TIRED OF HAULING YOUR GAMES IN IKEA BAGS?

Box damage: No protection in IKEA bags = crushed games.

Too small: Big titles don’t fit or stack properly.

Hard to carry: Handles hurt, no comfort for heavy loads.

« I was very surprised at the size of this thing. It's big and contains so many games! It's perfect for what we needed. The bag is light, it has extra side pockets for pens and extra items and snacks. Good quality on the bag both inside and out. It seems sturdy and somewhat water-resistant. I highly recommend! »

HELLO FELLOW GAMERS!

We're Tony and Elena, the co-founders of "May the Game". We want to share with you how our love for board games led us to creating the ultimate game bag.

It all started back in 2014. Working at a struggling startup, we were looking for something fun to take our minds off the day-to-day problems. We fell into the universe of board games, and what began as a two-player activity quickly evolved into a family passion with over 120+ games!

You probably know that moment when you're getting ready for game night; 4 games become 6, and before you know it, you have 10 games to carry. Two large IKEA bags filled to the brim—this couldn't be the way. IKEA bags are great, but we needed something more suitable.

So we started thinking about how to create the right bag. We nailed down 4 key qualities:

  • Spacious for the big games

  • Easy to carry up to 44 pounds

  • Plenty of pockets for the small games

  • Foldable when not in use

And we made it! We're proud to have created this bag and we're excited to share it with fellow game enthusiasts like you. As a self-funded family startup, our goal was to create a high-quality product at an affordable price, ensuring that more gamers can enjoy the convenience of a specially designed game bag.

If you choose our bag, you'll be joining a community of passionate gamers. We hope you'll love it as much as we do, and that it'll enhance your gaming experiences for years to come.

We wish you thousands of hours of unforgettable gaming with your friends. Thank you for considering our bag and potentially helping us launch this exciting adventure!

May the game be with you!
Tony and Elena
