Help the next game begin smoothly by leaving a clear packing guide inside the box after the current session. Gather the game components, a blank card, a pen, and reusable small containers.
Set it up
Count the components using the game instructions and write a short inventory grouped by pieces, cards, tokens, and accessories. Describe pieces by both color and shape when several groups look similar.
Put the idea to work
Pack each group into its own container and sketch the arrangement that fits comfortably inside the original box.
Finish and keep it useful
Place the reset card on top so whoever puts the game away can check the count and follow the layout. Avoid inventing a component count from memory when the instruction booklet provides the proper reference.
Which game in your home would benefit most from a clear packing diagram?
