Miniature Market Board Game Bag: Shoulder Bag

Product Review (submitted on August 2, 2020):

This review is after using this bag about 10 times with it full. This backpack is great. I used to use a giant duffel bag to carry games and this is WAYYYY better. It is strong, sturdy, and light. When you pull it out of the box it seems flimsy, however once you stick a game in there the shape really holds well. I have put in 80+ pounds worth of games in this bag, and never once felt like it might break with the weight. I am 6'6" tall and a muscular 325 pounds and this shoulder bag doesn't fit me, I will need to buy a longer strap or steal one off another shoulder bag. The straps extend long enough for me to get the bag on my shoulder, but the bag is too high and too awkward to be comfortable. If the strap was longer for me then the comfort level would be great. It's not the bag or the games that are hurting, it's just the location of the bag and where it rests on my body that makes it hurt. For most normal sized people this will not likely be an issue, however this strap did need shorter than normal compared to nearly every other duffel bag I have ever owned.

Even with that negative aspect, this is still a great deal at $25! I got lucky with a 50% off sale. I couldn't decide between the shoulder bag and the backpack so I got both. The shoulder bag is good, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the backpack and would recommend it over the shoulder bag any day of the week. I personally like the backpack better because of the way it opens. When I open the backpack it is like pulling a game off of a shelf, easy and simple. When I try to pull a game out of the shoulder bag, it is a little cumbersome and difficult because the clam shell design wants to grab the game and pull it back into the bag.
