It’s only 20$, has about 50 games on it, and the cost of that game plus a brand new DS is still cheaper than a DSi.

While I like the suggestions, I followed the link to Stratego book and found that it seems not to be made anymore. This is a pity, because Stratego is my second favorite Hasbro game, behind Catch Phrase.

Game boxes… One of our favorite games is the Settlers of Catan, and we bought all the expansions, so we actually have six of the Catan games that are played together (Catan, Seafarers, Cities & Knights, plus all the 5-6 player expansions for each). I took a collectible card case (about the size of a small toolbox or tackle box) and cut one side for the long pieces, while everything else fits in the slots. Six games, one box, with a convenient carrying handle!

I put them in a single closet too… on a metal shelve unit… it also keeps our christmas wrapping supplies… it is actually fun to go in there and try to find just the game you want… No light however, so bring your flashlight! ?

Although the board games are creeping over into my craft storage (I surrendered a shelf after Christmas, and will likely lose another one after the husband’s birthday), I would never consider separating the board and pieces from the box. The value of keeping a set together is a higher priority for us than how much space it takes up on the shelf. If that means I’m not allowed to read Unclutterer anymore, so be it!

why can’t they sell board games with plastic or tin boxes? The cardboard always falls apart.

I purchased a plastic storage container with tray drawers–like you would buy for nuts and bolts in the garage. I take the pieces from a game, place them in the drawer, then label it. The boards are stacked flat in my games cupboard along with the storage container. When we want to pull out a game, we grab the appropriate drawer and board and off we go. Some games require more than I drawer, but that’s not a problem. It’s easy to find a piece to “borrow” when a game is missing something, too.

A neat way to decorate the game room: Velcro the game boards onto the wall. Store all relevant game pieces and instructions in baggies.

My son loves puzzles, and has lots and lots of them. We have stored them all in a big plastic tub which he keeps in his room, and he gets one box out at a time. He gets out his “puzzle board” to work it on, since doing it directly on the carpet can be frustrating for him because the surface is not completely flat. Puzzle boards are just some small painting canvases we bought and store behind the tub of puzzles.

Some of the puzzle boxes, with use, start to get worn. He likes to look at the picture though, so we just reinforce the boxes with clear packaging tape. Then they are quite sturdy and he can look at the picture as he works.
