Does anyone have any good suggestions for game bags? The ones I bring to game nights invariably wear out and tear after a couple of months' usage. I suspect they're usually designed for lighter usage. What do you guys use?

I have a "parachute cargo bag" [pretty cheap from Amazon or any
sporting goods camping section], made of canvas. It is incredibly
sturdy, but admittedly just a little bulkier than ideal. It can easily
hold around a dozen Agricola-size boxes, for instance. In the past,
I've also used those $1 "save the planet" / "this is not a plastic
bag" grocery store bags. They can USUALLY fit about 3 Agricola-size
boxes, so I typically carry two, but they're much less unwieldy and
are cheap to replace.

+1 to all of this.

I use an Israeli Duffle Bag for travel to, say, GenCon, and the $0.99 shopping bags for game day carry.

Just don't underestimate the size of that 25" x 15" x 13". That's,
like, really huge.

Nice Thread.

Thumbs up.  Oh, wait ...there's no thumbs up button.

I have a couple of those big blue Ikea bags.  They are made out of that blue tarp-like stuff, and are a great size (will fit Ticket To Ride-size boxes). http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/17228340/  I used these when I had to move 1500 games from the top floor to new storage in the basement.
