Well, you all know the problem of organizing your gaming pieces. Especially at FFGs products you often get a big box with lots of pieces and cool stuff - but how to seperate them all to play fast forward without searching the whole game for pieces you do need now?

So, this is a geeklist that shall show you all the possibilities to store your gaming pieces in such a way that you have a fast accessability during gaming. What are your ideas of storing those little plastic pieces, wooden blocks and paper chits and counters?

Search the data base of BGG for all the pictures where people show us how they store these pieces and add those pictures to this geeklist! Don´t post storage boxes from game publishers - instead post alternative ways of storing those pieces in organizers, working boxes, self-made boxes etc.

Perhaps it will really help some of us

One of my favourites in my collection. Railroad Tycoon from EagleGames ist one of those games that really needs some sort of organizer. And when I purchased these boxes for my FFG-games I had one more to store RT too.

My personal solution. You really need two organizers, but this way you have enough room to store additional expansions as well.

Tackle boxes to the rescue! Settlers + C&K + Seafarers + 5-6 Player expansions for each will fit into a slightly modified Plano-style tackle box:

Seems not to be the original game box - and if it´s self-made this one is really well done! Surely one game I will hunt for... and then copy this solution.

My personal solution for Small World. Beside the fact that the game comes with an interesting box insert that is well done compared to other board games, I do not like it because you cannot see what race is in which storage compartment. With this organizer you can see them very well and don't search for the right one. It's for sure one of the few games this storage solution isn't necessary (well done!), but I like it a bit more.

I want to replace the paper chits with wooden cubes, like they are used in "Rückkehr der Helden / Return of the Heroes" for better handling. The paper chits are very annoying But with the wooden cubes that game will really be fun. Well, at least then I will need this organizer.

Tide of Iron really has so many unorganized playing pieces, it simply needs some sort of organizer. The huge game box isn´t devided in any way as normal at FFG's games. So there are many solutions out there among the playing community:

Simple answer: Because zipbacks can´t be stored properly outside the game boxes, organizers can. And twenty zipbacks inside a game box don´t make me happy - beside this most game boxes don´t have the room to store the expansions inside as well.

I suppose this item is available for international buyers, too. But in germany I just found the black organizers here:

http://www.stanley-deutschland.de/aufbewahrung/organizer/org...

But there they cost 6 Euro - a bit more than they would do on eBay. But the quality is allright, so I ordered some more.
