Boardgame Storage Solution - Scythe

This one is Scythe. A kickstarter boardgame that receive a lot prizes. I think, don't quote me on that but I think it one several awards. Everything is inside the box. I couldn't do it with Eldritch Horror or Shadows of Brimstone or even Gloomhaven.
But here it was easier than the rest since the box is pretty big. I put everything in two identical boxes as you can see below. Two boxes with almost all miniatures and separated cardboard tokens. Some of the cards even fit there.

The rest of the decks have their own plastic around them. But this plastic has one problem... from time to time you have to substitute them because they break. Some printed material I took from BGG (Esoteric Order of Gamers). Beneath everything the board.
Two identical boxes with most stuff. 

 This is a good euro game. You can play solo OR with other people. A bit hard to explain to newcomers but it's very good. 
The remaining decks who don't feet the boxes

Boardgame Storage Solution - Arkham Horror

Very big!!
Here we go for the Arkham Horror storage solution. It was the first game I physical have since the others were from Kickstarter and I was waiting for them.

I am missing Shadows of Brimstone (which I will make a compilation of entries since I am going to receive a ton of stuff (not a ton but 20 kilos of it?) :D

I will going to make in the near future This War of Mine, Gloomhaven and Trikcerion. Probably not Endure the Stars since I am trying to sell it. Mage Knight, The 7th Continent, Endangered Orphans, Wizards of the Wild, Journey: Wrath of Demons and Kingdom Death don't have any particular storage solution....

As I said I have all the expansions of Arkham Horror minus the Black Goat one which I didn't bought since it had almost nothing to the game.

I have everything in three different compartments. The first is the cards I use in every game. Mythos, Locations, Portals and other smaller cards like spells, items etc...

The second (the photo on the left) is all the cards from the expansions that I MIGHT or NOT use and all tokens. Basically I can put this game to play (after choosing the old one & investigators) in 5 or 10 m (maximum).


Last but not least I have have a dossier with all the old ones, investigators, and other cards.

Boardgame Storage Solution - Mythic Battles: Pantheon

  Well this was a more recent addition to my boardgame collection. Basically this game a drafting game where you choose a Greek God, Monster, Hero(es) or troops. There is a drafting value and you've got countless combinations to fight against other player (or players) or even against IA. You also have Titans. 

Each one has special powers that make them terryfing. After seveval plays you will learn who goes well with who. For the videos I watched there isn't a single unbeatable team which is awesome. 

Btw, the miniatures are very pretty. I really like them.  There are also scenarios base on greek mythology. In 2019 they are going to release the Mythic Battles: Ragnarock which will be based on Norse Mythology so I am going in no doubt.

I have everything in two boxes. Here I did something different. I put everything from the corebox on the first box and the rest on the second box. I also have the gods and titan all beautiful all line up (photo to come).



 Here we have all the cards and tokens plus that three boxes have troops, heroes and monsters divided.





The second box has all the stretch goals and cards. Interesting I bought four boxes. As you can see the gods have yellow cards so they wen to the yellow box (that sticker is the name of the gods within). I made the same to Monsters (Green) and Heroes (Red , althought they are grey eheh)



This game is quite easy to put on the table without much effort at all :)

Boardgame Storage Solution - Conan

Well, Conan was one of the first boardgames I purchase and it wasn't a good buy in my humble opinion, one that I am trying to sell for some time. Lets be real, I bought in on Kickstarter before my child was born and he is almost three years old. So, I am going to try to sell it for a bit more time and if I can't I will keep it and play with my son when he is older. 

Being a kickstarter game and one was very successful it has a lot of extras. More than 150 miniatures so keep everything in order was quite hard BUT I got it... Maybe change I will change and put more like Mythic Battles: Pantheon. 

In the left I have two boxes full of Conan stuff PLUS the boards on top since they are too many (I have two expansions) - Nordheim & Kitai.

So, the first box has individual boxes with their individual cards plus all rulesheet & manual. I also have one hardcover book with additional missions & painting guides and such.


The second box only have a two-sided box where I put all the tokens plus some monsters (most of them are either addons or stretch goals. IT has most of the brute force (the minions). This way I can put on the table in only a couple of minutes. Going to purchase some stickers and stick it to boxes so it's even simpler. I have that in Mythic Battles. I shall put online my storage solution tomorrow.

Boardgame Storage Solution - Eldritch Horror

This one is Eldritch Horror. My favorite board game so far. With most expansions (Only missing The Masks of Nyarlathotep & Dreamlands). So I have most different decks and such. The only thing missing are more cards for each deck and the ancient ones decks.


So basically I have one box with all the tokens plus investigators.
Then one of the smaller boxes with all investigators and ancient ones cards plus gates tokens.
Don't mind my work card :)
And then I have these two stands. One with all "big" cards, ancients, locations, mythos etc and another small stand with all conditions and spells.

Usually you don't get a random condition so I separate them in piles to easier access. The only thing that can be a bit problematic is the spells since sometimes they are random but what I do is throw a die and choose one pile to be 1,2 / 3,4 and the last one 5,6. This way it's simpler.

Boardgame Storage Solution - Lobotomy

I love boardgames, but one thing I really don't understand is the reason the manufactures spent a bit time to give us a good way to storage games. Most of times they are pretty useless. So you have to either spent time & money purchasing inner compartments that come for you to assemble or you make it yourself with foam. Both are time consuming (the latter a LOT of time consuming). 

Or you purchase other stuff to be easier to storage... I usually buy boxes OR use some chocolate boxes from Ferrero Rocher.

In this case (Lobotomy) is a boardgame with both gameplay elements and miniatures. It's a game I am trying to sell since I don't enjoy the gameplay. Way confusing for me.

Well, the stuff on the left I keep on top of the box which has all cardboard stuff & miniatures. The deck cards I keep separated with rubber plastic so it's pretty easy to put them on the table. My only problem here is the minatures which can be a bit problematic althought I separate them by heroes and elites and the minions all together (since there are only 3 different types is not that difficult...

About the game itself. I play only a couple of times and I didn't enjoy as I said. Probably because the rules were stupid and there was a lot of stuff that was not explained. But they release a version 2.0. (You can see it printed in the first photo).
cardboard & plastic tokens
Miniatures (most of them plus the doors). Beneath you can see the tiles plus the dice
