Reset During Clean Up

We shuffle and sort during clean up so the next time we play we can just set this on the table ready to go.

• 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 used different sizes to build around our table. We were able to add more shelves on the left and remove walls to get room for our larger games.

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.
