August 14, 2025: Playmat Storage Hack

Storing playmats is one of the most oft-bemoaned conundrums in our hobby. I have a solution that works well, at least for "standard"-sized (single-player) playmats that one would use for card games, and it's an off-the-shelf product you can buy for the ubiquitous IKEA Kallax board game shelf. Check this out:



The bottle organizer holds rolled-up playmats like little arcane scrolls, right alongside all your games. This setup has been getting compliments at game night, and the few people I mentioned it to at Gen Con had never heard of anyone doing it either, so I thought I'd share here! The only downside is that there's enough space that I am starting to feel like I need more playmats . . .

I also love my drawer inserts, which hold dice and decks of playing cards and any bagged or otherwise funky-shaped games that don't play nice on the regular shelves. Do you have unconventional storage solutions for any of your board gaming accessories? I'd love to hear about them on the forums!
