How to store the game
While it’s not required, I definitely recommend laminating everything so it will last longer and you can keep playing it for a long time.
I bought one of these Scotch laminators a few years ago, and I use it so much for so many things from homeschooling to craft projects. I also have this 100 pack of laminator pouches, which I still haven’t used even half of it yet.
After you’ve cut all the pieces and laminated them, store in a jumbo ziplock bag. You can find them at Target in the ziplock bag aisle or get jumbo ziplock bags here.
