order established in Who goes first. After the participant who plays first mulligans as often as he or she likes, the decision of whether to mulligan passes to the other player. Once a player passes the opportunity to mulligan, that player may not change his or her mind.
End-of-match procedure

If the match time limit is reached before a winner is determined, the active player (as defined in the Magic game rules) finishes his or her turn and five total additional turns are played. For example, time is called on player A’s turn. Player A finishes his or her turn. Player B takes his or her turn, which is turn 1. Player A takes his or her turn, which is turn 2. Player B takes turn 3, player A takes turn 4, and player B takes the final turn, which is turn 5. Players take any extra turns granted to them by card effects as they normally would during the course of the game, but any extra turn counts as one of the five end-of-match turns. Once the fifth turn is completed, the game finishes regardless of any remaining card-generated or end-of-match extra turns. If the game finishes before the fifth turn is completed, the match is over and no new game begins.

If a judge assigned a time extension (because of a long ruling, deck check, or other reason), then the end-of-match procedure does not occur until the end of the time extension.
Determining a match winner

In Swiss rounds, the winner of a match is the player with the most game wins in the match. If both players have equal game wins, then the match is a draw. In single-elimination rounds, matches may not end in a draw. After the normal end-of-match procedure is finished, the player with more game wins is the winner of the match. If both players in a single-elimination tournament have equal game wins when the normal end-of-match procedure is finished, the player with the highest life total becomes the winner of the current game in progress. In the event the players have equal life totals (or are between games and the game wins are tied), the game/match should continue until the first life total change that results in one player having a higher life total than the other.
Rules for constructed deck tournaments
Deck size limits

Constructed decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards. There is no maximum deck size. If a player wishes to use a sideboard, it must contain exactly fifteen cards.

With the exception of basic lands (plains, island, swamp, mountain, and forest [including snow-covered variants]), a player’s combined deck and sideboard may not contain more than four of any individual card, counted by its English card title equivalent.
Sideboard use

Before each game begins, players must present their sideboard and allow their opponents to count the number of cards in their sideboards (face down), if requested. Players may not look at their sideboards during a game. The sideboard must be clearly identified and separated from all other cards in the play area. The sideboard may not be kept where it could be easily confused or switched with other cards.

The deck and sideboard must each be returned to their original compositions before the first game of each match. Thus, cards transferred from a player’s deck to his or her sideboard, and vice versa, must be returned before the player begins a new match. If a penalty causes a player to forfeit the first game in a match before that game began neither of the players of that match may use cards from their sideboard for the second game.

Before the beginning of the second or subsequent game in a match, players may change the composition of their decks by exchanging cards from their decks for cards in their sideboards. Any card exchanges between decks and sideboards must be made on a one-for-one basis to ensure that the sideboards remain at exactly fifteen cards at all times. There are no restrictions on the number of cards a player may exchange this way as long as one card from the deck is traded for one in the sideboard.

A player’s deck and sideboard may not contain more than 5 total cards of uncommon rarity. The uncommon cards may begin each match in the deck, the sideboard, or in a combination of both locations. 1

The list is not best bang per buck, it’s best game for under a certain threshold of buck.
It’s sorted by BGG rank.

Chess belongs on this list. The list is not "how to become a tournament winning player" for less than ten dollars, it is quality games that can be bought for less than ten dollars. I have played many very enjoyable games of chess on crappy boards that would retail less than $10.

Unfortunately your arguments (even in jest) for taking chess of this list don't make any sense. You get ALL the components of a game in any complete chess set, the quality of the components is the only difference and they don't affect play. With that argument you would have to compare a cheap chess set against the cheapest complete set of Magic (used or otherwise) how much would that cost you? For all the components (cards)...oodles more.

Chess is a much better game than Magic has ever been or will ever become.

This is in my top 10 and I think for the depth of strategy it has, crossed with the luck excitement of what the next card is, especially in later rounds of a close game, this game is a pinnacle of brilliant design.

