I have been very happy with a lot of the Broken Token products I have bought. I'm a bit less happy with this one. First, the cost. Getting the full storage solution for Arkham Horror 3rd edition here costs $220, which is a lot when compared to BT storage solutions for other large games, even others with their own storage crate. For comparison, Spirit Island is similar in size, has a crate, and costs $130. Terraforming Mars, a famously big game, is $170 with the crate. Eldritch Horror, a substantially larger game with a bigger crate and more trays, costs $220, the same amount. Why does this organizer cost so much more than other comparable products?
Next, the fit. The lid did not sit well, with a noticeable gap in one of the corners that causes the lid to be loose. I own a number of other BT large storage crates and have never had this issue before.
Finally, the stacking guide provided is inaccurate. This was actually an issue with the Expansion Organizer (ORG131) as well. The card trays did not fit in the top portion of the organizer as depicted in the stacking guide, and the same non-functional configuration is on the stacking guide provided with this product as well. It IS possible to fit all of the card trays in the space provided, but just not as depicted. Also, the stacking guide clearly shows the card trays placed within the ORG131 top tray fitting inside the crate. This does not work - the inner dimensions of the crate are the same as the ORG131 top tray, so there is no way for them to fit inside each other. Actually, if you look carefully at the images on the product listing, it shows this. The card trays are shown going directly into the crate without the ORG131 tray in the photos. However, the stacking guide provided with this product clearly shows the card trays inside the ORG131 tray fitting inside the crate. While I am happy that everything does fit, it is a bit of a shame that the ORG131 tray is basically scrap wood now.
In the end, the product itself is acceptable. It was easy to assemble, looks good, fits together well (minus the small lid gap), and puts all of the game components in one place without having to fiddle with multiple boxes or the rubber band contraption holding the lid on. I am just confused about why it costs so much compared to other similar products, and a bit disappointed that the stacking guide provided is not accurate and now means that the largest tray you get from ORG131 is garbage now.
This divider set sped up the admin time for kdm by nearly a full hour. We got 5 hunts in on one session instead of our usual four. Did take about 3 hours to assemble and sort game, but after the prep invested we got a whole gameplay event further than usual.
They divide stuff. 10 out of 10.
I bought my organizer from Amazon. That experience was very smooth. The organizer was good once built. It did take a long time to assemble, which I didn’t love. In addition, everything does not fit in the box- two of the character trays do not fit unless I take out four character boxes that come with the game. In addition, I packed everything into the box as per the instructions and I cannot close the lid all the way. That being said, I’m happy that I have an organizer for my gloomhaven game. The various compartments are great, but given the price I paid this does not meet expectations. I likely would not recommend this product or buy again.
Needs 10 small inserts for the small cards instead of 6. They sent me an extra 4 for $10 though.
I use these to mark activated units/models in our Dark Ages skirmish games.
Metal, good size and definition, and perfect for a distinct token that matches the theme without clashing with aesthetic.
Recommend.
This made the game so much better. My fiance just viewed it as buying cubes for quests before this upgrade
While the quality is decent, the max characters you can actually fit in this is 12, not the 18 promised. Villainous is a huge game now with over 41 possible expansion characters so I was hoping to pair down some boxes. Not as advertised which was highly disappointing.
Worth noting: if it came with all of the dividers you could potentially fit 18, but it only comes with enough for 12.
Used these for Cooper Island coins and they are a perfect match!
Twilight Imperium: Prophecy of Kings Compatible Expansion Organizer
This is a great new tower for my Wingspan game! It went together nicely with the included instructions. I did switch the order of the roof attachment so the tricky piece went on first instead of later. Thank you for this gem “birdfeeder”!
Dice tower came exactly as described. Wished it was easier to pop out the pieces from the template, but finished product was great.
There was one part that didn't fit properly. I had to slice parts with a utility knife to make it fit. I knew up front that it was not kallax compatible, but I don't understand why. The box could have been a bit lower?
Although there are a lot of instruction videos, I was a bit lost where each type of card/monster should go. Also, in the video, there were more dividers, resulting in a bit more structure.
The box does not minimize shelf space a lot, but it facilitates gameplay enourmously!
I am hesitating about the Arkham crate, but mostly because sleeved investigator sheets in this box did fit fit barely and the pricing.
After the ease I had getting the mini card cases I bought at the same time together, I was horrified with how much effort it was to put the combo card cases together. Absolutely nothing fit together, like every piece was a few mm too large along length or width or both. I had to sand most of the edges just to make the assembly merely "difficult" rather than "impossible". It's fine now that it's together but that build was singularly unpleasant compared to other Broken Token products I purchased both in the past and on this same order.
Quick and easy to assemble, with plently of flexible storage for lots of mini cards. Excellent!
easy to put together, great way to display the minis I paint. Thank you!
It's old
It's dwarven
It's treasure
It's brilliant
This product worked perfectly for what I needed it for. It took a little bit to get it into the case but that's because I chose not to use glue. Glad I purchased this.
Exactly what I wanted and a perfect quantity. These are laser cut designs, so after punching them out, they are a tad sharp for my preference. Nothing a bit of filing can't fix, but I wish I didn't have to
...because everything fits perfectly in the sorting trays :)!
I will be using these - as well as the other “values”/sizes - as player rewards for a game set in the Invasion Cycle of Irish Mythology. They are perfect for my needs!
