My game room is in the basement. Moving pins in is easy, coming through the garage door it's a straight shot down the carpeted basement stairs. I get a piece of cardboard, lay the pin down on the landing and let gravity do the work, all I do is stay in front and keep them from tobogganing down.

Moving them up, I have a Harbor Freight electric winch mounted in the center of two 2x4s (for strength). I stand that up in the garage door opening at the top of the landing, lean the game against the stairs on the same cardboard (front edge curled up so it doesn't slip underneath), wrap the cable around the game and 30 seconds later it's at the top.

A shout out to jDubbs (R.I.P), saw him do this with plywood on the (uncarpeted) stairs and winch mounted to the front of his Jeep.
