Tabletop Projects - Game Storage

Reset During Clean Up

• Shuffle any decks that start randomized
• Sort any components that don't
• Then put the game away

This cuts down on setup time a ton and only adds a bit to the end of game when we're already handling components. This is how our insert trays can go straight from box to table. We do it for all games so components are ready to go as soon as we open the box.

Vertical vs. Horizontal

Vertical. We did a test run and were sold immediately. Stacked boxes risk crushing stuff underneath. With vertical storage, box weight/size/ratio isn't a concern. It's easier to pull boxes out and we can leave their space empty until we're done.

All of our inserts support vertical storage. To get our games without inserts ready we just put heavy items on the bottom, so they don't crush anything when stood up.

Ikea Kallax

We use Ikea Kallax shelves for our games. The cubes fit most game boxes. We can leave out walls to get bigger shelves for large games without sacrificing sturdiness. They come in several colors and different sizes so they fit a lot of styles and it's easy to add more if we need them.
