While the article is just rubbish, as if vertical va horizontal is settled by sticking your games to the wall (how big do they think my house is, maybe if I life in a climbing gym). However for a few games it could be cool.

Can someone explain to me what kind of product that is? I had a lot of difficulty trying to get this from the linked article. I am quite a noob on board games though.

It’s a magnetic plate that sticks to the inside of your board games and a wall mount to place them on. It’s like $150 for three mounts and magnets so if you love to spend money then this is a great way to do it. Personally I’m fine with my shelves.

Thank you for your explanation

Do you have a magnet phone mount in your car? Works exactly the same way.

Canvas comes with the wall mount built into the box.

Really cool idea.

This is great if you are into avante garde displays but for us practical folks it’s just as easy to store games on a shelf and they still look pretty nice.

Totally, I can see me using this for 3 games max because they look pretty on the wall but the rest goes into kallax

It will cost you about $150 for three games on the wall. Way too pricey and not worth the end result. Having a thick game jutting off the wall would look strange in many cases.

Seems like something that could be improvised, I would not spend 3-games on it :D

Yeah, I definitely could come up with a solution that's similar for less money
