The Broken Token Game Organizer Compatible with Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition - Wooden Game Organizing Box with Multiple Trays

To reiterate what most people are saying, this is a really genius product. There isn't a single square centimeter of wasted space in your box. This makes starting games and cleaning up after games much quicker and avoids the many limitations of little plastic bags used to store objects, cards, etc. Everything is stored in a way that makes the game ready to play extremely quickly.One of the best features of this is the scoring boards. As anyone with the game knows, the flat cardboard scoring boards are difficult to use. One small bump of your table or board ad your pieces move all over and you don't know where cubes belong. This eliminates this and keeps your cubes right where they need to be.As others have noted, this comes disassembled. For the most part, the pieces fit very tightly and easily. The manufacturer recommends having a file to help with any edges that don't fit, but I did not need one - all of the pieces fit very well. Assembly was pretty easy - it took me about 90 minutes and I found it therapeutic, like building a puzzle. For the few pieces that didn't fit together as snugly as I would like, I used a bit of wood glue and that has worked well.Design wise it is brilliant, not just in function but in presentation as well. The first player token is a rocket ship, and the card shoe has little rockets on the side. It's a nice touch. The generation, temperature, and oxygen tokens are cute, too. They are not acrylic though. I felt like I read acrylic somewhere. Mine are wood.If I had one suggestion for improvement, I'd love to see a little color added beyond the generation, oxygen, and temperature markers. In particular, my wife often confuses heat and energy - so having the player boards show heat in red and energy in purple (plants in green, steel in brown, etc) to reflect the colors in the game would add an additional level of ease. Well, actually, two suggestions for improvement - for me, when I put the board in the box, it doesn't close fully - there is maybe a 1 cm gap between the bottom of the lid and the bottom of the box. It's a minor thing to me, but I know some other people would find that problematic.I know the organizer is expensive - I paid more than I paid for the actual game. For how often my family plays, I am extremely grateful I made the purchase. If you play this game with any regularity and you value your time, this is an excellent investment.

At first, I was hesitant to purchase this. After all, this organizer costs almost as much as the game itself!However, now that I've received it, I am blown away by how great it is. Some serious planning went into the creation of this organizer. You can tell that whoever made this loved Terraforming Mars and put a tremendous amount of thought into how to organize everything. I can't even imagine the engineering genius that managed to make this all fit perfectly in the 3-dimensional space of the original box.With this organizer, there are no more bags. Everything is stored perfectly inside the storage pieces. The player tokens stay on the player boards. All the money cubes and city/greenery tiles fit into 2 organizers. Even the card holder is amazing, as it holds all of the cards even when sleeved. Personally, I play this game so often that I felt it necessary to protect the cards inside Dragon Shield sleeves, and all of the cards fit perfectly in the card box. The additional game piece tokens are also very nice. The board fits snugly into the top of the organizer when assembled.The only thing to be aware of is that you have to assemble everything yourself. When you open the package, you receive a large number of wooden boards that you pop pieces out of, and then you have to assemble every single piece of the organizer yourself. While the pieces do snap together pretty well, I would highly recommend using glue to make sure they stay together. The instructions are excellent, and there is also a video you can watch that helped me put it together. It took me a few hours to put it together.If you play this game regularly, you will absolutely love this organizer! I can't recommend it enough.

This thing is…. just……I am so glad I bought it. I was literally left speechless after I got it put together and put back in the box. I know what you are thinking. This organizer costs more than the game wtf?!? Trust me you WANT this organizer. It increases the value AND believe it or not, the actual game play of the game significantly.First, Terraforming Mars is an outstanding board game. However, I would rate the game itself a 7.5 out of 10 for what it is coming out of the box. Add this insert/organizer to the game…. easy 10/10 game. Let me explain why. The game comes with these horrendous player mats where the slightest bump will knock all your carefully placed pieces all over the place, and when you need them set specifically to keep track of numbers…. well it’s frustrating let’s just leave it at that. NOW this amazing organizer comes with ALL NEW organizers for all 5 players. Made of wood and indented so the pieces stay in place. Personally, those alone are worth the asking price of this set. But WAIT there’s more….Not only do you get 5 complete organizers but you also get these cool little acrylic colored tokens that you replace the basic cheap little white cubes that track the temp, oxygen and generations in the game. Those are more just to spruce up your game a bit more and they look nice. There’s more!!You also get a full complement of organization for the complete game including a card tower with a cool rocket flying to mars carving in the sides. The tower holds the whole deck of cards at an angle to make them easy to draw from and separators so you can toss the discards cards in there as well. Also 2 token holders that hold (in separate compartments) all the gold silver and bronze resource cubes and the city/forest tiles.Let’s see what else is there…….AH YEAH, there is a nifty holder for all the cool little tiles of the random stuff that can happen in the game like a nuke and mines and a tiny little holder for the ocean tiles as well. Beyond that there is a whole new 1st player token that is a little wooden rocket! Oh, did I mention this entire set is wood?! Not only does it look great but it has that amazing wood smell. Oh, and the set does come needing full assembly. But honestly, I rather enjoyed my time putting it together, felt like I was actually creating something. Plus, once you spend the time building the set, to me, it just adds that much more value to it. There is an instruction booklet to help you and it’s super easy to follow and it does mention to use wood glue to make sure the pieces stay together. For me the pieces were expertly cut so the pieces all fit together very snug and the only thing I had to use wood glue on was the little first player rocket token which was just 2 pieces that fit together.So, let’s recap: Fully wooden organizer, increases value of board game, increases fun of board game with added/replacement pieces, the entire thing FITS IN THE BOX PERFECTLY, makes setup and cleanup a breeze, smells great looks great.

some texture is not high-quality

If you can find this for a price you are comfortable with, it's beyond worth it. Putting it together takes some time, but you gain the time back in reduced setup time, easily. Pieces were cut well enough that i didn't even need glue, just a soft mallet to snug the joints. The trays and holders look great, and there's inlays out there you can print if you dont like the burnt-wood look of the standard inlays. There are but two minor downsides to this organizer; firstly it is TIGHT in the box the first time it is assembled. It gets easier but it is snug at first. Secondly, if you have the hellas/elysium board it will not fit inside the box. Easily fixed with an elastic or two, but notable nonetheless. Overall an excellent buy.

テラフォーミングマーズの動乱までの拡張に対応したオーガナイザーです。基本セットに対応したオーガナイザーがまた別売りで必要になります。しかし、基本セット＋動乱までの全拡張に対応した上位互換の商品が別に存在します

良い点・ぱっと見カッコイイ・準備、片付けの手間が大幅に減る・各自のボードがキューブはめ込みになっているのでちょっと触ったくらいではずれないのでプレイしやすい気になる点・自分で組み立てなくてはいけない・木製のためささくれている部分が多少ある値段については商品＋海外からの送料＋手間賃と考えれば妥当なのではないかと

組み立ては90分ほどでした。接着材など不要でパチパチはめていくだけなので楽しく作れます。収納がラクになり次回もすぐに遊べるのがとてもいいですね。ちょっと資源が取り出しにくいのがネックです。
