If you are stacking, lay down flat boxes between your layers. They cover the tops of multiple boxes that way which hinder the boxes from collapsing from the weight of the other boxes above them.
We haven't moved since we started our game collection, but we do occasionally pack all the games up and put them in a truck and drive them around, so these tips will come in quite handy. Thanks JT!
You just brought back so many memories of moving cross-country several times. I don't know if I should thank you. The thing I learned to do was pack all our clothes/linens/fabric as filler. Socks are great to fill up those corners and make all the box firm so they don't crush! The problem then is getting a family of 6's clothes all back to the right places after moved ;) Great video, JT!
Yes! Double use of clothes, towels, etc are great filters! Thanks for watching and I hope it only triggered happy memories of your long distance moves!
Good advice, I especially liked putting bubble wrap in the corners to protect the corners of board games. I'd also add putting an extra piece of cardboard inside the top opening in case you are opening the box with box cutters or scissors or a knife, so that you don't accidentally damage the board games immediately inside the box.
THIS. So this! I was fortunate that I didn't do that. I put paper on top of most but that's not much protection. That's a great call out and wish I would've thought of that!
Welcome to the club! (The "moving from NorCal to NorCar" club!) I think I'm about 2 hrs west of there. If you are ever in the Charlotte area - let me know and we'll throw down on some games! =) Enjoy RTP! A lot of tech there and you'll be within 20 mins of EPIC Games HQ (Cary, NC). If you need anything, shoot me a note, I'm happy to help a fellow former NorCal resident figure out NC. =)
Medium boxes are my favorite ... they always seem to have a spirited journey. Also, California misses you, I hear they've been turning off their electricity in solidarity of your memory.

Yes, That should help distribute the weight! Like layering bricks.

Glad this could be a help for incorrigible purposes.

... As I am also moving my board games collection from NorCal to North Carolina. 😝 If you're in the RTP and you have a board game night, let me know!

Medium boxes FTW!!!
What a gesture! I'm sure they turned on their phone screens for me as an alternative and waved them around.
I really need to get myself some more board games!
I say that all the time! ;)
This is great.
Thanks, I workout!
Everyone has a JOn in their life....
Sometimes you try to move on and someone has to remind you of your past.....
Not even the good stuff JT!
I only save the good stuff for you, Will!
