    The variance in board game box sizes is frustrating too. Fiddling with adjustable shelves to see which games should live next to each other was more science than I ever wanted from a shelving project, and why I'll always recommend some form of variable height system for game storage. Why in the year of our Lord 2024 have we not just set some standard sizes as a community?

    I love the Villainous games but I agree with your take on the storage issue. I was actually looking up storage solutions on Etsy earlier today. I remember a while ago, Target was doing a bundle of the base game for Disney and the first two expansions, but they were still in separate boxes. If they had put them in one big box, I would’ve gladly bought it and put away the one’s I already have for good. Also, I’m genuinely curious on what you would think of the Marvel version, since there are much more opportunities to directly interact with opponents in there than in Disney and Star Wars. (One last thing: Maleficent is Sleeping Beauty’s villain, not Evil Queen)

    • @AssortedMeeples
      @AssortedMeeples 2 місяці тому

      I want more of a Dice Throne style storage for my Villainous games rather than the boxes they currently make for it on Etsy. I also don't like the charges Etsy puts on its creators so I haven't gone that way for it. I would be willing to try the Marvel and Star Wars variants, I just don't have access to them and don't really want to drop the money on them. And oops on the Maleficent bit.
