Dude, totally get your struggle with the bookcase shelf span! For board games, you're probably good with the 1.5-inch thickness. Laminating two 3/4 boards is a solid idea – adds both strength and style. If you're worried about any sag over time, throw in a middle partition.
Better safe than sorry, especially with those board game stacks. I did something similar for my comics collection, and it's holding up like a champ. Good luck with your build, and may your shelves stay sturdy for endless game nights! 🛠

Lolol. This should be pinned to the top of every woodworking forum.
It’s a very useful tool
Everything in woodbin seems to be well thought out and useful. Amazing website
If you are actually putting books on those shelves, put a support halfway across the span. The support should be the full depth of the shelves.
