Broken Token Inserts
A few months ago, I was really gung-ho about designing and assembling my own box inserts for big board games. Well…that kind of passed, and I’ve got a pile of uncut black foam core. But man these kits from Broken Token are really nice. Got two for starters: Mage Knight and Eclipse.

Saw the Blood Rage one at Origins. It was a thing of beauty.
You could tape the foam core together to make a nice, matte, black gaming mat for Armada. Maybe have Iris paint some stars on there for effect?
Adam Day actually I bought this amazing oversized yoga map that’s precisely the right dimensions. And soft.
But all that foam core needs a home! I ‘spose you could hoard it away until Iris has a science project…
Returning to the inserts: did everything fit and sort well with the Mage Knight box? Including the expansions?
I’m doing Eclipse first! I’m worried about MK
Oh noes! That’s why I asked: that box is full of particularly-shapred bits and Broken Token’s stuff seems rather square.
Well, so the reason I’m worried is that you can buy one additional sheet of separators, and I wonder why.
Now that I’m looking more closely at how they’ve designed it, they arrange stuff in a way that I don’t really like. I keep all of each character’s shit in their own bag: figure, cards, chits, reference card, all of it. Looks like BT wants me to break everything up. Maybe. Argh.
I may just be feeling sensitive after the failure of the Eclipse box to hold three expansions worth of stuff.
I have the 7 Wonders and Legendary Encounters inserts. The 7W insert is amazing. I have the base game, all expansions, and all promos for the game and it all fits. I have sixteen wonders in that box. And the Babel tiles. And the leaders. AND IT ALL FITS.
