Christmas. Time in which the cold predominates, family gatherings and life at home. We could resort to the easy and say that it is an ideal situation to watch movies, series or play the game console. But we are going to look for something different or, rather, something traditional that is not used so much anymore. It’s about the table gamesof which we have made a selection of the most favorites in Xataka.
We have chosen all of Amazon simply for accessibility and speed of delivery. On its website you can find practically all the board games that exist, whether they are more or less known, in addition to the fact that their delivery to your home is usually the fastest, even more so if we are Amazon Prime users.
Throw Throw Burrito
A dodgeball card game. A concept as interesting as it is ambiguous, because at first it is not known for sure if we have to throw cards or balls. The thing is, you have to throw things in this game. A fast-paced title with very fast games, where strategy is combined with interaction between players.
In its short duration, the games consist of accumulating points by matching cards from a deck, and to steal points from your opponent you can challenge them to wars and burrito duels. With everything it offers and the price it has, for 26.99 euros it is a very tempting option.

A fast-paced but classic board game of attack and defense whose objective is to seize and conquer the enemy flag with an army of 40 pieces of different ranks. Its price on Amazon is 34.99 euros.
