My husband’s and my board game room at our new house isn’t completely done (e.g. the SHUX posters are currently resting on a shelf and leaning against the wall waiting to be hung up), but it is close enough to done that it seems worth sharing pictures. It is a big room and a shared space, mostly board game room with a partial sitting area / dog zone. It’s impossible to get photos of everything in one go, so you get lots of pictures.
Guess I should post mine since it should be pretty static for the foreseeable future. I’m coming up on a year as a full time dad (read: unemployed) and my trade fodder is just about dried up (a few games yet to pass the honeymoon phase but otherwise kaput), so this is what I’m “stuck” with. I made an absolutely massive cull since last year and am down to only 18 games (not counting games in the family collection).
-
Hiding in the back (bottom shelf): Maquis, Mottainai, Mini Rogue, Black Sonata and The Fuzzies
-
Not pictured since they’ve become toys (if not games, per se) for my daughter: Junk Art, Can’t Stop, Labyrinth.
Love your Scrabble board
Thanks! That’s from our board game themed engagement party. The board was started with our names then guests were asked to add words about us, weddings, marriage, etc and we glued everything on at the end of the party.
I’m always super envious of American houses and their space.
Nice room
Post ‘I’m out of space and need to rearrange’ rearrangement. There’s a second layer of games behind that lot.
Waiting on Ra and that’s it for new boxes. Was interested in Dinosaur Gauge but it’s £64 here plus delivery (although I can pop along and pick it up for free).
Chicago Express belongs in the boxes full of air thread, so once I’ve played it I’ll decide if it should stay or go. I do like the slim boxes of Capstone’s Iron Rails so I’ll most likely be long term happy buying all those for the Cube Rails fix.
Conducted a transplant today.
The door on my 5x1, record storing Expedit was kind of awkward so I replaced it with the two drawer insert that Ikea offer.
The door has now been installed on my 2x2, board-game storing Kallax to hide some of the mess.
My eaves shelving in the attic games room is straining under the weight and quantity of games at the moment. Another cull is needed I think.
Not visible are the moderate number of less often played games hiding behind other games. When there are this many I’m not sure what “less often played” means anymore, but hey ho!.
I was so confused about the height of that room until I saw the roof angle in the second photo! :)
Also: That’s some of the tidiest games shelving I can remember seeing for a while!
I was going to say Ikea, but if you did, where is all the extra clutter from the Marketplace that you didn’t intend to purchase???
Your house!
What do I win?
Please tell me that isn’t your gaming table in the background.
Also, I never thought about leaving out pieces for the larger games. Interesting.
It’s our only table, but it’s not normally in that state. Purely a result of having just completely rearranged the room The 2x4 and 4x4 kallaxes used to be against the wall where the 5x5 is now and the sofa was against the wall where we’ve now got the 4x4.
The Wehrle shelf and the Splotter shelf are giving the interlopers side-eye.
You just need Horseless Carriage or Indonesia, and another Root expansion, I guess? Horseless Carriage might not fit though, unless you do something about that lid lift.
Bus and Indo on the top would fit I think. I’ve been told that Bus will get a Capstone reprint.
Is that the legendary 5x5 mammoth kallax?
Only in dreams.
We are definitely reaching the maximum kallax capacity of a standard Leeds terraced house!
