Arkham Horror 2nd Edition Compatible Game Crate

This thing is fantastic! A little cumbersome to assemble alone with no tools but glue is optional because everything fits together tightly and it feels solid. Could use a few more dividers come standard but you can buy additional ones. It houses absolutely everything from all the expansions comfortably and everything has a place. I love the design, the build is true genius, thank you Greg!

Looks great, can’t wait to assemble it!

love it what a great investment

This product is almost perfect. Broken Token isn't storing wood flat, which means large single pieces end up bowed. This impacts that fit which for the large outer case means poor fit. I ended up having to use clamps to try and get the thing to meet up and fit appropriately. It still isn't perfect despite that...

The other issue is that while this says it can fit everything, that's actually only technically true. The slot in which the boards fit is so tight it's a little difficult to slide the boards into it. As a result, you'll end up with scuff marks on the boards. Another few millimeters wouldn't have impacted the overall fit of the design, but would have made a huge difference for the protection of this now out-of-print and expensive game.

The other issue is that there aren't enough component trays to easily separate and fit all the expansion tokens in their own tray section. As a result, you have to co-mingle multiple small box expansion tokens with each other to get them to fit in the provided dividers.

All that said, this is a nearly perfect product. As someone with a lot of boardgames, space is at a premium and having the Arkham Altar has allowed me to consolidate a lot of boxes into a single attractive package. Despite its shortcomings, I can hardly imagine a better way to store all of these components and the fact that you can sleeve everything and store them with this is exceptional! The price is steep, of course, but my expectation of product quality was mostly met.

A great way to store all of the AH game and expansions in a single crate! Makes organizing and storing so much easier. The only reason this didn't get 5 stars from me is the price and lack of enough dividers... don't forget to add (3) extra dividers to your order.

My Altar arrived a bit earlier than expected, pleasant surprise there. Went together pretty easily for the most part. Only place I ran into trouble was the bottom panel apparently was meant to go in with the storage diagram facing down. It was too late to change that when I noticed it, but with a bit of drilling and sanding and a big glob of glue I made it work. Agree with other comments that you need more small dividers, I ordered 3 extras when I ordered the Altar and all is good. Some hickory stain and lacquer (per the helpful videos) and this thing looks pretty amazing. So glad to be able to store my game in 1 box instead of 4.

It was relatively simple to build. Looks really nice after stain!

All put together the crate does it's job well. It had a couple rough edges that needed to be sanded down and without glue this thing would not hold together like most of the other broken token stuff does. All fixable just small things that make it less than 5 star for me.

The box itself is incredible, but putting it together was a real pain. The instructions that come with it were worthless, and the youtube video was too fast and didn't show proper rotations on screen. Still glad I got it.

AH 3e is a huge game. Even just the base box. And with that much to it, finding a reasonable storage solution is bound to be tough.

Enter the Arkham Altar, which provides a unique and decorative display piece as well as phenomenally useful storage. Everything easily found and labeled, travels well (!) and as usual from TBT, the quality and instructions are top-notch. The only slight downside was that my hands were too big to easily get into some of the small spaces, and because it's such a massive crate, it does take a while to assemble. Especially when you let multiple parts dry overnight (and you should).

Another hit with my group. Thanks!

I absolutely love this organizer! It helps keep ALL of my Arkaham Horror 2nd edition so neat and clean. Being able to play out of the box makes setup and tear down so much easier! The only issue I had was that I would have loved a few more small card dividers. I wanted to set it up the same way as the video but not a huge deal :) I can't wait to buy more of the large organizers!

Pros: - highly functional in play - big space saver on the table - space saver in the closet (compared to all the original boxes) - excellent customer service from BT, as usual Con: - there are not enough card dividers included -- even Broken Token's own "How It Fits" video assumes you have purchased two extra card divider sets, and at this price it was frustrating to realize they cut that particular corner Neither pro or con: - design assumes you have sleeved cards; I do, but if you donâ€:tm:t then you will have a lot of extra space in the card sections - very time-consuming to assemble because, unlike most Broken Token box inserts, the "box replacement" crates like this one really do need to be glued on pretty much all the joins (for many this would be a con but I love putting these things together!)

