Organizer/insert only. Does not include the board game!
This is an insert for the Robinson Crusoe Collector’s Edition from Gamefound, with the Book of Adventures, Treasure Chest, Sailor & Gamer expansion boards and pawns, Companion App Packs, and Gamefound exclusive promos (e.g., introductory campaign scenario book, Dramatic Morale expansion, Caves expansion, Wreckage Tile expansion, invention cards for the scenarios in the Book of Adventures). It supports vertical storage, premium sleeves (Gamegenic Prime shown in the photos), upgraded resources and GeekUp bits, has no lid lift, and was designed to aid setup and teardown.
I designed this to be used with the playmat, so the cardboard game board does not fit in the box without some lid lift. This insert also does not hold the minis, volcano dice tower, Voyage of the Beagle, or Mystery Tales.
Here are some other features of the insert.
- Setup trays are separated from in-game trays. Setup trays can be returned to the box after setup, while in-game trays are designed to go directly on the table during play.
- There are four trays for the build, gather, and explore cards – one for the original game cards, and one for each of the companion app packs. You choose the card type and place the corresponding tray directly on the playmat. I wanted to make it as easy as possible to choose any of the build/gather/explore sets. These trays are sized so they fit correctly on the playmat, which has slightly different spacing from the locations on the cardboard board.
- The inventions deck holder is adjustable, allowing you to divide the inventions as you see fit. With two dividers, you can have one slot for the starting inventions, one for the regular inventions, and one for the glass inventions from the Treasure Chest. If you prefer to mix the glass inventions with the regular inventions, the tray is flexible and can accommodate this. The fixed slot in the front of the inventions/starting equipment tray holds the starting equipment. The fixed slot in the rear holds the inventions for the Book of Adventures.
- A setup tray for selecting characters. It holds the triple layered character boards (including the sailor and gamer boards), the player pawns, the companion cards (both versions of Friday and the crewmen cards from the Treasure Chest), and the character health trackers.
- A setup tray for the map tiles, caves expansion, wreckage expansion tile, weather promo tiles, and animal cards and pawns. The animal cards and pawns are in their own removable tray that can be placed on the table. The Gamefound Collector’s Edition has a build/gather/explore card expansion where you can gain or lose animals as part of your adventure, and this tray makes it easy to add and remove them during the game.
- An in-game resource tray that is large enough to accommodate most third-party resources, such as those from MeepleSource.
- An in-game token tray that accommodates the BGG Store’s GeekUp Bits.
- A tray that holds the discovery token bag from the Treasure Chest and accommodates all the discovery tokens in coin capsules, including those from the Treasure Chest. It can instead hold the GeekUp discovery tokens, although the BGG Store has not released a set of GeekUp Bits that includes the Treasure Chest discovery tokens.
- A card tray for several smaller expansions, including Searching the Beach, Dramatic Morale, both Traits expansions, and the animals expansion for the build/gather/explore card decks. If you want to play with the animals expansion, you can leave those cards mixed in with the other build/gather/explore cards. The in-game tray is large enough to hold them along with the other cards. But if you prefer not to play with it, there is a slot in this card tray where you can store the animal expansion cards separately.
- A large discard tray with six slots to keep discarded cards tidy and separated. This tray also serves as a spacer to hold the Book of Adventures safely in place. There is also a discard slot at the rear of the Beasts tray.
- A couple of spare trays. In one, I keep the wooden horror dice from the Gamefound campaign.
