Board game box organiser insert

Introduction

If you hate spending ages setting up this fantastic game, then this insert might be for you. The biggest time-saver is afforded by the player caddies, but the rest of the trays will also speed up set up and tear down. This insert houses all game components from the standard version of the game (ie: no deluxe components). It does comfortably support sleeved cards, and the box lid will still shut completely. Each tray design comes with an optional template print that indicates what items go in what tray. You can choose to affix those templates to your tray floors to make it easier to know what goes where when it comes time to pack up.
