14 Board Game Organization Ideas

If you have stacks of board games piled in a closet, missing game pieces, or it takes 10 minutes to find the right dice for Monopoly, it might be time for an organizational upgrade.

A well-organized board game collection doesn’t just make your space look better—it makes your game nights stress-free, faster, and way more enjoyable.

Say goodbye to cluttered game shelves and endless digging.

With a few simple tips and tools, you can transform your board game chaos into accessible order.

Whether you’re a casual gamer or a board game enthusiast with an expansive collection, these board game organization ideas will save you time and make your game nights unforgettable.

The Best Board Game Organization Ideas

1. Sort and Declutter Your Collection

Before you start organizing, take stock of your board games.

Pull them all out of cabinets, closets, and shelves for a complete inventory.

This is your chance to donate or sell any games you no longer play.

Bonus tip? If you host game nights often, involve your friends—ask which games they love and which ones never make it to the table.

Once you’ve edited the collection down to your favorites, you’ll know how much storage space (and effort) you’ll need to organize it all.

2. Invest in Clear Storage Bins for Smaller Games

Smaller games like card decks, dice-based games, or travel-size editions often get lost in the shuffle.

Clear plastic bins or containers are lifesavers here.

Use bins labeled by game or category (e.g., dice games, card games, or party games) so you can grab what you need at a glance.

Pro Tip

For card-heavy games, use deck holders or storage boxes to keep them secure and organized, preventing loose cards from wandering into neighboring games.

3. Use Adjustable Shelves for Ultimate Flexibility

Are your game boxes all different shapes and sizes?

Then adjustable shelves are your best friend.

They allow you to create custom-sized compartments for each game box, maximizing every inch of storage space.

Not only does this look great, but it’s also more practical when pulling items in and out.

4. Zippered Pouches for Accessories and Extras

One of the biggest headaches of board games?

Missing pieces or accessories scattered around your house.

Zippered pouches, like the ones used for office supplies, are a quick fix.

Label the pouches or use a color-coding system for even faster identification.

Store items like dice, figurines, extra cards, and replacement tokens in the pouches, then keep them in a larger bin or on a dedicated shelf.

This trick is especially helpful for games with lots of small moving pieces, such as Dungeons & Dragons or Risk.

Whether it’s sorting game pieces into labeled bags, storing games on display-worthy shelves, or creating a digital database, these tips will help streamline your collection and level-up your game nights.

Happy Decluttering!
