Board Game Bag Upgrade: How Ursula Carmona’s Storage Tips and Our Backpack Create the Perfect Combo
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.
Game Night’s Worst Enemy? Disorganization.
You know the drill.
It’s game night. You stack Nemesis, Codenames, and Wingspan near the door. Then the panic sets in.
What bag do I use?
Where did I put the expansion box?
Will the rain ruin the cards?
You end up with one game in a tote, another crammed into your laptop bag, and a third under your arm like a fire log. By the time you show up, you're sweating, worried something got crushed, and already mentally tired.
Now Imagine This:
You unzip your May the Game board game bag.
Inside: a 32x43x50cm storage space engineered to fit big-box games like Gloomhaven or Twilight Imperium, plus plenty of smaller titles. You slide in each game, secure them with interior straps, tuck your dice and cards into seven specialized pockets, zip it shut, and sling it over your shoulder.
You walk into game night calm, collected, and hands-free.
That’s not just convenience—it’s a transformation.
What Makes a Real Board Game Bag?
Ursula’s article makes one thing clear: organization isn’t about aesthetics, it’s about reclaiming your time. Every scattered token, every missing rulebook eats into playtime.
Our backpack follows the same philosophy, but for mobile gamers:
Massive Capacity – Up to 44 lbs of games, accessories, and snacks.
Straps That Lock In Your Setup – No shifting, no dented corners.
Inspired by 7 Wonders – Seven utility pockets for scorepads, minis, player aids, and that one bag of acrylic tokens you refuse to part with.
Built to Withstand Travel – Water-resistant, reinforced 600D Oxford fabric and 210T Nylon.
Folds Flat – When you’re done, it collapses down neatly—unlike your old tote that never really worked.
From Home Shelves to Convention Halls
Ursula’s storage solutions are about building a home base that’s efficient, clean, and satisfying to use. Our backpack extends that logic beyond the front door. Use her ideas to organize your shelves, then:
Use her elastic bands to keep lids shut inside the bag.
Label your containers, then place them in side pockets for quick access.
Pre-sort components in zippered pouches and slot them in like puzzle pieces.
It’s not a choice between her system and ours. It’s a perfect pairing: smart home storage meets smart travel storage.
Built for Gamers Who Move
We built this board game bag for the people who host, haul, plan, and prepare. The friends who always bring five options to game night. The DMs carrying hand-painted minis. The couples flying to cons with Ark Nova in tow.
And the feedback says it all:
“A lifesaver.”
“Turns chaos into calm.”
“Didn’t know how much I needed this until I had it.”
It’s not just a bag. It’s an upgrade to your entire gaming ritual.
Thanks Again, Ursula
Ursula, thank you for including us in your brilliant article. You’ve helped thousands of gamers fall back in love with their collections, not just by making them easier to store—but easier to enjoy. That mission is exactly why we made this backpack.
And to anyone already living the Carmona storage lifestyle: if you’ve optimized your shelves, it might be time to optimize your travel, too.
Because game night starts the moment you pack your bag.
May the game be with you, always.
