Board Game Room Refresh | REORGANIZING MY ENTIRE COLLECTION!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Hey friends! SOOOO this video was supposed to go up like 3-4 days ago BUT this refresh took a lot longer than I anticipated. It went from just a simple reorganization of my board games to an entire room refresh because I am just crazy like that. I hope you enjoy the video and have a great week!

So I am 8.5 months in a very physically and emotionally difficult pregnancy, and am currently on bedrest for the last stretch… watching these board game organization videos are so relaxing for me! I especially love the chill music you play over the video 😊 I can’t reorganize my own games (and oh, I am so desperate to do so!) so this video has somewhat scratched that itch for me haha
So glad I could scratch that itch and give you that relaxation time! Wishing you all the best with the rest of your pregnancy! 💕 Thanks for watching!
Best of luck with the pregnancy and congratulations!
I just subscribed because you are so passionate about your hobbies and also are so pretty
Such a fun video - loved the 1/2/3 finger snap shelf install part, you did a great job lining up yourself on camera perfectly. :)
Love these organization and shelf tour videos, I wish more creators did them! Heck I'd even watch unboxing/organizing a game videos. We do if it fits it sits, but lately we've run out of room on our current shelves so we've had to fill each cube and have a dedicated front facing game. There's some wiggle room still so I may try reorganizing by theme of the front facing game. Your shelves look beautiful, I've always admired your oak coloured kallax.
I've been considering doing more unboxing videos! I also LOVE them! 😊
Sipping on a hot chocolate in front of a fire while watching this. Ultimate cozy vibes!
Your game room looks so cozy! And the color-sorting turned out great. Thank you YT algorithm for another chill organizing video 🙏🏻🙏🏻
We're in the process of moving cross-country right now so we will actually have space for all of our games so I love hearing how/why people organize their games because for the longest time, we've just organized them by wherever they fit 😅
Love the color organization, it just flows so beautifully. But especially love your little decor touches, like the terrarium (I know it’s not new, just love it)
I love the way the shelves look when they are organized by color, but we'd never be able to find games! Its interesting how everyone's mind works differently! We are strictly alpha organizers here! Enjoying seeing your beautiful shelves though.
Organizing by colour is by far the most satisfying for me. I also organize my apps on my phone by colour, ahah.
Love the chill videos, keep it up!
I DO THAT TOO! 😂👏🏻
My apps are also in color order, so glad I’m not the only weirdo. Love it!
It turned so well and beautiful! Happy for you🎉
It looks so good! I mostly have mine organize by a combination of weight/player count. Solo/co-op grouped together, a few cubes of party, a couple of dexterity, and the completive ones then grouped by complexity with ones I want to show of in my background near the top
Dang that turned out great! Well done! I’m exhausted just watching and it makes me scared to do mine but it has to be done soon😅
I think weight is going to be the way I try next! Maybe mixed with player count as well. 😊👍🏻
WoW. I remember when you had 1 shelf to reorganize. 😂
Adopt the ‘Lean and Mean’ philosophy!
I reorganize once a month, it’s refreshing and fun. But I don’t know about that many games. LoL.
I know right! WILD! I'm the same. I just love reorganizing so much! 😊
We organize by box size. But I love the aestetic of sorting by color. With Christmas coming up, we will have a lot of new games coming in for the family, so, I need more storage first 😂
A good problem to have ;)
I organize usually by theme or feel. I love me some similar sized boxes, though!
I’ve done these kinds of shelf resets a few times. So much work but it’s like Tetris on steroids. I usually organize by BGG weight, so we can easily find a lighter or harder game.
I organizer by easy more family friendly games near my door, solo and head to head shelf, with small games on top, then by publisher, and theme. Party games are together mostly, all my Marvel United together. Mostly if it fits it sits.
Organizing by weight is a great option! I might need to try that! It's honestly the most practical in my opinion. That or player count. 👍🏻 Thanks for watching James! Hope you are doing well! 😊
Thank you so much for your shoutout! It means a ton. Absolutely love the new look; the color is perfect :). We ourselves are about to have a cull as well, and I am dreading it.
