My Root box is quite big, because it's the french edition so it includes the Root automatons, and the first expansion (Lizards and Otters).

I think the smallest box i have is Complots which is a french version of Coup, with squared cards, it fits in one hand.

Shogun big box and for the smallest probably paku paku

Kingdom Death: Monster may be my biggest if we're counting the volume of both the game box and the miniatures box. If not Twilight Imperium is big but I think the big Galaxy Trucker-and-expansion in one box is taller and might be bigger overall.

Smallest for me is probably Codenames. Unless Set counts.

Wait.. does French edition Root have bigger box?!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think so ! Mostly because it doesn't just pack the base game, all the extra has to go somewhere 😁

Pictures online can't convey the scale but this is what it looks like

It definitely looks different and bigger. Jealous! I have to use 3 boxes to fit everything XD

Haha yeah, I still had to buy new boxes for the Underworld and Partisans expansions, but at least it only three of those !

Biggest by weight is probably wingspan with 2 expansions in the original box.

Smallest is maybe Saboteur.

Thanks for the reminder, time to play wingspan again.

My biggest box is Sonic Battle Racers because I got additions from a bajillion stretch goals met on the mid-range kickstarter tier. Box Size comparison with a Mega Drive From Reddit

My smallest is probably a travel size cribbage board, if that counts.

Biggest is Fractal: Beyond The Void, smallest is Bohnanza.

I avoid giant boxes of minis so my biggest is A Feast for Odin. With the expansion it's a pretty full box and I love every bit of it.

Smallest is probably Squire for Hire or Dragons of Etchinstone. Small deck games like the Buttonshy ones but in more compact folding envelopes. I also have a few Pack O Game games: DIG, ORC, BUS, maybe those are smaller by volume.

Biggest one is Last Night on Earth 10 Year Anniversary Edition, and smallest is One Deck Dungeon.
