    So comforting to watch organization videos 😂 fantastic investment! I look forward to the day I’m in a house and can create a whole nook for my games

    It looks very nice! I do try to organize by size box and “families” but my number one criteria is number of players. It’s so helpful when I have to pick a game and go to the shelves that match the number of players, so easy and practical. Before that I would forget a game could fit 5,6 or 7 players, for example. And, mainly when my friends come I tell them which shelves they can look and choose from.

      That’s a great idea!! It’s primarily just Jamie and I playing at 2p though so we rarely need to figure out player count restraints

    FYI, it may not matter to you, but the L-shaped shelf pins are designed to hang down, not up. that way as the weight of the shelf pushes down, the L bracket is pushed out against the wall the the bookcase, which also makes the shelf snug and less likely to slide off. The small holes at the end of the "L" is actually designed for a small set screw to prevent the shelfs from slipping forward if they are too loose as well. with them installed upside down, overtime, the weight of the shelves may bend them down and there is a slight potential of the shelf no longer supporting it's weight....

    Love the small game shelf, fits our room so perfecrlty. I suggest because its so much busier of shelves one trend in books to to sort by colour. Also for the top for reach/visablility maybe have some favorite big box games facing out on display. OR what I do with skinny books on a deep shelf is cut cardboard into strips that fit a few layers high so they cant get pushed back and sit in the front of the shelf'

    I rarely ever leave comments anywhere on the Internet, but I just felt the need to do so this time. 😅 I really enjoy your guys' channel and there's just something about you two that is enjoyable and relaxing. Every time i watch a video, I'm always finding similarities between mine and Jamie's personalities or similar interests 😂 , and that just makes me enjoy your content even more. That's actually what made me feel the need to finally leave a comment today (Bang bang boom!😄). 🤗 I know that there are times when I can be a little too much, and I see the same look on Jeff's face that I see on my husband's. 🤭🙈😂 I appreciate the work you both do and am glad that you're sharing your love of games with everyone. 💚

  • @DontNickMe
    @DontNickMe 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Why do you store them in vertical position? I get itchy thinking about all the inside contents falling to one side and becoming a mess. The covers are already popping off on half the games. I've always stored them flat position. Great color choice of shelves! I think you had the push pins the wrong way though. I've always done them in down position.

    • @FostertheMeeple
      @FostertheMeeple  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Storing them flat when you have this many on a stack can be annoying to remove / place them back. Most of the lid lift you see are actually games that just come like that out of the shrink (Vinhos). We’ve never really had an issue with inside contents being an utter mess. And even if it is, it’s all getting placed out on the table anyway!
