Picking the best BOX SIZE for your board game

Interesting topic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Not many channels actually discuss about this aspect. BG boxes can be annoying to store especially the rectangular ones. They sit on top of my shelf. Don't even bother to keep odd shaped boxes.

We are just having this conversation. Such great timing. Thanks for the insights <3

Great video, and a not-talked-about as much topic. Thanks!

I like chunky smaller boxes like the ones used for Kinfire Delve or Spire’s End, and the small square boxes of the Oniverse games. Those smaller, easy-to-handle sizes encourage me to get the games to the table, whereas a big Everdell or Frostpunk box always feels like too much to deal with, and boxes the sizes of a typical card deck just sort of disappear. But, of the two game ideas I’m working on, the game with the most traction seems absolutely determined to fit only in a Kallax-size box. It’s been an interesting intellectual exercise to rethink it for smaller packaging—but so far, I haven’t gotten to an alternative size yet. And now you remind me to think about sleeves, too 😮 Well, it’s all part of the process!

I'm a music teacher and also made board games for educational purposes. It's a great tool for the class room.

I hope they will also offer custom board size with custom fold lines! If anyone is using a phone they might have to switch to the desktop version of the website to see the custom option.

That Isle of Cats box you showed was actually large enough to house a cat.

Great topic. Another thing to consider is expansions. I hate when I can’t fit an expansion in the base box. Also what is the Dino West game behind you? It is two of my favorite genre together.

Depending on what materials you used to make your game board etc with, as well as the bix, weight is also a factor.

I like the size of Transogram's old boxes, from the 50's & 60's. (Basically the same shape as the Milton Bradley box shown at the beginning of the video, but smaller, maybe 3/4 size.)

Cool video! Adam- what about games in cloth bags?

I think the perfect size box for many games is the Codenames box. Even chunky euros are possible with this size e.g. Red Cathedral. Where did you find your French copy of For Sale? I've been after this for ages. I'll keep an eye out for Timeline - Dentistry 😉

Launch Tabletop is really great but I struggle with too much choice. 😆🤐 give me options but not fully custom or else I'll blue screen and you'll need to restart me.

The misstakes felt very on purpose to fit the product placement. But an interesting topic.

No link to Launch Tabletop?

I'm going to make one of the best games ever, and it'll be in a scroll tube out of spite
