The One Item You Need to Store Jaws of the Lion

- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- I take a quick look at how I have chosen to store away my monster tokens and action cards that will make the game easier to get to the table and faster to put away and all for under $15! This solution also continues to make use of the included insert to keep the remaining components neat and safe.
Here is a link to the bit boxes I purchased on Amazon. Make sure you purchase the 3.26" x 2.12" x 0.7" size.

I truly appreciate all storage videos! Board games benefit so much from a good storage solution that maximizes setup and tear down! Thank you for taking the time to make this.
Thanks. I agree. My storage solution videos are my favorite to make.
I just opened and played JotL last night. Trying to put everything back in the provided sacks was a royal pain. I was worried closing the lid would damage the cards and it obviously doesn’t close flat like this solution. It was also a pain during play to try to go through all the bagged items to try to find the correct monster.
Your solution would be so easy to grab bit boxes sorted alphabetical or just writing what monsters are on the six boxes as you have it.
Well done and that you for sharing!
Thanks for this, just followed it and much better than the plastic baggies. Everything just goes back in with trying to play tetris to get the box to close.
$10 for a pack of four now ... you must have sent them a lot of business. Thanks for the tip, ordering mine now!
I really like the idea for those small boxes. When the video started I thought "man,, thats cool. I need some of those" and then you posted the link. So, thank you. I purchased 2.
Wow! great tip!
1. I actually had the proper sized bit boxes on hand with no real plan on what to do with them. I bought them long enough ago that I had long ago absorbed 5he cost so my cost was effectively $0. Thanks!
2. You probably found out long ago that those little placards are initiative counters. Just as a return idea, instead of discarding those, put them in the matching creature boxes on top of the cards. I found they will still fit nicely, and yo can see the placards through the lids. That way you have a visual reference of what is in the box, and you do not have to expend time and resources labeling the boxes.
Nice idea. Thanks.
It's now a 16 dollar solution but still cheaper than an insert and way better than playing catch the baggies!
This is fantastic! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Hey man, great vid! Adding the bit boxes is really a great idea that so helps with organization; eliminating the silly baggies. One thing I did to save even more space is to put the elite bases in with a couple of the bit boxes alongside the cards/monster tokens. Thanks, cheers!
If someone is interested the Gloomhaven Helper now supports also Jaws of the Lion :)
Once you use that, you'll never go back!
@@juhpuh1985 It basically makes 30% of the components unnecessary!
Thank you, I just bought Jaws of the Lion, this my first foray into this type of game, App its super, thank you!
I did everything like you mentioned, but the slightly above pennystock sleeves i used made the 3 card slots in the box not completely fit. What i ended up having to do was pinch the hollow dividers together so there was just barely enough room to get them in there, but yeah just a headsup in case anyone uses anything besides the lowest tier pennystock sleeves
That was great. I was trying to fit all the pieces and the baggies are not in my opinion a good option. I will follow you method.
By taking the four figurines out of their boxes and adding the standees to that new space I find everything fits in the box anyway and the lid closes all the way. I will admit though that it is easier to find the monster you need in the plastic boxes than by having lots of baggies.
Compulsively obsessed? YES
So you organized without playing yet? Nice solution though. You will use those "labels" you bagged each time - they track the order of the initiative for players and monsters. Might just want to throw those into their respective boxes with monsters and heroes.
Yes, that is always the first thing I do when I purchase a new game. Figure out how to organize it.
@@TheMeepleMarathon , Me too!
I always organize before playing
I thought the whole point of collecting games is to buy it, unbox it, organize it, try to get friends together to play it, fail, imagine what it would have been like to have played it, move on to the next game.
Great and cheap solution! Thanks a lot for sharing! :)
It all fits back into my box just fine. Are there expansions? Not sure why this is needed. I guess for easy accessibility?
Very nice suggestion … thank you!
I don't see the link for the storage boxes. Also, do you have a link for the sleeves you normally use? Thanks!
The links for the storage boxes are in the description of the video. I will work on adding a link to my card sleeves as well.
@@TheMeepleMarathon thanks. I totally missed the link in the description!
Good video!! I'm definitely gonna get some!
Any solution for full kickstarter lord of Hellas?
I don’t personally, but from what I remember it’s a tight fit with all those large miniatures and monuments. If you wanted to lose the insert you could use note card holders, one for each monument and then some for the larger miniatures grouped together.
A little late to this, but I ordered 2 sets of 4 as soon as I followed the link. Apparently the last 2 they had. Sadly, you made them so popular that they raised the price to $7.80 each 4-pack. 😁
Alex Bok Glad you got your hands on some.
Just a heads up, the cards do not fit in the organizer that comes with the box when sleeved at all.
Good to know. I generally only sleeve the small attack modifier cards (which I keep in the character boxes and the monster action cards (which I keep in the small boxes) but that’s a good note for people who want to sleeve everything.
Thanks for the idea! Did everything still fit after sleeving?
I generally only sleeve the action deck modifiers, so I think so, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. COVID has kept this game on my shelf since our gaming group doesn’t meet.
I just got my boxes, all my monster cards are sleeved, and everything fits as Ryan grouped them.
I put some premium sleeves on the character cards and they don't fit now in the paper boxes they came with because the sleeves are too thick. Does anyone know which are the thinnest sleeves in the market so I can replace them with those ones? :P
Btw what's the mat you're using I really need one
The neoprene mat underneath is one of Fantasy Flight’s x-wing maps. 36”x36”. This one is of the Death Star over Endor.
You keep the life and experience dials apart, right? Or do you not use them?
I don’t use them because I have player mats which track each characters HP and XP but I’m pretty sure they would fit in the box.
@@TheMeepleMarathon Cool! I'm pretty new in this type of games, this is my first time hearing about this playmats. The look really nice, will try to get some. Thank you
@@TheMeepleMarathon which playmats you have?
@@athanasiospetsas9367 In this particular video, I'm using the Fantasy Flight Death Star play mat that was designed for Star Wars X-Wing. I also feature the Ryan Laukaut play mat from Game Toppers in a lot of my videos.
@@TheMeepleMarathon Oh sorry I was referring to your comment where you use the player mats which track each characters HP and XP.
This is cool but these things are 10 bucks for 4 now. Sad
AND now the 4packs have doubled in price.

Ordered some. Thanks!
