laminated sticker sheets. Brilliant. I think I like this better than the reusable stickers. Any issues with the laminated pieces moving around on the board? I’ve finally got a copy en route and I am going to be playing solo and with a group simultaneously. I don’t want to permanently modify the board. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks, sir. Really enjoy your content.
Y.A.S.S. (Yet Another Storage Solution) for Gloomhaven over at Board Game Geek has an awesome thread showing a storage solution for under $20 using 3 Plano 3600 boxes and 1 Plano 3601 box. A couple of guys even went through the trouble of making PDF's you can print off and put inside all 4 Plano boxes showing exactly where everything goes. Even has pictures and quantity of each item. Good stuff.
One thing I've found useful and doesn't cost very much is Christmas gift boxes, and I'm talking about the ones that are the same sturdiness as game boxes, ( not the flimsy shirt boxes ) you can find a fairly good size box for about $6-$8 bucks and sometimes cheaper in the off season...but you will need to reskin them and or paint the outside of the box so you Gloomhaven isn't on the shelf in a Frosty the Snowman box...I've done this for multiple games and even done this if a game box get badly damaged
I picked up Gloomhaven as my very first real board game(not said in a bad way). I have had it for a week or so and dont want to punch the cardboard stuff till I figure out how I want to store it. I've looked/read at bunch of different ways. I like yours a lot do to the simplicity of it. But I also really like TBT insert. I think it may be worth the money, but I'm not sure about the monster tuck boxes that they use. I like the look of them but here they can be hard to repack. Something I think I can overcome. Thanks for a great video. I am so excited to play this. I'm working on getting a group of 2 to 3 friends to join me in the adventure.
Have fun playing Gloomhaven! I wanted to show an alternate option to spending a lot on a custom insert. The insert can be used as is very nicely. The biggest thing is the box to store tokens. That’s the biggest setup time saver. Plus at that time there wasn’t many inserts in the wild for me. Hope it helps and see you around :)
This is so great- im waiting for my game to arrive and some of these tips make me feel a bit more confident about all the work ill have to do when I get it lol
Wow, 110 videos on Gloomhaven, crazy. Very nice storage solution. I am a sleever too, and I get the feeling with all the play you have put that game through it would have been trashed by now without sleeves.
Yup, that was quite the insane amount of effort at the time. But I enjoyed every minute of it! It would have certainly taken a beating but now it still looks brand new! :)
The monster setup is an awesome idea! I was thinking about how to resolve this last night when putting everything back in my box after an hour plus punching cardboard.
This video has given me the confidence to create a solution that works best for me from scaffolding off of your and a couple other folks’ methods. Thank you so much for creating this video!!!
Those have been tough and I have a separate box to store them for now. I do have an insert that I’m going to put together from eRaptor that should solve this problem!
@@RollingSolo I'm currently finding your workout to be WayyY faster than the standard solution and I've placed them in alphabetical order too which helps! Many thanks once again!
Just curious, as you are resetting the game multiple times, how do you handle the individual character "upgrades" which are normally tracked with a sticker on the player card? Thanks again for helping!!
I laminated a sheet of the upgrades. Cut them out. Use them and then when resetting I pull them off the card. I put a tiny bit of sticky tac on the card and put the laminated upgrade on. Then it’s sleeved. However the reset pack is the easiest way for sure at this point as it just includes a new sticker sheet.
Hey there! Wonderful video, thanks for sharing! I JUST ordered Gloomhaven and want to pick up some sleeves for the cards. Can you recommend, or let me know what sleeves you are using? Looks like 2 or 3 sizes as well. Again, wonderful solution!
Hey James! I'm using Mayday I believe. Just two types. The mini sleeves and the standard size if I'm not mistaken. Don't quote me as I'm not close to the game at the moment. Check the Gloomhaven BoardGameGeek page for more info on which types of Mayday sleeves work! Cheers :)
Hey Lance, that I'd have to check. I don't know off hand. I may not have the model number sticker anymore. I could give you dimensions when I get a chance though!
I know this is a bit late but from the dimensions of the game (from amazon’s posting) I THINK it’s a 3750. Well...an older version that is now a “pro-latch”. That’s what I’m going to buy along with the game and cross my fingers lol
