Mansions of Madness Compatible Game Crate

Not received it yet

The crate allowed me to fit all of my second edition expansions into one box and I still have more room to hold more of necessary. I really like the details on the outside of the crate and for the individual holders. It did take a while to assemble but it everything was cut perfectly and came together relatively easily. V.

It was a bit tricky to put together and it's fiddly when trying to stack everything just right. It does have plenty of room though.

Since there first 2 exclusions are no longer available, this will fit all of the expansions. It also makes set up and test down much easier.

I bought this after reading it had "10 Monster Trays featuring either dividers or a rail system" because the idea of choosing either option was appealing. Like many MOM players, I've rebased my monster minis onto much smaller clear bases and thrown out the ugly black rectangles. However, when I got the crate and started putting it together, I learned that it doesn't come with "either dividers or rails". It comes with rails (only) for the Small and Medium Monster Trays, and with dividers (only) for the Large Monster Trays.

So if that's a factor in your purchase, please be aware. I've asked BT to change the description to be clearer.

Other than that, good quality and relatively easy to put together. I especially like the People Trays and Investigator Trays.

I loathe the person who came up with this design. The amount of splinters, the persistent pain in my finger tips. The sheer frustration and agony when I realize I put the pieces in backwards. All of it is deeply maddening, and strangely appropriate for a Mansions of Madness set.

Yet the product is absolutely wonderful.

Had a similar experience with the Arkham Horror Crate, but like that crate, this product is a must have for those who own this game. It holds all expansions, all pieces, has wonderful organization, and overall looks fantastic. The Broken Token even improved on its assembly process as I did not have any narrow/ill-fitting pieces like I did with the Arkham Crate.

It's just an ordeal to put together. Yet even though I hated the process, it fits together sturdily (don't even need glue for many pieces) and the instructions are incredibly clear and easy to follow. Just, you know, make sure you're following them correctly or you'll add hours trying to fix your mistake.

It even comes with a neat perch for your phone that really adds something to the game. I thought that was a wonderful touch.

5/5, a must have for the owners of this game. Hope your finger tips are well callused.

The lid is a mess and pulls the top layers of the internal storage bins apart. The wood was, again, warped from improper storage and humidity at the warehouse. For such an expensive item, this is disappointing.

The Mad Manor Crate is great for Manaions of Madness and all of its expansions. All the components fit perfectly inside the box and now I can paint the models without having to worry about the paint scratching due to storage issues.

This ... is ... a .... BEAST. Be prepared ... this one will take you a while to build. BT customer service is awesome, by the way. In the process of building mine I slipped with an X-acto knife and sliced my hand open and managed to get blood on one of the boxes I was building. BT sent me a replacement sheet to replace the blood soaked box. Granted it would be thematic ... but having a blood soaked box would not be terribly hygenic. :) The labeling on the pieces is done well. The only issue is putting the cover on as you have to have all the mini boxes perfectly aligned/stacked so it doesn't catch the corner of any of those boxes as it slides down.

This is just amazing! I can't get over the effort that went into designing this. I'm going the extra mile and staining this one. My only complaint is that I just have the base game, and this makes me want to buy ALL the expansions so I can make full use of it. Love the stand for my app-enabled device.

If you have Mansions of Madness 2nd Edition and any additional expansions beyond the base game this is a must have. This is my first large crate with Broken Token and the thing is a beast!

Pros:
- Stores all the components from Base game and all expansions except for Path of the Serpent officially. There are posts on BGG where someone has gotten it to fit without any additional items from BT.
- Makes setup and tear down 10x faster and much easier to leave items in the storage units vs taking everything out of baggies/boxes especially if you play with expansions
- Table Space, this allows you to keep table space clear for the game without needing to have everything everywhere
- Fits perfectly into a KALLAX shelf from Ikea

Cons
- No official support for Path of the Serpent
- Expensive
- Takes about 4 hours to put together if you lightly sand, pre-cut the piece connections out of the punch board to prevent splintering, trim/clean up cut marks and glue. Add an additional 4 hours if you stain it

I could not be more please with the crate, it's design, and the amount of space/time saved from it. If you have the extra money and want to really spruce up your MoM collection, this crate is where it's at.

Another great product from broken token.

Overall and unfortunately, my least favorite (but first) crate purchased.

Once assembled, the individual trays, holders, lid, and base are gorgeous. The monster cages and lid/base artwork blows my mind, and yet the creators left an adequate amount of blank space to affix official logo graphics should you so choose to make your own decals or stencil work. The storage space serves its purpose and the device stand on the card holder is a fantastic bonus. The card tray itself is so convenient and really goes a long way in ease of gameplay. However, the issues begin once you put everything together.