I made a homemade copy of this before the English reprint of "Geschenkt" came out and I just add poker chips as necessary for the number of players. I do plan to buy the real version next time I place an order with my favorite on-line reseller because my card-stock version is hard to shuffle. It's a fun game. Our group calls it "Chip Whore" because that's what you need to be to win.

In some places Cribbage is played to 181 pts... I read that in a book about the history of card games once! I have never seen a custom board to accomodate though.

Standard Cribbage boards can accomodate playing to 181 points easily. Instead of going up and down the 60 pt track, simply take one more half turn up the track and finish at the top rather than the bottom.

If your board is the continuous 121 pt. variety, however, you have to end it, restart and play to 60 -- a bit less elegant.

Its rare to find a thrift shop without at least one board. Even if its missing the pegs, they can be had for a $1 at the dollar store.

You could play this with a standard deck of cards, but there are several specialized decks out there which can give your game a little more atmosphere. For example, Thought Hammer has Lupus in Tabula for $7.00.

Sticheln is a VERY good game. Another game that's underrated on BGG. It's cheap, has very interesting (can be vicious) game play... can accommodate up to 8 players and plays in less than an hour. It also has several variant rules which you can experiment with to see which game style you prefer.

It's one of those games that feels like a cross between a filler and a slightly meatier game. As a bonus... Sticheln cards are excellent to play around with to make prototypes of other card games.

Great bang-for-the-buck for under $10.

It's probably best to go for a cheap set that uses Chinese characters. I know nothing about the Chinese language but after a game or two I became able to recognize all of the pieces on my set.

Chinese Chess pieces almost always come with a paper or plastic folded board that is more than sufficient to play the game on. All the old guys in Hong Kong seem to play on those paper boards. You could spray mount the board onto posterboard, foamcore or masonite but it loses its portability. Instead get out a ruler and draw one yourself and keep the paper board for playing on the go.

For people who like to draft in CCGs this is a fun and quick game. I've played it something around 20 times in the last two weeks. Good to close out an evening or just to fill a few minutes. Our 3-player games normally take only about 10 minutes start to finish.

This is the first game I thought of when I saw this list. Played a couple of games last night. It came down to the Sheriff and Deputy v. one outlaw (I was renegade and already dead). Deputy puts out dynamite that makes one complete rotation around the table and then explodes on the Sheriff! The outlaw wins! We had a blast playing this very low priced gem.

I on the other hand think it deserves an even higher rating on BGG which it would likely have if more people tried the game. It is at least as good if not better than other fillers that occupy higher slots on BGG. It's basically a fast playing "no luck" card game which is dead easy to play yet still is interesting and challenging.

"No luck"? Really? You must have a different definition of luck than me. I dislike it precisely because it is so random. Leaning that way on For $ale, too, but that game is quicker and, to me, more interesting.

Again a CCG.

In most cases I would say, you cannot play the game for just $10--your opponent is going to need a deck too, at least. And often you'll need many decks to get enough cards to cull a playable deck. (AFAIK, ME CCG is more playable than most straight out of a starter deck.)

Unlike magic, this game has a full solitaire experience. I learned a lot about Middle Earth and its people by playing this version of the CCG. I almost even won a couple times...

A great multiplayer game that is a nice "end of night, everyone plays together as last game" game laugh well worth the investment in sheer return of games and enjoyment to be had. Repeated plays actually can increase it's fun among regulars ("oh, it must be Stew, he's always the Saboteur!")

Absolutely great game. Also consider adding the expansion (Saboteur 2), which refreshes the game and makes it even more fun.

Inspired by this list, I've created "Good & Cheap II," which is limited to non-card games but expands the range to the top third of ranked games. Please check it out and add any games that I've missed!

This new list has over 50 items on it, none of which are card games. Check it out.

I think Hey, That's My Fish! now qualifies; the FFG version can be found in the $8 or $9 range online.

Yes, it does, and it's also not a card game like many of those listed here. I just added it to the "Good & Cheap II" list, which I recently updated for the holiday season!
