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.

Make sure you keep getting some used board games for your garage board game shelves, having those board games, dice game, card games, and even puzzles will be a blessing for your households as harder times come in America.
By already having those garage board game shelves set up now... your household will be able to enjoy them when they will be needed in the upcoming months and years.

With so many uncertainties in today's world as it is... having the ability to have household entertainment is priceless.
Having your garage board game shelves is a great resource for keep moral up during harder times, it givers your household the ability to enjoy fun times with family and friends, when going out gets too expensive as high inflation and price increases keep pinching your wallets.

Getting some donated board games and puzzles today, a person locally no longer wants their board games... so they are donating them to me to my garage board game shelves.

I will check over the used donated board games, and once I know they are complete, I will then add them to the garage board game shelves.

As I check the used donated games over... any games missing instructions, I will reprint and replace those, if the games are missing player tokens... I will substitute those to replace them.
And if the game is missing anything else, I will see if it is a game that I can print out scanned replacement cards, or even reprint score sheets to make the games complete.

This is how you can build up your garage board game shelves, let local people know you are setting a garage board game shelf, and if anyone has any unwanted game that you will take those game for your garage board game shelves.
(This is an inexpensive way to acquire used boards at no or little cost to you.)

Keep in mind any duplicate board games that you get, you can then pay them forward to other local people for their households to enjoy, or you can set up a local community board game shelf where neighbors can borrow those duplicate games... kinda like those mini free book library boxes that people have in their yards that getting popular in many neighborhoods.

How many people on here have started their garage board game shelves, and if so how are they coming along?
Feel free to post a photo of your garage board game shelves in the comment section, so others can see how you set it up.

One good source to finding to inexpensive used board games is using craigslist and other platforms for your local area, I see lots of garage sales, estate sales, and even low cost board games in the toys/games sections.
If you do not check craigslist, or other platforms... you should start checking for a local resource for finding and buying used board games and puzzles for your garage board game shelf, another great resource is your local second hand stores; like Goodwill and so forth.
These places will save you money buy purchasing used board games from them, rather then buying new games.
The amount of money that you save buying used over a new board game is a lot and you can get more board games for your dollar this way.

Keep building up your garage board game shelves... as times get harder, your family and friends will be thankful to have access to board games, card games, and dice games as money gets tighter because so many things are getting expensive to do.

By planning ahead, and buying used board games now... and stashing them on your garage board game shelf, you are basically guaranteeing cheap entertainment for your households.

Make sure that the board games are all complete before you stick them on your garage board game shelves. This makes it easier when you decide to play a board game, that you know the game is all complete, so it will fun to play.

About

Board games are a great way to gather with friends and family to have some low cost entertainment and to share smiles while creating great memories.
I think more people should set up a board game shelf in their garage, and designate those games for a local board games library to share with local people, like neighbors, friends and family.
This way anyone who wants to host a game night can borrow the games, creating good memories and fun times. Then after their game night they return the games back.
I created a local Garage Board Game shelf so some local seniors can borrow and share various puzzles, as well as board game, card games, and dice games.
I realized that things were getting expensive, and not many people may be able to afford these items. So I purchased some used board games at a local second hand store to get my Garage Board Game Shelf started, I also accept local used donated games as well, than I add them to the Garage Board Game shelf.
