How Do You Pack Up Your Game Board and Pieces?
Looking for some help and options to be able to carry LNOE easily from place to place.
Currently I have the original pack, Growing Hunger, Stock Up, Zombie Revenge, and the extra CD. We often take LNOE to other people's place to play, but that's a lot to haul in 2 big boxes, and stuff floats around or shifts inside the boxes making a mess/damaging items. Ideally, I would like one way to organize all these together where it is easy haul and set up. I recently went to the comic shop and bought some card holders. Right now I have one for the hero cards, zombie cards in another, and all the heros in one, all the zombies in a big one. The most convenient is that all the wounds, spawning pits, etc are collected into a couple small holders that really help keep things clean. Still, that is too much to fit in one of the LNOE boxes, even without the black inserts. Can anyone comment on how they do this? Still just use the 2 LNOE boxes? Use a large tool box, maybe a tackle box? Thanks in advance! |

RE: How Do You Pack Up Your Game Board and Pieces?
i use a tackle/ tool box with a loot of compartments and stuff. but i still keep the hero cards, scenarios and the board pieces in one of the last night boxes. but none of the chips, figs, and cards get messed up in the tackle box which is more important to me then the board.

I'm looking into something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/Aluminum-15-Notebook...7C294%3A50
There are many different sizes and shapes so you should be able to find one that is just right. The interior is lined with foam rubber so you pieces wont get beat up and some come with dividers so you can compartmentalize the case. |

I actually removed the plastic place holder from one of my boxes, and put all my counters and board peices in there. The counters are all in ziplocs.
The second box I use for the scenario and character cards, plus all the dice, figs, etc. (also in ziplocs) When bringing the games with me, they both fit nicely into a plastic bag from the local Target store (recycle!) |

I carry both boxes. Everything fits perfectly well if you carry both. the cards/tiles(including promos) all fit into the GH box, and I keep the tokens and everything else (inside plastic baggies) inside the original box. This is WITH the plastic holders.

I've put up a few pictures showing how I have the game organized (take a look in the gallery). It definitely helped when I carried the game over to some friends this weekend.
Take a look and let me know what you think. |

Very efficent! Are you German? (I say this because on a few other gaming sites I'm on, those German guys are always the most industrious and efficient!) I noticed in your profile that you used to be from Iowa....which part? I live in the Waterloo, IA area. |

I just pile it all in but I am thinking I might take the insert out of my ATOE since everything doesn't fit all that great since I put the tokens into little resealable craft bags.

May be a year or so, but gives me time to work on those Zombie strategies. |
