1. Use the tabbed Menu Window to choose the category of board game you are looking for and see the listing of games in that category.  There are tabs across the top of the window that let you search by the language, country, or game title.  If you are not sure which category will list the game(s) you will wish to look at (and hopefully buy) then the first menu tab, "THE PLACE", will offer numerous possibilities.   Clicking on the first link at the top of the list on "THE PLACE" LIST, titled "The Place to Buy Board Games From All Around the World" will show you everything.   It will show you the entire list of games that you can browse through the automated system.

2. When you find a game you wish to learn more about you can click on the "thumbnail" picture. Clicking the thumbnail will open a separate window with either a larger picture or possibly a written description of the game. To return to the Board Game Listing where you clicked the thumbnail just close the window that opened when you clicked the thumbnail picture.

3. If you wish to purchase a game from those you see listed, just enter the number of games of that particular edition you wish to buy in the "Order Quantity" field on the row for that particular game.

4. Choose as many items as you wish to purchase in a given category. It is fairly easy to return to the tabbed Menu Window for a different search, once you've clicked on a specific link to a list of games, by clicking the "Board Game Menu" or "Home" link near the top of the web page.

Please note:  Clicking on the "Update" button to the right of any item quantity or at the bottom of a list of games will add all of the items you have selected from the same menu page to your shopping basket all at once.  This means that if you are buying multiple items in the same category you only need to update your shopping basket once to add all of the items that you select.  Please remember to add items to your shopping basket by clicking one of the "UPDATE" buttons before you search for additional games to buy.  Each time you add items to your shopping basket, the shopping basket page will appear and you can either review your order and check out or continue to shop!

It should also be noted that if you leave your web browser idle for a prolonged period your session will "timeout" and you will need to return to the home page (www.boardgameworld.com) and start over from there.

5. On the order review page, once you select "Check Out Now" and provide your customer ID and password (or create a customer ID and password) then you will be able to select your payment type. Once you select a valid shipping method and "Secure Online Payment by Credit Card or E-Check" you will be directed to the final check out screen which will transfer you to the PayPal secure payments website. There you can finish paying for your order.
