Скачать или смотреть BGG's Convention Preorder System—Buy now, pick up at the show!

It's convention season! Scores of exciting new games will be released at this year's conventions, inevitably leading to frantic rushes when the exhibit hall doors open, as patrons scramble get the hot new titles before they sell out. But starting with Origins 2019, BoardGameGeek's Convention Preview allows you to PREORDER the games you want ahead of time — directly from the website, then pick them up at the publisher's booth during the event. This video will demonstrate how this new preorder system can help you get more of the new titles you want more easily. Here’s how it works:

BoardGameGeek publishes an online preview for many conventions. And now, some publishers will be accepting preorders for selected games that they'll have available at these conventions.

Purchasing a preorder allows you to pay now for the games you want; your purchases will be held and waiting for you in that publisher's booth at the convention. Lock in your order today, and your games will be ready for you to pick up, at your convenience.

Purchases are made by credit card, directly from each publisher. This means that if you have a question about your preorder, the publisher will have a record of your purchase, allowing you to work directly with them.

The preorder system is an extension of BoardGameGeek's "Geek Market". This means your preorder purchases are listed in your Geek Market account area, consolidated along with any other Geek Market orders you have placed.

Additionally, preorder purchases are also listed on a dedicated "My Preorders" page in the Geek Market. This page lists all of your preorders and where to find them, and includes a unique confirmation code for each one. Keep your email or print out your confirmation code because you can reference it to expedite the pick-up of your purchase at the convention.

This system allows you preorder upcoming games, then pick them up at your leisure during the convention, eliminating the need to rush when the exhibit hall opens, reducing the amount of cash needed at the event, and — most importantly — giving you more time to enjoy the convention and the new games you get there.

If you have any questions about the Convention Preorder system, don’t hesitate to contact BoardGameGeek. Thanks, and enjoy!
