Best Game Tables for Christmas 2026
In-stock poker and board game tables to give this Christmas, and the order-by date worked out from the real lead times.
Updated November 4, 2026 · Grand Game Room specialists
Order by Thursday, November 12, 2026
BBO Poker Tables and Game Theory Tables quote a delivery lead time of 1–6 weeks depending on configuration. To be safe we count the full 6 weeks: delivery by Christmas Eve (December 24) means ordering by Thursday, November 12, 2026.
- In-stock tables (below) are the safest gifts; the 6-week count is the upper end of their range.
- Backorder and made-to-order tables use the same conservative 6 weeks, so the same date applies, but their timing depends on production. If Christmas delivery matters, choose an in-stock table.
- Not recommended for Christmas this year: tables the manufacturer currently lists as shipping in December or November/December: Nomad TCG, Nomad TCG Max, Nomad Max War, Nomad Max and Smart Fold Oval.
- After November 12 we cannot promise Christmas delivery for any table. In-stock tables may still arrive in time, but we will not guarantee it.

Hiding a table until Christmas
Tables arrive on a pallet in several heavy boxes. Before you sign, scan the QR code on the "Don't sign yet" label, complete the receiving form and count the boxes against the delivery receipt, even if the boxes are going straight into the garage.

Free curbside freight to New York, New Jersey and Florida
Every price on these tables includes curbside freight delivery to the lower 48 states, which covers homes in New York, New Jersey and Florida as well as everywhere else on the mainland. We do not have a showroom or warehouse in those states: tables ship on a pallet by freight from the manufacturers in the Las Vegas area, and the carrier calls you ahead of time to book a delivery window. Delivery is to the curb; plan on helpers to carry the boxes in (BBO recommends two people for its tables). Alaska and Hawaii are not covered.
