SETI

Back with another insert. With many different oddly shaped components/boards, hundreds of cards, and numerous tokens, this ended up being a big challenge to make. I found myself (several times) having to build and then re-design as I went along. I anchored some of the organization off of Folded Space’s design, mostly with how they stacked and separated the various boards. However, I knew I wanted to have separate trays for the tech tiles to simplify set up. Originally, I wanted to have separate trays to hold the cards and components for each alien race, but that would have taken too much space in the box (And space was very limited in this build). I also had to jettison trays for the player components and signal tokens. These sacrifices did, however, result in a build that fits the base game (minus solo components) with the Space Agencies expansion and no lid lift to boot.

I know there’s a high chance CGE will release a big box storage option in the future (as they did with Arnak), so I’m hoping some of these trays can be reworked to fit that new box, whenever it is released.

A simpler insert I made recently. Felt like a break was needed after finishing Clank (and one other frustrating insert that I’ll share some other time). Hopefully you guys find my posts more helpful than annoying. Cards are sleeved with SleeveKings Premium. The tray that holds the Side bet and Mascot tickets have exposed sides, as that was the only way I could fit them and still include a bank teller tray

Clank! Catacombs (+ Expansions)

With tons of components and two expansions to fit in, this may be the most complicated insert I’ve built yet. Im most proud of the tiles organizer, which pools the Surface tiles, depths tiles, underworld tiles, and a lot of set up components into one all inclusive mega tray. Most of the component trays were scooped with construction paper (with the exception of the player trays). As an FYI, SleeveKings standards were used for sleeves, and drawstring bags from the BGG store were used for the Prisoners, Minor, and Major Secrets. This insert fits the standard base game along with the “Lairs and Lost Chambers” and “Underworld” expansions.

Another organizer to share. A more straightforward build compared to the previous one I posted. The organizer is split into two big trays. Point token wells are scooped for easier access. I attached them to the character deck for faster set up. For the player pieces, I opted for a wide space for a faster build. SleeveKings Premium (100 microns) were used for the character deck

Back to building inserts after a long hiatus. This build had a few design challenges that made it an interesting build (smaller space, angular board tiles). I knew that I wanted the player pieces and colony tiles to have their own trays, so I structured the build around that. Initially I also wanted to have trays for each of the Epochs (divided by card type), however the design space did not allow for this. Additionally, the trays would not of significantly sped up set up, so I opted for vertically integrated dividers. This also gave more space to work with for future expansion acquisition (if they ever become available again). This was my first build to incorporate a lid, which helped with keeping the pieces from falling out when stored vertically. It also helped with locking the board pieces into place during storage. This box contains the New Nations mini-expansion and cards are sleeved with Sleeve Kings Premium (100 microns). Hope this helps with your build!
