AWHHH! Thank you! I really do enjoy this type of thing! 😊💕
Our first film credit! Thank you for highlighting the Small Box Game Jackets project.
You are so welcome! 🥰 You guys are doing great things! Thank YOU!
I've been putting my small games and card games into these plastic boxes for about 6 years. I never knew about the jackets, though. Thank you so much! I just printed out a bunch of them. So much nicer than a small label on the end that keeps peeling up.
After watching this episode I was inspired to look for ways to display my wallet games. I found a great hanging display for sunglasses. It works great....you can see the titles of each game and it doesn't take up space since it's against the wall. It holds a total of 40 wallets, 20 on each side. Thanks for giving me the idea!!
OHHH! That's a great idea as well! 😊👏🏻
Really like the Button Shy display idea
I bought a similar case last week for my Star Trek: Ascendancy game. Each box is used for faction items, resource tokens, resource nodes, warp lanes, etc. The Borg expansion doesn't do well with the cases as the cubes are very large and the spires are too large to fit in the 4x6 photo cases. Every other faction/expansion fits pretty good with the ships, advancement cards, trade agreement cards, fleet cards, fleet markers, and other faction specific items. I also put the home system disk in there as well. The command consoles do not fit at all and the other system disks don't fit that many because of the shape (circular), but I will find something else to make them work. The exploration cards and turn order cards are typical playing card size, so a simple card storage case works for all of those.
When a game like that has so many different expansions, it's nice to be able to fit into less boxes for storage.
As for this video, that is a great idea for travel and space saving in general. Some people enjoy having the boxes displayed because a lot of box artwork is beautiful. However, for those of us with limited storage space, the old adage "form follows function" reigns supreme.
Great video
Hi! Jenna. I would suggest you looking into index card boxes for your button shy games. Teacher/gamer from Australia 🇦🇺 Love watching your videos.
Dude that turned out awesome! I love how uniform they look. So much better than lots of various sized boxes.
Yeup! I totally agree!
I did this last weekend when Michaels had these cases on buy 2 get one free. Didn't know about the printable sheets so now I need those
Amazing! Great timing! 😊👏🏻
The Small Box Game Jackets library now has more than 600 jackets. We welcome suggestions.
I already use Boardgame Barrio inserts with a photo holders for many of my small games. Now I'm off to Amazon to look for a cell phone holder. What a great idea for Button Shy and similar sized games.
I use one of these for my garden seeds---never considered using this to store our small games. May have to get another one as the lil games have a tendency to sprawl!
I recently did exactly this with a bunch of small box games into the photo case, but didn't know about the facebook with all of the labels already made! So now on to the next step of making the organization look great! Thank you!
Oh nice! 😊Glad I was able to introduce the covers to you! Have fun!
Looks great! I had seen this idea but didn't know about the print-outs, what a fantastic idea. As far as trick-taking games, one of my favorite is Diamonds
Hi Jenna! I found a way to display button shy games with a random garbage picking find (I think someone said it was part of a dog gate). I can’t post a picture here, but if you want to see what it looks like I’m happy to share a pic in another way. Thanks for the video!
Tichu, Gang of Four, and Lexio (which is a thick tile game and will not fit the box).
Once you get the printouts in there, they remind me of the old video rental boxes! 😄 Neat idea...not sure what I think of folding the rulebooks, but I do like the uniformity--my first thought was organize alphabetically, but the color looks great! I wonder if you could take it one step further: boxes/dividers within the boxes to keep things from floating around. Especially Catan Dice. In fact, those dice take up hardly any room, right? If you had another game that small, you could fit it in there too to really maximize the space. Maybe cut and splice the inserts so the spine shows half and half. Anyway, that's just where my head went. I found some small boxes on Amazon that worked great for Now or Never...those might pack in there real nice.
I have done this for years. I feel like cutting the cover off and taping it separately from the spine and back is the way to go. It makes things much simpler and I haven’t had to deal with any issues that the intended way causes. Great video , love that more people are finding this awesome way to organize.
Love this idea! May have to do it as well. Some of my favorite trick takers are Marshmallow Test, 9 Lives, the Crew, Fox in the Forest, and the forthcoming My Favorite Things.
Writing down a few of these! Thank you! 😊
David And Goliath is a fun and simple trick taker. I use a Stick 'Em deck, since it's out of print. That same deck can be used for Nokosu Dice, along with a bunch of dice, since that one is also very hard to get.
For the Button Shy display, you might consider dropping a 12mm d6 in each slot to act as a shifting mechanism. Just a thought.