We mostly have things organized the way they fit best, but within that I do have various groupings I try to do. I have one area where almost all of my co-op games are. I have another area for all but one of my roll/ flip and writes (the co-op ones is with the co-ops). I have some games grouped by publisher (Ravensburg/ Stonemaier).. though recently these are being split up some. I have some by theme (viking/ space/ nature). I should probably do a video sometimes where I show how my games are currently organized... though with my latest shifting of games I did lose some better organization in favor of a slightly better fit.
I like that idea of by color. So far I have mine organized by theme.
Theme is actually a way I have never organized by! I might need to try that next! 😊
Best thumbnail ever 😊
Glad you enjoyed it Steph. 😂 I thought I was so funny. LOL!
I looooove the way you organized the kallax 😍
Thank you! 🥰
I'm so needing to do this. Your video might be the inspiration I needed.
YESSS! Do it! It was so much fun and felt so good! 😊👏🏻
wow this is heaven
Wow Jenna, You Rock! It looks so good! 😉
Thank you so much! 😊
Mine are first split by length short games and like event/long games, then box size then theme. Need to do a cull again soon.
Hey, I'm subscribing. I like your energy. You make organizing like meditation and not stressful. I just redid my Kallax space last weekend. I had Tomorrowland on live stream from Brazil, and needed to make room for new games arriving by the end of the year hopefully.
I like to organize by weight currently. I keep the lowest weight easy family section, that I can pull from to play with my parents during holidays (mostly just ticket to ride and azul). And the opposite end is mostly solo for me, Clans of Caledonia, Feast for Odin, Spirit Island (arrived today). The big box games have to go on top of the Kallax mostly. Except Castles of Mad King Ludwig Royal, fits in the cube. And Castles of Burgundy special edition fits, but with the acrylic boxes, the whole game creates dead space. So I may move it to stack on top of Everdell the Complete Collection.
And my horror themes with darker boxes shared a cube together. Arkham Horror the LCG, and Nightmare Cathedral. Though Clans of Caledonia is on top. Lol. I should move it, when I fit Spirit Island in.
Wow the rainbow you did looks beautiful. You did a much better job than I did. I have gaps and space all over.
Wow. Organizing by color makes no sense to me, but that shelf looks SO GOOD when youre done. I go by genre/mechanism first, then box size. My larger boxes dont have as much organization as its mostly just how i can fit them
@3:07 - I think I would go white kallax since the shelf to the left is also white just to make it all match. I also got a bunch of baskets from Target to put my accessories in, and I've really enjoyed that as an option! Hide the clutter hahaha. 😄
Happy Organizing!!🤗
Oh and I organize by box size first, but then by color secondarily!
Also sorry I keep adding on hahaha - so glad you guys didn't cull Catan!! I was watching your other video and was like noooo you must keep it haha.
okay okay okay last thing - Hi Walter and Penny!!!
okay I said last thing, but since we differed lol I love your choice though too, and it's probably better!! Bc if you move, you will take your Kallax and those will still match.
LOL anyways thank you for the videos as always! No more comments. haha
- Baley
HAHA! I love this comment so much. The progression! 😂 Thanks Baley!
Thank you so much for sharing that with us ☺👍
Hey Jenna! Looking to remodel a basement room into our game room. How have your overhead LED lights been with gaming? Do you notice much glare? Any tips on best lighting techniques for this style room with glare in mind?
I assembled a 5x5 recently and reorganized most of the games between the different rooms. My watch counted NONE of it as exercise! 8-10 hours of work. I was sweating!!! I really thought about organizing by color, because I loved how your shelves looked when you had them organized that way before. I ended up mostly sorting by publisher, but really want to give color a.........WAIT........Where is your table?!?! Ok....it's back. Gonna assume it isn't as heavy as I think it is.
Great video, as always. Thanks for sharing 💜
AHAHAHA! How dare your watch do that! 😂 And yeah, our table is very easy to move!
