Pocket Trouble Brewing

I have been working on crafting a pocket sized version of Trouble Brewing to travel with. The first picture is a pretty extreme example using 17 players and all reminder tokens on the last day.

I had initially planned to have it all fit in an Altoids container. That was... a bit ambitions of me. I ended up going with a 4.5 X 3.3 inch tin container I found on Amazon.

The charicter tokens are .5 inch circular magnets with adhesive on one side. I just printed off some re-sized images of the tokens and stuck them on. I used the sheet that the circular magnets came on and cut out some "Dead" tokens that can sit on top of the charicter tokens.

Reminder tokens were done similarly using adhesive backed magnet strips abd cutting them to a small size (thankfully Trouble Brewing has very few reminder tokens).

The reminder tokens, dead tokens, and "Characters not in Play" magnets all fit nicely on the sides of the tin.

The night order sheet I printed on plain paper and used double-sided tape to stick it to the tin. I printed a small arrow and stuck it to another magnet to use as a slider to keep track of where I am on the night order. There is extra space on the bottom of the turn order sheet detailing player count information. This area can be used during the game to store tokens that are not in play (they stack nicely and stick to each other pretty well).

The player sheets are condensed onto 20 double-sided cardstock sheets. The front has all the Townsfolk while the back has Outsiders, Minions, the Imp, and Travelers.

The only thing I am still trying to figure out is what to do to log life/death/ghost vote status, and having a public sheet with the player count info on it. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Preferably, it would be some solution that fits inside the tin.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on improving this project!