Wow, almost wish I didn't back the FILLER Kickstarter now, this is a great idea and v relaxing to watch.
The Filler did look very cool and like it is going to be great! Thanks for watching Reggie! 😊
Always!@@TheBoardGameGarden
Fiskars has a creasing tool to swap with the blade on their straight cutter.
Oooh, i can see a lot of my favorite games! This is very helpful & it looks so neat - will try this one. I didn't know that there's one in Facebook that create labels. Thanks for sharing!
No problem! Glad I could introduce them to you! 😊
I love this! Organization makes my heart happy. I love the idea of the cell phone holder for Button Shy games. Mine are currently stored in an over-the-door shoe caddy along with my other small box card games.
Great ideas! My Button-Shy games are currently all just in an extra-large token bag. I like the cellphone holder much better! It’ll look pretty, plus I’ll be more likely to take one out to play. 🙂
Skull King is one of my family favourite trick takers!
YESSS! Skull King is one I would love to add to the collection!
I’m not a huge fan of trick taking games, but one that I love is cat in a box.
Tricky Devils is a fun, small trick taking game
Thank you! I'll look into that one! 😊
Awesome way to conserve space. Great vid, Jen.
You are very clever and creative. To see how much you love what you do.
Thank you so much! 😊
I love your video. Boardgame organization is a passion of mine and this looks so neat and tidy. i love how you've shown us each step. What brand of card stock did you go with for this project? My first cover I used a very heavy stiff card stock and it it came out terrible. Before I did anymore I wanted to follow your lead on the brand and weight of card stock so I have a better result. Thanks for the video!
Cool video. Thanks!
I have way too many stacks of Button Shy games and need to find a better storage solution as well. Preferably that can have the small expansions with the wallets, so those get played more instead of being forgotten in my ziploc bags of expansions.
Board game barrio is so helpful!
I see that not many people have suggested trick takers. I watched your recent cull video and saw that you had Sail on your unplayed shelf, I got it recently to the table and had a blast, (and Couture as well). You said you had maybe 11 trick takers in this video but I only saw maybe 6-7 in the cull video.
I really like Brian Boru, but it has lots of things going on besides the trick-taking and the box is way too big for the plastic picture box storage.
Shamans is a weird mix of trick taking and social deduction, it looks beautiful and is really fun. It might have some overlap with Inside Job though, which you own.
There are like 6 or 7 trick takers from AllPlay already available.
Yokai Septet is a cool game, the 3 player game is game is free for all but the 4 player one is played in teams, a bit like Aurum.
American Bookshop is fun and simple but hard to get. From the same designer is Twinkle Starship (which I haven't yet played), Mike Delisio from the Dice Tower had it on his recent top 100.
Wizard is my "default" trick taker, I have the Anniversary edition, Skull King is very similar.
There's a new version of Haggis available online, which is supposed to be one of the better 2-3 player trick takers.
WOW thank you so much for the recommendations! I played Brian Boru recently and really enjoyed it. Shamens is one I have played a few times with friends and I absolutely LOVE it. I need to get it in the collection soon! I have Sail and Mori from Allplay for far. I need to try more of their trick takers! Yokai Septet is on BGA and I've been wanting to try it! I'll have to check out the rest as well! Thank you!!!! 😊👏🏻
This looks great! Any advice on what to do with rule books if they don’t fit into the small containers?
I would love to hear more about your trick-tacking collection. I am always looking for new ones to try!
Nice video by the way 😊
Ohhhh a trick-taking game collection tour? That would be so fun! It's been added to the list! 😊
Dwarf King from iello is a fun trick taking game
I have that one and I haven't played it yet! Very exited to try it! 😊
You should really try the American Psycho Card Game. It is trick taking with a great spin on it.
Button Shy had their own "Game Haul bag" for storage, but not display, so i don't know if that suits your needs. Looks like the website is sold out right now anyway 😞 But anything is better than my current method of jamming them all in a Priority Mail envelope!
Very nice
You might be able to make some foam core inserts for some of these games to keep them from sliding around, and organized in their new home.
Lunar is an amazing trick taking game!
OHH YES! That is another one from Allplay right? I got Mori from the four they crowdfunded and I would love to get Lunar as well! Honestly I would love all 4 of them! They look great!
I have a box I use for my button shy. It’s an index card box. Works great and looks cute on the shelf. I wanted to do the card game organizer but I don’t really have enough of them lol. Looks great.
Thanks Shannon! Nice! I tried to think of ways to organize my Button Shy games and I do really like what I ended up with! An index card box is really smart!