@@TheBoardGameGarden That's good to know!!! It is the table I have been looking at over the last couple of years, but was afraid of trying to move it from our 2nd floor apartment when the time comes😅
Wow, looks very nice..the whole video and the endresult 😂 motivazes me to organize my collection again as well! 😃❤ and thanks for the explanation in the intro at the start..that makes totally sense to organize it this way then! 😊
I organized my games according to box size(little games and big box games aside the standard size ones; mostly/only 2player games; LCGs; partygames; some of my favorite games; heavier games; medium wight games; dexterity games and realtime games and easier 'building' games; some of my favorite games and some gatewaygames; small games i like to bring along on the get go; nice cover games without any thing in particular..other than i want them to get to the table 😂
My collection is somewhat unorganized and doesnt look good, since there are too many games in the shelf or too many small games not organzed well.. as well as some boardgames take a loot of space, showing their cover..so im motivate to reorganize at least them and more from the collection maybe as well..if time will let me do it 😁
Thank you so much! That's why I love the Billy Bookcases! They work sooo much better for small box games than the Kallaxs! 😊
we dont have a ton of storage space so we are a if it fits it sits/size organizers
this looks great!! i've never thought about organizing by color.
what gaming table is that? looks great!
So great to see Courtney Laplante also loves board games 🤘
I had to look up who that was and honestly we do kind of look alike! 😂👏🏻
You need the Collector's Edition boxes for the west kingdom series :)
Looks great
I'd recommend another 2 feet on the Kallax 2x4. My sister's started concaving even with the support beams
Your collection is amazing!! Off topic but can I ask where you got the dice looking bowl/decor thing next to your TV? I had one but I got it from the thrift store, and haven't been able to find a new one since it broke. Would really love to!
How do my wife and I organize our collection? if it fits it sits or ultimate Tetris. We only have one 4ftx8ft bookcase for all of our games. So the tighter we can pack it the better.
I guess you would never be bored at your house.
Soooooo relaxing as always.
Thank you
Gotta say, love the organization by color choice...... BUT!!! My OCD ticks when I see "Obsession". The color is just off for the placement. My eye is constantly drawn there.
LOL yeah obsession is a little off but I didn't have enough "beige" to include it anywhere else. It's close enough. 😂
Amazing🥰
Mine is mainly organized by publisher but more so if it fits it sits😅😂
I've done it by colour and it was gorgeous, but right now I have everything organized by theme (as best as it can be anyway lol)
I've considered theme! Sounds fun to go through your collection and organize by the theme. It would be interesting seeing how many of specific themes I have.
We sort based on player count first and then mechanism within that
Ehm, my collection is currently by 'whatever fits the most games in or around my shelves'. Yeah I need to cull, no, I need a dedicated board game room :)
When you put it all in a pile like that it looks like there’s a hoarding problem lol. Sometimes I think there’s something wrong with us.
AHAHAHA! I know right. I've accepted it... I definitely have a problem. 😂
HI very good and beautiful youre new furniture tv ! where do you take this good furniture ? have a nice day :)
How do I organize my board game collection (~300 games)??? Easy answer… I don’t! My wife, every few months, comes up with a way that makes the space feel cozy so whatever she needs. If it were up to me, I would do it by player count so whenever I have a certain number of players I could look in the right section. I know that the middle section would be rather large for let’s say 2-6 players so maybe not the best solution?
I organize by theme...sort of. mostly all over the place though. :)
Much satisfaction
rofl that thumbnail is hilarious!
HAHA! Glad you liked it! 😂
Great video, I'm so not organized
What do you do with your culled games? I have some that I need to get rid of myself.
Recently I've been able to bring them to a local convention with a "bring & buy". But if they didn't sell there I am going to put them up on Facebook! There are a ton of local buy/sell/trade groups on there. 😊👍🏻
I organize my board games by theme
Box size 100% of the time!
CULL CATAN!
Very nice! Too bad I live in a small appartement, so it would be very difficult to pull everything out and organize my collection like this. The more difficult games are simply put behind the more accessible ones. I may have to make some space by selling some games.
The True question is have you played all those games?
Cull Catan
I'm going to buy the fancy Catan 3D version. 😉😂
1st!
