Stressed by Board Game Storage? Get Rid of It!

Why Does Board Game Storage Cause Stress for Gamers

From feeling overwhelmed by storing new board games and expansion packs to being frustrated by lost or hard-to-find game components and the exhaustion from constantly organizing their collection—these are all the stresses that board game storage places on gamers. These pressures steadily drain their energy and enthusiasm, persisting until some players eventually give up on board gaming altogether.

Here are the main reasons why board game storage causes stress for gamers:

• Storage needs keep increasing.
• Game components can easily get lost or damaged.

Storage needs keep increasing

Space pressure is the most direct form of storage stress for board games. New board games and expansion packs keep eating up more and more space. Even if you’ve already carved out a spot for them, your growing collection can quickly outgrow it. As storage space becomes increasingly limited, you’ll find yourself worrying more and more about where to store new games and expansions.

In addition to the shrinking storage space, the rising demands on storage methods also put immense pressure on board game players. Simply stacking boxes is no longer enough, as it makes it difficult to retrieve the game you want. When you try to pull one out, the surrounding boxes often collapse, potentially scattering or damaging your games. You then have to reorganize everything or spend a lot of time searching for them the next time you play. It’s a frustrating experience!

The continuously growing need for storage will keep adding pressure on board game enthusiasts.

Game components can easily get lost or damaged

Even if poor game storage doesn’t cause you to lose an entire game, it almost always leads to missing pieces. Sure, you might be lucky enough not to lose anything completely—but even constantly searching for pieces can be frustrating. Is there anything more infuriating for a board gamer than discovering a missing piece? If there is, it’s probably the endless search for it—or finding it damaged.

Think about it—how awful is it to have your game pieces lost or damaged because of poor storage? You’ve dedicated time to gathering with friends and planning a fun board game night, only to have storage issues ruin it. A wonderful evening is completely spoiled. And even if you’ve spent countless hours searching for those missing pieces, can you really dive right in afterward? Getting into the groove of a game takes time, and that whole process is destroyed the moment you have to hunt for lost components.

The thought of losing or damaging game pieces is truly unsettling, no matter how careful you are. It’s incredibly stressful.

Extend the Lifespan

Being forced to stop playing because of missing components is always frustrating—and so is breaking them. Imagine how much longer you could enjoy your games without worrying about losing or damaging any pieces. The answer? Infinitely longer! Ultimately, the lifespan of your games comes down to how you store them. The better your games are stored, the longer they’ll stay in great condition. Good game storage keeps every component neatly organized, so you never have to worry about pieces getting lost or knocked around.

Reduce Waiting Time

For eager board gamers, spending countless hours searching for games or accessories before starting is always frustrating. Getting into the flow of a game takes time, and searching for pieces only eats into that time, wasting precious gaming hours. This is truly a shame. With good game storage, where each game and accessory has its designated spot, you can save countless hours before the game even begins!

What Are the Board Game Storage Solutions

Sorting and labeling your games can certainly help, but here we’ll focus on more practical storage furniturs—like board game storage tables, board game storage shelves, board game storage units, and modular add-ons. After all, for most board game enthusiasts, having the right furniturs makes storage easier and less time-consuming.

Here are the methods for properly enhancing your board gaming experience through board game storage:

• Multi-functional gaming table
• Modular storage rack
• Modular plugins

Multi-functional gaming table

If you have a small collection and just need a table to store your games, a multi-purpose gaming table can be extremely useful. Ideally, it should have built-in drawers, trays, or compartments—or be compatible with various accessories—so you can quickly access everything you need before starting a game. Storing your games on a multi-purpose table means you can simply go straight to the table when you want to play, eliminating the need to fetch your games separately. It’s incredibly convenient.

Want to save your progress in the middle of a game? Just use toppers. Your progress will be easily preserved, allowing you to continue playing next time.

 BOXKING’s gaming tables not only support divided compartments but can also be paired with a variety of accessories, making them a reliable solution to your storage challenges.

Modular storage rack

If you have a large collection of board games (e.g., more than ten) and plan to keep growing it, modular storage racks are a smart choice. The advantage of modular racks is not only that they can hold more games, but also that they are expandable. Simply add expansion units to increase storage capacity, effectively solving a long-term storage problem. You can add as many new board games and expansion packs as you like. Whether expanding horizontally or vertically, you can customize your storage space to perfectly suit your needs.

 BOXKING’s BoxThrone and GamePillar are perfect examples.Both racks also support horizontal storage, ensuring that components inside the boxes stay well organized and don’t get jumbled from vertical stacking. This setup truly helps save time during game preparation!

Modular plugins

IKEA’s iconic KALLAX system is perfect for organizing a wide variety of items and is considered one of the most effective board game storage solutions. However, one major drawback of the KALLAX system is that removing a stacked board game can disturb the surrounding games.

If you own a KALLAX system, consider using the LAX RAX. This product effectively addresses the main issue with KALLAX, allowing you to remove games without disturbing others. This small modular insert can optimize your board game storage and make accessing your games much easier.

You can get a 12-pack on BOXKING for under $50.
