Had a random epiphany at a coffee shop game night last Friday
I was down at Brewtopia in Portland for their weekly open game night. Some guy brought out a copy of Brass Birmingham and set it up in like 5 minutes flat with all those tiny pieces sorted. I watched him and realized I waste SO much time fumbling with baggies and sorting tokens while people wait on me. That one minute of setup he saved changed how I store my games now. I went home and bagged every single game I own by player color instead of by piece type. Has anyone else found a simple storage trick that cut down your setup time by a lot?

Must be nice being that organized. My games look like a tornado hit them.

Oh yeah, "looks like a tornado hit them" is basically the name of my game collection too. I tried the whole color-coded baggie system once and ended up with a bag full of red pieces that could be from three different games and no clue which ones. Now I just dump everything in a big ziploc and call it "mystery game night" where we have to figure out what we're playing by the pieces. Keeps things interesting when you're fishing for a yellow road but pulling out a blue sheep from Catan instead.