OMG just got the game and spent roughly 5 hours messing with ways to store everything within the box. Love that you did a video about this. Loving the game. Pure genius. But no joke kind of hating the creator for including so much content. I feel we could of gotten the same quality of a game without the ridiculous amount of material that is borderline obnoxious. Do we really need like 30 something different monsters and about 100 tiles that might only be used once in about 50 missions? I'm enjoying the game immensely. But when there are 100s if not 1000s of posts on ways to store everything, you know it's a problem.
+Crushing It Hey Crushing IT! All fair points. The game is a beast, but most of us knew that going in as it doesn’t hide its size well haha Glad to hear you’re enjoying it. I think I’m the long run you’ll be happy you have more content than not enough! So there’s a plus :) Cheers!
I went to my local copy and print center. I believe there were two lamination options. The thickest one was really rigid so I went with the lesser option so it could bend. Where did you get yours done that peeled?
Thanks for your reply. I did my at officeworks. I believe they only have 1 option for laminating which I think is probably using 80 microns pouches. Maybe the laminating pouches they use do not have any glue to adhere to the paper
Hey Mr. Fless, thanks for watching! I mentioned how I sleeve during the video. In terms of keeping everything inside the box I found this to be the worst way to get the game to the table to quickest. It was better to organize the contents and keep the map tiles outside the box in a container. Setup and tear down are much better now.
sorry to bother u again...but i did what u did b4 watching this ...but i have monster stat cards that dont have any card attack associated with them ...is that corrected ,or am i missing cards?
I very much doubt you’re missing cards. The monster stat cards are specific. The mini cards can be generic to multiple types of enemies. If one word matches it typically belongs to that enemy. For instance, ‘boss’ cards are used for all the unique bosses. Same logic applies to some of the other monsters. Cheers!
I’ve followed your system with my 3rd printing of the game and I seem to have a lot less cards than you. With your monster stacking system with the cards, you say you don’t have room for them all and your boss cards are put down the side. I had room for them all with room to spare. Could it be the fact that your cards are sleeved?
Rolling Solo thanks. I’ve just ordered sleeves as the cards are thinner than I expected. Only paid £11 for 600 so I guess they’re not premium! Lol. They’ll do the job though! Thanks again.
I love the look of all the Gloomhaven stuff, and I want to protect it all, but like you, I have a hard time paying for a solution that costs as much as the game itself. (I did indeed get my 2e edition for only $100 but I really don't want to shell out another $80-90 bucks on the Broken Token, Daedelus, or Meeple Realty ones, although they do look amazing) Seeing what you have here, I like the idea of using what is already there to your advantage, with no need to buy other items or use bags that could become messy. In the end, I currently have plenty of cardboard, a ream or two of cardstock, as well as plastic transparencies. Combining those two with an X-acto and some tape, i think I can create a decent set of trays that will hold the tokens, and even have a see-thru covering as a lid. I think BGG has some files on the Gloomhaven page for tuckbox plans and such, so I will start there and see what works and can mesh with my own ideas. Thanks again for showing your setup!
The insert that comes with it along with Plano boxes easily handle the organization. The card setup for monsters and their abilities in the bottom of the box that I lined up makes them super easy to find when needed. So it all doesn’t have to be on the table. I don’t plan on getting an insert for this game as creativity is sometimes a better and cheaper solution! Glad you found it helpful! I’ve seen others setups as well and found them quite cool too. Nothing wrong with an insert but I’d rather buy a new game!
Would you mind sharing the dimensions of the 3 small plastic containers you used for the tokens? What craft store if you remember purchasing them from? Thank you so much!
I know it is not as creative as yours but I would just go right to the Broken Token Solution. Very handy. Although expensive. But given the hours you spend with this brute I see it as money well spend.
Hey Marc! It's still a great solution. If you have the coin, the Broken Token is a quality product. I've seen some videos on their Gloomhaven one and it looks great. I have a Broken Token insert for LOTR LCG. :)

