My game closet is a mess. Mainly it's the broken boxes. Some of them I taped with clear packaging tape, but a lot are beyond repair. Anyone have ideas how to neatly store the games without the boxes it came in?

Large ziplock bags? Matching tupperware or its cheap equivalent. If theyre all the same size they should stack nicely.

Depends what kind of games, they come in all different shapes with different pieces... get a bunch of containers and baskets that stack well, cut a side off each game box to put in/on the box/basket so you can see what's inside, and repackage everything. For a bunch of games that have few pieces, stack the boards, put the pieces in baggies, and put all the baggies into one box/basket.

Thanks for the suggestions! I thought it would be hard to find containers the size of a game board, but I will go check the stores to see what they have. I like the idea of stacking it into one box, and using ziplock bags for the pieces.

There are 3 different kinds of boxes - blue, yellow and purple (maybe more?) different games fit in the different boxes, so be sure to read the blurb before buying.

Those look great! The only thing is now I have to figure out how much is worth it to spend before I just buy a new game.
