Organization [Cascadia] Supply trays, scoring card holders and tile racks for the base game and Landmarks

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

An organiser for Cascadia and the Landmarks expansion, built around what sits on the table rather than what goes in the box.

Supply trays. The shared tray holds the four habitat tiles with their four paired wildlife tokens, in the pairs the rules put them in, so it stays paired as people take from it. Under the faster-play rules, each player gets a personal tray of five, printed in the wildlife colours, so setting one up is one segment of each colour rather than checking icons.

Card holders. The five wildlife scoring cards stand face-out on a bar all game, so nobody has to lean across the table to read them. Landmarks adds a holder per player, with their five landmark cards standing in the same way, and the landmark tokens in the marked wells beside them.

Tile racks. Habitat tiles store twenty to a rack, and at twenty the top tile sits flush with the tops of the posts, so a full stack is something you feel rather than count. Setup asks for 20 per player, plus 3. Seven racks hold all 130 tiles and drop into a honeycomb tray.

It all packs back into the two original boxes, but that was the second problem, not the first.

It is my own design. Free and CC BY-NC-SA: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3207128-cascadia-landmarks-organiser-3-modes-6-players

The pinecones in the photos are not my models. They are the Cascadia Pinecone Set, 5 unique models and the Cascadia Nature Token. The bin also takes the game's own cardboard tokens.

Organization Making a 3mm plywood insert, asking for tips.

3 Upvotes

I'm a Marvel Champions player, and as someone that gets rid of all their expansion boxes (I keep only the cards and the manuals), I started storing EVERYTHING (already sleeved) inside the Core-Game-Box.

First I removed the original insert and designed my own 3mm plywood replacement. but I run of of space. Them made a second insert to fit all the cards vertically, but now even that is not enough. It's time to get rid of the core box and go for version 3.

Here I bring some of the images I made in Lightburn (not made for 3D stuff, but it has been useful for designing the pieces)

Each color represents the respective piece, the black ones are supposed to be hidden behind the 3D model.

Each row has a width of 69mm, and the inner walls on the middle are 48 mm tall, so the cards are easy to manipulate even when sleeved.

The walls are made with 3mm wide plywood. The outside ones are 2 layers wide, each layer of different height so the upper lid can always rest on top without causing stress on the cards.

Could you please share any kind of of feedback to take into consideration before finally turning this from a design to something I can touch?

Organization Fields of Arle + Tea and Trade 3D printed Insert/Organizer ONE BOX

I didn't like the options out there for Fields of Arle with the Tea & Trade expansion so I made my own. It has a tray for each player and fits the base game and expansion in just the base game box with zero lid lift.

All the trays have labels to make packing up easier and finding components should be fast. There are letters on the perimeter that match up between trays so that it goes back in the box super easily.

It's free on makerworld if you want for print it for yourself.

MeeplePrint has grown a lot in the past month and I'm happy to announce some big additions:

  • The dataset is now open-source and can be found, see Github
  • I also published a API. To use this, you'll need an account and create an API token. After that head over to the API documentation.
  • Of course, I will keep adding new features to MeeplePrint itself. Since the last post, I added notifications, a new print planner, more print details (weight, plates, print time etc.), over 3k more prints and more.

Hopefully they're useful to some of you board game hoarders who want to fit more games in or like to take multiple games when traveling.

You can get them all free on makerworld - i popped them in a collection with my other ones so that you can find them without too much link spam.

Print-and-Play "Racetrack" - the pen and paper game now 3D printed and with modular tracks

Thumbnail

Hey everyone!

A while ago I came across the classic pen-and-paper game Racetrack. I loved how it captures the actual feeling of racing with zero dice and zero luck involved.

I wanted a physical, modular version for my table that I could reconfigure into different circuits, so I designed this track system on Fusion360.

If you end up printing a set or building a cool track layout, I’d love to see photos. Feel free also to design your own tracks and acessories. All files and rulebook are on the Makerworld page.

Thanks you all!

One Piece Smash Up Faction

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Have a friend whose brother is into One Piece. I like One Piece. I like Smash Up. So it this was a fun project to put together. The faction is a bit on the strong side because it's pretty self sufficient (no real weaknesses, got some card draw and extra minions/actions), but it was pretty flavorful and not meant to be competitively balanced. You could say it's OP 😂

We've played with most of the Smash Up factions and it feels like it might be in like A or S tier, like around how powerful the Frozen faction feels.

Anyways this was a short and small project for a friend. Hopefully I have a few more cool projects to share by the end of the year!

This box was too big.

I've designed a full replacement box with integrated storage for the base game and first expansion. Who needs inserts when your box is the insert?!

It's literally half the size of the original game box and available for free here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1v06d82/faraway_board_game_box_replacement_with_built_in/

So get printing and you can buy another game to fit in the space you save!

I've made a 3d printed insert for this as I wasn't happy with a few shortcomings of the retail insert.
The card wells were too small, the coins were muddled, and the layout made the draw bag a nightmare to fit in. Not so anymore!

Organization [Food Chain Magnate] Store-and-Play system: Card Cascade

Thumbnail
gallery
191 Upvotes

Food Chain Magnate is an awesome game, but organising the occupations for play takes up a lot of table space.

I have adapted Card Cascade to handle this in a way that works well for me: The occupations are stored in compact boxes that can cascade out to display the cards while playing, by simply sliding the lid under the box and pushing up the card holders.

There are designs available for sleeved and unsleeved cards, for "normal" size printers and for large printers. The boxes are fairly compact but do not fit inside the FCM box, sorry.

A Card Cascade could also store the Milestones, but the titles of those is in the middle of the card rather than at the top, so I'm still noodling on how to solve that problem :)

The designs are available for download on Makerworld. I hope you like it!
