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.
