Where To Start?

Family spent much of the weekend playing games.  But I was so busy finding a place to put all the "new" (some of these games are very much vintage) games that I didn't get much time so sit down and enjoy them with the family.  One thing that really stood out was how very NOT uniform game box sizes are.  It was challenging and entertaining in it's own way.

We'll need to get some new cabinets for our games.
This is what ours look like now.



The games also took over my top 3 bookshelves, and all the space on top.  (The hat box and small bins are filled with card games/dice games, etc)


Then I moved into my oldest girls' room and took over their top shelves.  (The Snap Circuits and K'nex already belonged to them, so it was just a matter of relocating them.)


Then, when I had a handful of games left and nowhere to put them, I remembered that I have a shelf above my bedroom window. 


As far as I can tell, almost all of the new-to-us games have all of their pieces, which to me, borders on miraculous.  I do have an Othello board with no pieces and a Frogger game (based on the old video game) with no pieces.  I think we can live without Frogger, but I'm keeping an eye out for some Othello pieces that aren't a dollar each.