This is a fairly well executed idea for a single storage option. As I was packing it there were a couple of minor things I might have changed but since I can't remember them now they were very minor. If you sleeve your characters and elder gods you will need to store some of them in the misc drawer. Which is fine.. it all fits.

Very nice crate. holds everything in one box. had to adjust my shelving system a bit but fits nice with the rest of my games. my only issue is not enough dividers. I knew that going in and got 1 of the extra dividers but I need 2 more of them I'm going to order. I think with all the expansion this game has, the base amount just isn't enough for anyone putting it together. You certainly aren't always playing with all expansions. definitely needs more large dividers standard with the kit. Actually if we could order sheets of the large dividers separate from the mini ones, that might be better. Only other issue I had was some single parts were a little warped but I got it together. Response: Glad to hear it all came together. Remember, if at any time you end up with unusable parts, just put in a ticket here and we are happy to help you: https://www.thebrokentoken.com/contact-us We hear your feedback about the dividers. It's often a tough decision whether to include more or not so we are taking this into consideration.

This is a work of art. We applied a stain/polyurethane coating to it and it looks great. This is a truly intricate piece of art work. As someone who has constructed numerous inserts and crate (I had previously done the one for Elder Sign and had bought the Fireball island at the same time as this one) this is by far the most complex. A rubber tipped hammer is absolutely required though. I hate to bring it up but I got mine from meeple realty and it's a godsend for assembly of these things. Clamps or patience are required for the outer case though. RESPONSE: Thanks for the awesome review. Rubber mallets are a great tool indeed, regardless of where they come from. Those larger pieces have shown to be a little susceptible to warping, clamps are indeed the way to overcome that issue. You get a 5 start customer rating :D

I love that it fits all the expansions and that its a suitable imposing structure. However, I have to think that Broken Token has gone a little too insane with the construction approach for the main storage unit, given how intricate/many connections are needed at some steps, the rather warped laser cut pieces I got have made it an exercise in futility. I'm not sure I'm every going to be able to get mine together at this rate and I've had no problems with about 5 other organizers I've gotten from them. RESPONSE: Hey Eric, create a ticket here https://www.thebrokentoken.com/contact-us We had some sanding issues that made a handful of these nearly impossible to build. We will replace any parts that aren't working.

It really does fit literally every bit of Arkham Horror (2nd edition)! Makes setup, playthrough, and cleanup much simpler. Some notes about assembly: Expect to spend an entire day or weekend but that's part of the fun, right? Expect to use a lot of wood-glue. Seriously: double check which piece goes where before gluing! The investigator tray was the trickiest component. Bar clamps are useful for the lid and base, be careful to make them actually square. Sanding the edges of the main structure, base, lid, and drawers is especially helpful for getting it all back together. Pros: -Fits every expansion -All components are readily accessible -Attractive and sturdy Cons: -Expensive -Doesn't come with enough card dividers; you'll need the extra page available separately or group some decks together. -Too tall/heavy to fit on most shelves. If all that doesn't drive you properly insane, you'll love it :) 4 stars for not including enough card dividers at this price.

This crate can and at moments will drive you into madness! The end result is really well done though. I have been waiting a long time for an organizer that stored the entire game (w/expansions) and I feel Broken Token took the time needed to produce a quality organizer. I feel if you are a lover of the game the price is worth it. Pros: Fits all expansions, has many trays and room for all the bits and pieces, plenty of room for cards, can keep stands on investigators for storage, seems pretty sturdy, has some art/tuxture to outer cover. Cons: long process to build, some pieces were VERY tight to fit and difficult to assemble (where others smoothly came together), burnt edges smear and dirty the light wood next to it, not enough dividers for cards imo.
