Board games can offer lots of funwhen played with friends and family. However, clearing the table and picking up all the game pieces after playing seems like a daunting task. Here are some hacks to organize your collection properly for easy access and cleanup after game night in your Lyndenwoods condo.
Count all the pieces
After a game, you have to count all the pieces to see if they are complete. If they are not, searching for them can be a hassle. Using a simple container like a transparent box or any small storage can minimize the chances of losing pieces. Organize and put labels on them to prevent mixing the pieces together with other items that are not from the game.
Vertical Storage
Make the most of your space by investing in vertical storage like floating shelves or bookshelves to keep things organized and within reach, and become more efficient in storing things.
No bulky boxes
The boxes that board games come in have great designs, but are not practical for storing since they tend to be bulky. They can take up so much space in a shelf. Perhaps you can keep one that you like, but the rest can be transferred to another smaller box so you can manage them better.
Repurpose items you use every day for storage
You can save money on storage solutions for board games by finding current home items you can use as solutions. You can recycle old items to give them a new purpose like a spice rack to display mini-figures, and silverware holders for your cards, dice, and tokens from your board games.
Protect your collection
Buy equipment to protect your board games like silica gel packets, card sleeves, and more, so that they will last longer. Store them in an area that has dry conditions and low temperature to prevent sunlight from getting to them and damaging the box and your board game.