I had the same issues. The button shy are always just a little to big or to small lol
@@shannonpepitone4920 HAHA! Exactly. Maybe Button Shy will come out with something for displaying their games eventually. 😊 That would be amazing!
That would be amazing. I will head over to New Jersey now lol 😂
Those came out really nice! I've been using one of these for my card games, I have a lot of Button Shy print and play (tight budget here 😉). I put each game in an organza bag and put two in a box, then do a label maker label on the box. But I'm definitely printing some of those covers for a few games (Catan the Dice game! Lots of fun, but that packaging, holy cats 🙄). Thanks for the video!
Great project, been looking to do this for a while.
DO IT! 😊👏🏻
Curious, what printer are you using? The print quality looks really nice
I love this idea and your execution of it. You're so creative. I hope you will come up with something similar for storing, protecting, and carrying Button Shy games. Every thing I've bought to try and organize them is not quite right. Currently they are in an index card box that does not quite fit them.
Thank you so much! 😊 I'll definitely continue to try to find different ways to organize and store them!
This was so satisfying to watch! 😍
I know right! It was very satisfying doing it as well. I want to do more. LOL
That photo organizer goes on sale at Micheaels frequently (sometimes it's the colorful one). I see it on sale right after holidays (xmas, July 4th, etc etc) for about a week, and sometimes all of January.
Good to know! Thank you! 😊
I've been hunting for a third wood "CD Shelf Tower" at thrift shops, with no luck BUT the 16 box case thingy may a better option for me. Thanks for the idea!
I was actually looking at CD shelves and storage as well for my Button Shy Games.! They seem like they would work well. No problem! 😊
Whoa very cool! But how did you get cob the card game in the box! Rubberbands on card? You’re a monster. Also, how will you sell the games once you want to get rid of them.
I feel that Button Shy games are yearning to be stored horizontally. I saw tiered wallet storage that might fit them.
OHHH nice! I now need to look up tiered wallet storage!
Link for The Organizers, please
My perfectionism is so confused right now! On the one hand, that looks incredible, and I love how everything is so uniform and organized in one place. On the other hand, I don't know if I could store my games in something that isn't their original box. I'm so torn, I have to try it, though.
I'm looking at my mint games now but I think they might take up more space in the photo box, but the tins pop open on me and teh photoboxes wouldn't. might be a good option for my overflowing buttonshy collection.
So where is the link to buy this storage item?
what weight card stock did you use?
U downloaded covers from where ???
Have you played Inside Job? A cooperative trick taking games where there is an insider/traitor working against you completing your missions. It is a lot of fun!
I have! That's one of the trick taking games I have. It's a great game! 😊👍🏻
Excellent project! My question is whether you get these games to the table in the next year. Sometimes when a game is out of sight, it doesn't get played.
Other word of caution is rubber bands can deteriorate over time. I made that mistake with my cards for Risk 2210 AD.
Keep up the great work!
Yeah I'm also interested to know if this will effect that. I'll definitely post about it in the future. 👍🏻 And thank you for letting me know!
I forgot Haggis and Nyet!
Quick question: how did you create your printed covers? I so want to do this! ❤
They are available to download for free from Board Game Barrio! Here's the link to the list: boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/318181/small-box-game-jackets?fbclid=IwAR3rFf1iZWxFP1EyctBYehRLrqTZE_hdcP5B9ho24dYp7Y-38eI7JZmAU0k 😊👍🏻
You are awesome! @@TheBoardGameGarden
We're presently migrating the complete library of 600+ jackets to this new Geeklist. More coming soon.
anybody have a source in the EU or preferably Sweden?
What do you do with empty originals?
I'll just be storing them in a closet in my board game room. 👍🏻
Very cool idea, but personally I do not like "plasticky" look of the games, original boxes are much cooler. I could be the only one here to have that view, but that's me! I would leave them in original packaging. Anything plastic is less cozy and welcoming.
Yeah, I do agree. It's definitely not as cozy sadly. But does work really well for me functionally which is needed. 😊👍🏻
@@TheBoardGameGarden very practical indeed. At least you have printed the covers .. big plus !
Ah I guessed correctly!
1st!
My OCD self is so happy watching this! 🤌🏼
I love doing this type of thing! 🥰
Whilst I understand wanting a good storage solution for small box games (I also need one), I can't help feeling that buying more plastic really should not be the answer. When the plastic cracks, it cannot be repaired and just ends up in landfill where it doesn't biodegrade.
Also I think the original boxes are far more attractive than the semi-transparent plastic. Interesting video, but this idea is not for me.
