My family was the same way in high school. Eventually I got smart and started hiding their games and stuff and made it clear that I was the keeper of the keys. If they couldn't respect my space, they couldn't play whatever game was the last offender. I didn't just limit it to hiding things in my room, either. For one game, I hid it in my brother's room and totally forgot about it. He didn't find it until years later, after he'd forgotten he'd ever had it.
Yeah, there was a lot of conflict at first, but when you hold the keys and are good at it, they learn eventually.
It also helps to have periods when you can move freely and a good eye for spots to put things.
