Default Helpful idea for item sorting

I know whenever I play MQ, I have a ton of bags of pieces everywhere and never enough space. Came up with this idea. I think it turned out pretty darn well.

This is just to help others get ideas as well to improve their MQ experience.

I took Presentation board (1/16" cardboard basically) and cut out a flat piece to put on the bottom of the box. Then I took and cut the inserts and glued them to the board with paper.

The picture better explains what is going on. This picture some of the stuff is still drying. Cost me about $8 dollars to make.

I went out and bought a plano storage container and use it. If you scroll through the pics in that link you can see the container opened up. By doing this, I have been able to put MQ/MQ2/MQ extra parts/MQ promo items/and up to 2 extra bags of Munchkin pawns in the box. Plus I can keep each colors starting setup separated out.

Well, since you sent me a pm also, I replied to this question in a pm.

But for everyone else, its a Plano stowaway 3600. Can be found at Menards hardware store, but i'm sure any hardware store would have either this one or a similar one to use.

Yeah. I used Jan's configuration, which put MQ and MQ2 neatly in the MQ2 box.

problem is it left no room for Extra parts, so now I have to find a perm transport for all 3. Probably be a plano or some kind of storage box, but they don't make many deep enough for the tiles.

What to do with Extra Parts is why I decided to use the main MQ box for all three, with the plano to organize all the smaller parts, you can completely close the lid with MQ/MQ2/Extra Parts, and a couple bags of Munchkin pawns. Easy to carry also.

Sounds great, but what will you do when MQ3 comes out later this year? ;P
