The only thing holding me back from playing Settlers with BOTH the Traders and Barbarians set and the Seafarers set at once is the thought of sorting the pieces out at the end and getting everything back into the correct boxes. Is there a marking method out there that does not mar the beauty of the pieces but makes packing-up easier?

I have a solution that has worked out great for us. We colored coded the items from each set using colored markers on the thin white side edge of each of the hexes, board pieces, etc based on the set with which it had arrived. We used light pastel markers, the effect is not noticable during standard game play but makes it incredibly easy to group cards at the end of the gam To simplify, I recommend the original game items be left white and the other pieces be filled in.... Hope that helps - let me know if you want a picture to help |

For the tiles it's quite easy to write the expansion (or print it out on a sticker for a nicer look) on the bottom. |

I would just write down how much of what you need in each box and use that as a check list. If you remember what the pieces are called, a list is easier to make and doesn't require printing. Separating how many times of each tile goes in the Seafarers box and the base game box is a hassle. I've already put a list of components in my 5-6 player boxes for the extensions, but not in my Seafarers main expansion box. Next time I play Seafarers I'm going to add one. |

I don't have the Traders and Barbarians expansion, but assuming it doesn't come with a list of components, you could do the following:
If you don't have a digital camera, I'm sure you could find images doing a Google Image Search for all the components. |
