![How to Pack Games at Spiel: An Introductory Lesson](https://cf.geekdo-images.com/5OjfeVqXXSmsjHhOnQXd9w__thumb/img/0WA1vHucUhgzXf4vUqnLWbLjMIE=/fit-in/200x150/filters:strip_icc()/pic1068166.png)
Spiel 2015 was my tenth trip to Essen, and the tenth time that I had to finagle with dozens of boxes in order to violate the laws of nature and fit more than was thought possible into each and every box. This year was a bit different from years past as my wife, son and I traveled through Europe a bit post-Spiel, so I shipped most games home to travel lighter on the road. Even so, the principles of packing that I present in the video still apply.
Perhaps in the future, whether at Spiel, Gen Con or another gaming event, I can create a highlight video of the initial packing process, one in which every game is punched, bagged, and stuffed, one that shows a stack of inserts to be left behind for the hotel employee, one that depicts the teetering pile of inserts, cards, catalogs, and rulebooks destined for the recycling bin at Spiel.
I hope that this video proves helpful for you in the future!
