Takin' It to Go Part 3: Cards

Make sure to label things clearly.

So you've got your boards packed up nicely (in Part 1), and your bits are stowed away (in Part 2). What else remains? Of course, that's right, the cards. Almost every game manages to sneak them in somehow, and some games are composed entirely of cards.

Fortunately, cards are flat and rectangular, and stack easily. Unfortunately, not all cards are the same size—there's Euro, American, Mini-Euro, Mini-American, and a few other variations. No worries, though, just keep your wits about you and read this article!

It's holiday season, you've got travels to do, and you've got board games to bring along. But you can never seem to fit as many games as you'd like—after all, you never know the mood people will be in, so you like to have a variety of options.

Takin' It to Go Part 1: The Boards

Let's travel!

It's the holiday season, and for a lot of people, that means traveling. You've got family scattered halfway across the country, and since they don't have the decency to all come to you, you'll probably be on the road, away from home, and away from your shelf stocked with all your games. But you're a gamer, and we all know you're going to be bringing some games along to pass the time. The problem is, when you're trying to pack a car, those game boxes take up a lot of space. Even though you want to have a variety of options available depending on the mood and which people are around, you can only fit a few games, and then of course you risk them getting crushed or damaged in transit.

Fortunately, we at iSlaytheDragon have got your back. I just happen to have a few tips and ideas for packing those games away. With a little effort, you can make sure your collection is safe and that you have the variety you'd like to have available when away from home.  These tips can also help you with gaming conventions and other events in which you might want to have a lot of board games in a small amount of space.
