We have some nifty ways to organize our games without sacrificing precious space. Under our bed, we store various games, but not in their original bulky boxes. Instead, we use&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3NOoElQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4&#215;6 photo storage boxes<\/a>&nbsp;for card games like Professor Noggins or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/48FZa2a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Penguin Panic<\/a>. These boxes are also perfect for board game pieces, like those from Monopoly. You can then store all the boards for the games together. And don\u2019t forget about travel versions of your favorites, like magnetic chess\u2014a lifesaver during bumpy rides\u2014these can be much smaller versions of the same game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"outdoor-gaming-tips\"><strong>Outdoor Gaming Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When the weather's good, we love taking our game sessions outside. Our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/41I1HGK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLAM Quick-Set Escape Sky Camper<\/a>&nbsp;provides the perfect shelter, and we set up our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3S3k8CM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KingCamp Camping Table<\/a>&nbsp;for a fun outdoor playing area. You can also use the picnic table at most campground sites, but make sure you&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3ScDB45\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cover<\/a>&nbsp;it up\u2014we've seen what people put on those, and it's not pretty.
