Wondered if anyone would appreciate one of these very-neat game transport/storage solutions.

You can keep your games laid-flat with the big "Tank".

They look great, they're just very expensive!

I've given some thought to gaming bags over the last couple of years. I actually made a prototype out of oilcloth with the intention of using Jess' ninja sewing skills to make a 'proper' waterproof bag for 3/4 games, laid flat with a decent handle. It never got past the prototype as I realised that what I'd 'invented' was a pizza delivery bag:

So I'm tempted to buy one of these instead. Other options I've considered are a cajon bag or robbing a Deliveroo driver/cyclist.

Was beginning to be very impressed at your efforts, Karl. But I had the same thought: All we really want are some Deliveroo bags (waterproof and which probably come with well-designed securing and padding on the inside).

I've been debating buying a cajon bag for some time - they seem to be approx the ideal size and the game specific bags are ridiculously expensive by comparison

Game carrying solutions. Empty big bag solution discussion

Let's roll with this discussion then. I'll change the title when the kickstarter ends.
Bags which stack vertically and open from the side would save a -lot- of space/clutter when in a pub.
Not having to take your games out also saves them from ware and inevitably dirty tables.
After a quick search it seems that people are find decent solutions:

They're a great option but I rarely have need to carry that many games. Something like the red one in my post above, with room for 2/3 big games and a few smaller ones would suit me most of the time.