The arrangement of the components in the box is troubling and clunky, both in regards to how game components fit in the given storage slots/spaces, and once compiled into the crate altogether. Firstly, at the risk of becoming a broken record, the token holders never account for capsuled tokens. This is especially frustrating when it comes to the Person tray. I still have yet to find a workaround so I can make the thing function like it was intended to (which BTW, is ingenious in theory). I had to get super inventive when storing my tokens. Another big issue arose with monster storage. Even when I used the site photos as a guide, the monsters (particularly the medium-large ones) displayed in the pics cannot realistically fit in the positions they were shown in. There were tentacles and claws hanging out past the cage’s top everywhere. I wish the photos were an accurate reflection of how these guys properly fit together, without impeding the ability to stack the cages/trays. The small monster trays function as they should but it does take hours of flipping, spinning, and organizing to jigsaw-piece the monsters all in so they all fit nicely. And—oh my, the lid and base—once you have everything neatly arranged as instructed inside the box, you better not be planning on playing the game frequently once you affix the lid. Every time I lift the lid up, the topmost rows and columns of trays and such suction inside the top. There is a huge risk for these components to slide out and shatter across the floor if you’re not careful in picking them out gingerly, one by one. Lastly, even when following the stain tutorial, be aware that the amazing graphics that make the crate so exquisite will most likely be lost in the process. The contrast of the etching just isn’t enough for the stain to make them pop.

Overall, I want to love this crate. It’s definitely a showpiece if you don’t make the mistake of staining it OR you find a way to highlight the artwork post-stain. But its functionality just isn’t worth the price unless you know you won’t be playing the game frequently. I’d say: but if you’re played out, and if you want an exquisite museum piece that you don’t mind spending a lot of time coloring/staining/etc to keep the design work alive.

My husband bought this for me, as I'm a huge fan of this game and all its associations and lore. The set was quite ambitious - we had to set it all out, and it took weeks to put it all together, plus having the right kinds of tools and glue to make adjustments if wood broke, etc. But it's a BEAUTIFUL box, and I love how it fits all the parts. The only two complaints I have are: 1.) I'm always fearful of breaking said-box! Obviously, the material has to be what it has to be, but...if I'm taking it to friends' houses, I'm not always sure how durable the container will remain. And 2.) it's sometimes difficult to remember the order each interior component should go in, once you've constructed it. Again, not a huge deal, my husband has a fairly good memory. But it can be a little more cumbersome than you think about, in all the joy of having this cool container.

Overall, still highly happy with the purchase, and I'd love to paint it someday. I think it's worth the price, despite my reservations.

The Mad Manor Crate is an amazing organizer for a game that’s simply impossible to organize. The crate did release prior to one expansion being release but the crate still fits everything. Easy assembly, in my opinion, just time consuming because it is a lot that needs to come together. Oh, and Incase I forgot, it just looks great. On the table or on the shelf, it’s an imposing box!!

I bought this as a birthday gift for a friend who has always wanted it. It looks wonderful and he said it deserves extra stars beyond the 5 for what a great product it is. I'm happy that he's happy :) Thanks for a product that gave him and his kids a lot of joy!

It takes a good while to get everything glued and assembled but the final product it's just beautiful

All of the inner components were of great quality. My only complaint is they do not hold all of the expansions. I knew this going in, but it is still frustrating. I had to ditch the exterior box as it was a royal pain to open and close. I opted instead to place all of the items in a vintage suitcase. The one thing I really did like was the inner components were separated in a way that made customizing them in a new case very easy.

This is over the top in every way, but... it just works and fits everything perfectly.
Very happy I ordered this, and there may even be some potential future updates to fit further expansions.
Highly recommended, but just be aware this is not a required purchase, more of an all-in expense.

Beautiful--I love Mansions of Madness and it is a great gateway game for newer players. Problem is having all the xpacs and lugging it around is a pain. This thing solved it all! Stained it a dark espresso and it's very sexy. Broken Token even sold me extra card dividers since I snapped some and wanted extra for Spell sorting. Set up and tear down is much faster now.

I have ordered the crate on a sunday and it took only 4 (!!!) days to get it delivered to Germany. That's pretty quick. The crate itself is absolutely fantastic. It took me about 2 hours to put everything together, but that's absolutely worth it. The crate is big enough to fit the whole game and ALL the expansions. I really love it!

This is one of the best storage options for the game, but does not hold the newest expansion path of the serpent.

Great product! Absolutely love this crate! Hoping FF will produce more DLC for the game, we have plenty of tiles and figures.
