It is.
Okay. I manage to fit everything. Bagged the tiles and the tiles are “stacked” to reduce space wastage.

Undo the drawstring on the bag. It helps a lot.

Guards of Atlantis 2. Bought deck boxes because Im still not keen on bagging them. The deck boxes are labelled. One additional box for the hero + minion cards. The game can now be stored vertically

Behold, the meat cuboid that is Dark Venture: Battle of the Ancients including the Beasts & Eggmen and Kings & Heroes expansions, AND the wooden faction token upgrade. Pictured included is the big sack of now-superfluous cardboard faction tokens, which I’ll ultimately set aside elsewhere, but I wanted to know if I could get away with tossing those in too.
Might not look like much but it’s secretly well organized for quick play.
[EDIT]
I found some Japanese coin cases to help keep all my units in better order. These aren’t ideal (they don’t quite hold everything), but should help with faction setup tremendously. The only tokens that don’t fit are the Kingsguard, the Merchant’s menagerie, and the event monsters, none of which require much in the way of sorting.

I think I need more than just one photo of that!

Oh no that “board” is giving me major anxiety.

My daughter bought two games in this format from Aldi: Connect 4 and Operation. Have you ever seen pieces so small? I do not think you have.
We still occasionally turn up tiny (I’m talking 5mm diameter, 2mm thick) Connect 4 game pieces when sweeping out under the sofa.
EDIT: I should say the Operation game was actually quite clever: the pieces are contained within the game and you manipulate them with only a magnetic stylus.

Vivarium is quite a nice box size for the kind of game it is:
But mainly, the way the dominoes fit into the top section is

The flat items aside (manual, cards, etc), Lost Kingdoms arrived with a thick wad of punch boards for its ~70 chunky tiles; a sealed bag of wooden dinosaur-ples; and a very basic cardboard insert which formed a protective wall between the two. It also provided 8 zip-lock bags – one for each of the seven categories of tile (which need to be separate from one another at set-up), and one for the dinos. The cardboard insert was unnecessary at this point and made things awkward with the extra padding of the bags, but after chucking it everything fits very nicely. A good box!

And on the subject of Lost Kingdoms, here is some of the craziest blinging of a game that I’ve ever seen. Bear in mind that the edges of the tiles as shipped are just the bare cut cardboard from the punch boards.

Here’s City of the Great Machine with The Escalation expansion. There’s room to spare for the extra heroes pack and their associated cards, plus whatever the KS exclusive faff would have been. All while retaining the included insert, which is 70% generic wells, and amen to that! There are a decent variety of tokens, but all fairly limited in number, so while some co-mingling is required, it’s still easy to just take out what you need. Great insert with very little wasted space.
