Garage Board Games Shelves

1 y

Welcome to the Garage Board Games Shelves Page.
Over the past few years I've seen a lot of neighborhood free book libraries sprout up in our neighborhood, and it gave me an idea... why not do something like that for board games?
So I came up this concept... set up a shelving unit in your garage and fill it with used board games, card games, dice games, and puzzles.
Let local people have access to the free used board games and puzzles so they can enjoy time with family and friends without having to spend money.
People need to be social, and board games and puzzles bring people together.
NOTE: I do require a $5 cash deposit on all games and puzzles so that way they are returned.
Since I do buy some of the board games, this keeps the games being returned back to me.

Keep buying used board games as you see them, and keep adding those used board games to your Garage board game shelving unit, having a used board shelving unit of various games for your family to enjoy is priceless.
Once you buy a used or new board game, you can enjoy it any time with friends and family members.
Try this on Thanksgiving and into the New Year...
1. Start a new tradition and start playing board games during the holidays or when celebrating a birthday when you gather with friends and oved ones.
2. Start hosting a board game night once a month and gather with friends and family.
Board games allow your household a low cost form of entertainment, many people from various age groups enjoy playing board games together.

If your local second had store has a good supply of used board games, card games, and dice games... buy what you can.
Make sure you double check them over before you purchase them, so you if they are complete you know, and if they are missing some pieces you will know.
Some game pieces can be replaced like dice.
You can also replace missing cards, by photo copying the missing cards to a board game, from a complete game... so you can it complete and playable.
As for missing player tokens, I use toys or painted wooden cut dowels.
Once the games are complete and have their game's directions, they will be playable and will be enjoyed by anyone who plays the game.
You can always donate the games to other families if you have double games, or keep building up your garages as well.
Remember board games will be a great resource to have and enjoy during harder times.

Make sure you have some used board games and puzzles for your household as we go into the Winter season.
The board games and puzzles will be fun times for your households as you gather around inside to hang out, because it will be too cold for many outside activities.
Having various board games and puzzles on a garage board game shelf is an important thing to have in each household. It allows family and friends to share and spend time together to have some fun times together, and it is a low cost entertainment that all can enjoy.
You can buy used board games, card games, dice games, and even puzzles at your local second hand stores.
(Just be sure to check over the games to make sure they are complete.)

Hopefully you have been buying some used second hand board games and puzzles this past Summer and that by now you have a garage board game shelving unit of various board games and puzzles so that your household is all set for the upcoming harder times.
If you haven't got a garage, turn a hall closet into a board game closet.
If you haven't already set one up, do so before the end of this year.
Having the ability to have various board games as household entertainment is going to be important; because when you can no longer afford to go out, and prices are too high to eat out, go to the movies, or maybe groceries are too expensive and you want to have some fun... your household will be at least able to play some board games with friends and family.
Harder times are coming, prepare as best as you can before the hard times arrive.
Worth a read.
