The article discusses popular board games known for their extensive expansions and oversized boxes often referred to as "shelf hogs." It identifies games that cannot fit into a single Kallax cubbie, highlighting the issue of shelf space in board game collections. Included are examples like Ogre and Heroscape, both of which require substantial storage due to their sizes and components. The piece emphasizes the trend of gamers taking pride in owning large collections, even at the expense of space.
Ogre's Designer Edition is a prime example of a shelf hog, as it measures 24" x 20" x 5.5", combining a larger game experience in one box.
Heroscape invites players to collect multiple armies, leading to inevitable shelf sprawl due to its lack of effective storage solutions.