The idea of printing the stickers and laminating then to stick them to the board with some tacky is genius! I will definitely do that :)
It really does work awesome! :D
Still use it today!

+eortli1 Wow! Now that’s awesome to hear. Glad I was able to help you come up with your own solution. Cheers!
This was helpful esp the way u store monsters cards
I think that was the biggest advantage as well. That as well as the organizer allows the game to be very organized!
Great video, thank you
You’re welcome! See you again I’m sure.
I'm gonna use the setup u got for the monster ability cards. I been racking my brain thinking of how to store the maps tho
Those have been tough and I have a separate box to store them for now. I do have an insert that I’m going to put together from eRaptor that should solve this problem!
@@RollingSolo I'm currently finding your workout to be WayyY faster than the standard solution and I've placed them in alphabetical order too which helps! Many thanks once again!
I guess the only thing that's missing from the 2nd print version are the hp/xp dials. But you still have some space there, so they'll fit :)
+Martin L Good point Martin! Those will fit perfect when I get all four. I only have one dial at the moment due to a shipping error. :)

Excellent and thanks for the QUICK response!
Good set up. Like the new intro :-)
Thanks MJ! Great to hear madam!
That would be Madam ;-) as I am a lady :-)
Correction noted ;)
could u tell me the size of the box inside i am planning to buy a piano-box or how u call it but need to know the size in mm if u have the info.
Hey Gert, the dimensions are as follows:
41cmx 29.7x cm x19 cm
Thx
No problem! Sorry for the delay on that. Cheers!
What is the model number of the Plano box?
Hey Lance, that I'd have to check. I don't know off hand. I may not have the model number sticker anymore. I could give you dimensions when I get a chance though!
Rolling Solo the model number is typically embedded or embossed into the plastic, though not always.
did you ever find the model number or dimensions?
I know this is a bit late but from the dimensions of the game (from amazon’s posting) I THINK it’s a 3750. Well...an older version that is now a “pro-latch”. That’s what I’m going to buy along with the game and cross my fingers lol

The answer is yes.
What kind of lamination did you used? Whenever I laminate and then cut, the lamination peals.
Thanks
I went to my local copy and print center. I believe there were two lamination options. The thickest one was really rigid so I went with the lesser option so it could bend. Where did you get yours done that peeled?
Thanks for your reply.
I did my at officeworks. I believe they only have 1 option for laminating which I think is probably using 80 microns pouches. Maybe the laminating pouches they use do not have any glue to adhere to the paper
Nice...but whats about sleeving cards and keep everything inside?

Could it be the fact that your cards are sleeved?
Yes! Card sleeving adds to the thickness. All my are premium sleeves so they are 100 microns thick each. It adds up! :)
Rolling Solo thanks. I’ve just ordered sleeves as the cards are thinner than I expected. Only paid £11 for 600 so I guess they’re not premium! Lol. They’ll do the job though! Thanks again.
I also buy ones which aren’t a premium and find they’re just fine. Premium is sometimes overkill and expensive.

At least for this one as the insert is super expensive!
Cheap and easy? Hm, I think I need to steal this idea.
haha ;P
Would you mind sharing the dimensions of the 3 small plastic containers you used for the tokens? What craft store if you remember purchasing them from? Thank you so much!
I’ll have to get back to you on that. They run the long side of the box with some room to spare. About an inch or so across and maybe two-three deep.
Rolling Solo thanks I appreciate it :)
Hey April, no problem. I checked and they're 5" x 1.5" x 1.5" (inches). Hope this helps!
Rolling Solo thank you!! ❤️
I know it is not as creative as yours but I would just go right to the Broken Token Solution. Very handy. Although expensive. But given the hours you spend with this brute I see it as money well spend.
Hey Marc! It's still a great solution. If you have the coin, the Broken Token is a quality product. I've seen some videos on their Gloomhaven one and it looks great. I have a Broken Token insert for LOTR LCG. :)
