  • One's collection is often a source of joy; a proud display of your very favourite boxes that have brought you so much delight over the years. What to do about the problem of 'THE GAPS, then? The ghastly, unsightly spaces-between-the-boards? Tom says it's more games.

      Neither Gloomhaven nor Frosthaven play ball with Kallax whatsoever. They've basically got a cubby each (though Gloomhaven has a file organiser for the map tiles that lives with it). Both are just a little too big to really share space with any other full-sized board game box. You'd get little ones in with Gloomhaven (sans file organiser), but you'd struggle with all but the dinkiest of small box game alongside Frosthaven.

    SMH. I would have expected more from my husband’s favorite CZcamsr. You detail out the gaps in the beginning so well, getting my hopes up for some OCD satisfying gap filling action. But then your video devolved into an actual game review. Where’s the before and afters of the box fittings? The zoomed out pictures of the perfectly filled gaps! The slow mo shots of boxes sliding in and out of perfectly fitting holes in your shelf?
    Don’t even get me started on the tragedy that was your Spectral fitting!!
    Expectation: that feeling of satisfaction when you eliminate four rows with a perfectly timed Tetris straight piece
    Reality: chaos and frustration

It was painful at first. But now I’m looking at over 125 games on one shelf, and I’m pretty proud of that. And I still have space for more mwah ha ha ha. It just wouldnt be possible otherwise.
