Laser-cut insert for Runewars - asking for feedback

[Laser-cut insert for Runewars - asking for feedback]

I am 50% of "The Game Doctors"; we are two friends from Berlin, Germany, who enjoy playing board games. This hobby has spawned another hobby for us: designing laser-cut inserts for complex games.

 

We are planning to launch a Kickstarter campaign to gauge the interest for such inserts especially in Germany and Europe. If our campaign succeeds we will buy our own laser and offer our designs to the public.

 

At the moment we are presenting our prototypes. One of them is for Runewars (Revised Edition).

 

The insert is comprised of nine removable trays and holds the base game (it does not accomodate the expansion for lack of space).

• The lowermost layer consists of four identical trays for the four player factions. By taking one of these trays a player immediately has everything he needs for the game.
• Above there are to trays for the small cards. They can be placed near the play area and used for drawing cards.
• Tray #7 is located in the middle as well and contains the hero figures and big cards. Directly aside the neutral faction claims the eighth tray.
• The final tray comes on top, holding the tokens and providing a secure place for the terrain tiles with its form.

In order to place all nine trays in the correct order we will provide a layout plan which can be stored at the bottom of the game box permanently. After placing the rulebook on top of everything the lid closes flush. The game can be stored on edge. Sleeves are supported.

 

The insert is compatible with these releases (revised editions only): DE, US, FR, ES, PL.

 

We want to make our inserts the best they can be, so we would really appreciate some feedback from fans of the game!

[Laser-cut insert for Descent - asking for feedback]

Thank you all for the kind and/or critical words. We knew that providing an insert for a complex and extensive game like Descent would be difficult. Similar to Arkham Horror or even X-Wing you never really know what is in a gamer's collection. So for starters we concentrated on the base game. It is interesting to know how many of you are interested in a more comprehensive solution tying in the expansions also. The design by Atom4geVampire is impressive in that regard. With a game that complex I also think that one may have to leave behind the original box altogether. At some point in the future we will be attacking this problem, I'm sure. When we do, I will let you know!

It looks like this:
