Let’s face it: most “board game bags” are just regular bags in disguise. You shove a few games in, pray the box corners survive, and hope you didn’t forget the dice again.

That’s why seeing our May the Game backpack featured in Ursula Carmona’s “How to Store Board Games to Maximize Playing Time” was more than flattering—it was a moment of perfect alignment. Because what Ursula does for shelves and closets, we do for game night on the go.

If you've ever tried carrying Gloomhaven and Catan to a friend’s house using a grocery tote, you know the truth: transporting board games sucks.

Boxes slide. Corners dent. Pieces get lost. And by the time you’ve wrestled your haul through three doorways and up a flight of stairs, the only thing you feel like playing is “lie down on the floor and sigh.”

That’s exactly why we built the May the Game backpack—and why we’re so thrilled GameRules.com just featured it in their 30 Gifts for Board Game Lovers guide.

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, July 23, 2025 - After more than a year of beta testing and overwhelmingly positive feedback from early users, May The Game, the family-run brand behind the best-selling board game backpack, has officially launched the final version of its oversized, foldable, and ultra-durable bag. Designed to carry up to 44 pounds of games—including large-format titles like Gloomhaven—the improved model reflects real-world feedback and delivers a product that’s now widely regarded as the ultimate companion for board game nights, conventions, and travel.
