I throw counters into the box, all mixed up because in the end- they won't get lost in the box. OK - actually I have some in fish tackel boces, but I can't keep them with the boxed game. I have others in small zip baggies inside teh box games. That works well enough for me and assures i keep box game pieces with their game. Ultimately, I am disorganized and wish to get to a standard system
