saving space with games

we went through the board games in an effort to save some space. most of the games are just packaging and you end up storing only air. the first pic is most of our games piled on the floor - the first step to see what we were working with. the second pic is only part of the pile of trash we had left over. we managed to throw out about 13 boxes.



some games were combined (three scene it games into one box, five trivia pursuit games fit into two boxes), while others were just loaded into a plastic bag. since we have about 40 games, we still have them stacked in various locations, but we have made some extra space (for more games, presumably).
