Do you think the world of boardgames is like a godawful maze? Do you have trouble navigating the great material currents towards the perfect gift? Despair no longer! Our Ultimate Boardgame Christmas Shopping Guide is here to help!
Get ready for the Godzilla of all BGUs! As promised we've made a list of some of the best selling board games in our store. Among these are classics, latest hotness, and really dependable good games. If you can't find a single item that interests you in this list then maybe board gaming simply isn't for you, my friend! (or perhaps you're such a pro that you've already got everything!)
In order to make navigation easier we've broken down our list into segments. Simply click on whatever section you want to see in the right hand panel and we'll take you there.
Furthermore, should an item be out of stock for some reason you can still backorder it! Simply send a mail to shop@outpost.be and we'll get right on acquiring you that game.
Additionally, with Christmas just around the corner, it should be noted that any order made in Belgium should arrive at your door about 2-3 days later. However if you are in desperate need of time you can choose to pick it up at our store in Antwerp the very next day after you placed your order. Bear in mind that these are estimates, as you can imagine things do sometimes go haywire with the shopocalypse that is the holidays, but mostly it's accurate. In any case you will always get an email notification whenever your package is ready.
Now that we have that out of the way we can almost jump into our shopping guide! I hope you'll enjoy it and find something cool for your family, friends, and loved ones. After all: boardgames bring us closer together (except when playing monopoly, that game has ruined more relationships than I care to count!)
In closing I just want to say from everyone here at Outpost: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
