Card Cascade is a stackable storage-and-play system that makes it much easier to set up, play and pack away the game, now adapted for Innovation Ultimate. The designs are my own and are entirely free for you to download and print for your own use.

This is why it really helps with the game:

• The base game and every expansion are instantly available with little setup
• The vertical cascade effect uses the lid as the base and reduces table space to play
• Ages are laid out sequentially across 3 or 4 boxes, with room for achievements as well
• Each expansion is marked with a removable topper that helps keep focus during play
• The boxes provide compact, secure and stackable storage when not playing the game
• There are separate designs for sleeved and unsleeved cards
• There is room for the reference cards and player mats at the back of each box
• A single box holds all the cards for either 3 or 4 ages, so you'll need 3 or 4 boxes to hold 11 ages plus misc achievements etc in the 12th slot
• Printing requires no supports and the design fits on most printers. The design for 4 ages, sleeved cards, requires a big printer.

How it works

Each Cascade is a box that contains sliding card holders and is closed with a lid. Each cards slot can hold up to 15 cards, and a single Cascade has 4x5 card slots.

To play, remove the lid and insert the removable pushers from the back into the keyed slots. Then, put the box on top of the upside-down lid, so the pushers lift each row of card holders into a stepped cascade via the hole in the bottom of the box.

Next, remove the toppers that protect the expansions only for those expansions you want to play with, and leave the others in place. This mechanism means you won't put a card in the wrong slot by accident.

When you’re finished playing, put the toppers back on the expansions, lift the box out of the lid, store the pushers in their dedicated compartment at the back of the box, and slide the lid back over the top. The cards are now held securely with little wasted space.

Box Labels

Each box has room for a slide-in label in front and on the side. The front label is the same size for all boxes, and the side labels come in a few standard sizes. The label width in mm is part of the standardised box “model number”.

Storage space

If you print 3 Cascades with 4 ages in each, the volume it needs is comparable to the full Innovation Ultimate box: The Sleeved version is 18% larger, and the Unsleeved version is similarly smaller in size than the original box.

The Cascades won't fit in the original box in either configuration though.

Card Cascade for other games

Card Cascade was originally designed for Dominion, but I am slowly expanding the list. In addition to Innovation Ultimate, these are the games currently supported:

• Card Cascade for Dominion
• Card Cascade for Food Chain Magnate
• Card Cascade for Compile

The Card Cascade model numbering system

Each Cascade has a unique model designation like M5·15·10·45·Sl, to make sure it's possible to refer to each design in an unambiguous way. This is what it means:

• M = Medium width, i.e. 3 horizontal card slots. Small is 4, Large is 5.
• 5 = Five sliding card holders, one for each expansion.
• 15 = Capacity of each static front pocket, where you store the base cards
• 10 = Capacity of each holder slot, always 15 for Innovation
• 45 = Width of the side label in mm.
• Sl = Sleeved cards (Un = Unsleeved)

The same designation is used consistently throughout the system so that boxes, lids, pushers, holders and accessories can always be matched correctly, including between different games.

Does this work with other versions of Innovation?

I have tried it with the Asmadi version, and the card sizes are the same so it works just fine. Post your own experience below!

Will there be changes and updates?

Nothing is currently planned, but if you have a good idea I'm open to it :) What do you think could be better?

The one thing I might do is publish versions with room for fewer expansions. Would that be useful?

I look forward to your comments :)

About 1000 small magnets implemented in a fully funcional magnetic board for 5-6 players. Every number token and robber clicks in place with magnets. Even the harbor pieces and card tray are held in place by magnets in the lid so they dont fall
Out.

Love the end result!

Hi all, just wanted to share a storage solution that I created for the game. I have all the expansions so there were way too many boxes. So I've designed and printed this to look like books. They're named after the game's expansions and then after a scenario of each expansion.

Hope you like.

So I sent a friend three inserts to check out and print if they could. The they were Evacuation, New Frontiers, and Edora.

Now these images are what I got. He said it was for Evacuation but they don't match that insert link nor the other two inserts I sent.

What game are these prints for?

STAY TUNED

I haven't done much with selling my prints, but this one took enough time and filament that I figured it was finally worth trying to make some money back—and maybe fuel my dream of eventually getting a Prusa Core One+ with 8 INDX. 😂
(I do intend to limit my self-advertisement here, in the spirit of the rules of the forum)

My wife wanted some game organization similar to ForgeCore, but she wanted a little more consistency between games and wanted the boxes to actually look like a series of books sitting on the shelf. I also couldn't find a "book" storage system that worked with Apples to Apples, so I ended up making my own system.

The plan is to keep improving the system as I make more games.

These don't replace the actual board game pieces. They replace the original box and include some custom inserts to keep everything organized inside.

One downside is that, in order to maximize the available space, these are fairly large prints. You'll need a 250mm × 250mm build plate to print them.

Currently I have:

• Settlers of Catan — compatible with the 5–6 Player Expansion
• Apples to Apples

And my store has room for one more. I'll probably post up the Catan - Explorers and Pirates, and I may post up the Playing Cards one for free.

My next project is Betrayal at House on the Hill + Widow's Walk, and I have several more games planned after that; Disney Villainous and Marvel Villainous are two that my wife wants done. After that, I need to figure out how to integrate large game boards.

Some card-games in particular are likely to be compatible with the Apples to Apples set, and I'm intending on integrating that into the download, and making blank covers/spines for people to modify their own, and I've got some ideas for multiple games per box (like with Fluxx and other card games).

If you've got a game that you think would work particularly well with this system, I'm open to suggestions - but I kind of have to own it first. Currently looking at buying Carcassone.

Just picked up Drillers at Gen Con and had to make an insert to organize everything. My goal was to make setup super quick by having all the cards already sorted out and by having player trays so they can just be handed all the components they need, including their starting deck.

I put this together to better organize the Wingspan Pocket box. Box lid pins the instructions and player cards down for two reasons: One, because it prevents cards from coming out of their storage areas. Two, because the box doesn't allow for a lot of extra space, so I tried to maximize the components of the liner, which pretty much filled the box to the brim.

Edit: Make sure the eggs lay on their sides in the bottom tray. Otherwise, the top tray won't sit properly.

Needed a way to store my Jenga pieces after my toddler tore the box it came in. Figured I'd try my hand at a book storage for it.

Please let me know what you think!

Designed this to organize and store 4 different Flip 7 decks.
