Battlestar Galactica Compatible Game Organizer

I bought the Battlestar Galactica Compatible Game Organizer because I have all the expansion. Components were spread across multiple boxes, and it was time consuming to sort through them and setup a game. This was particularly true because I had cards and pieces in separate bags to keep them organized. It took time just to get things out of the bags.

With the organizer, all components did fit into one box as described under "Notes on storing all expansions in a single box". All the pieces are brilliantly organized an extremely easy to find now. The organization of the cards was not quite as fool proof, but the dividers help, and I've come up with a system of dividing cards based on whether they are used in every game or only for certain expansion rules.

Ultimately, I'm extremely happy with the investment. It is excellent for storing all expansion in a single box and has significantly reduce the amount of time it takes me to setup for a game or put away afterwards.

First off, let me be clear - this is an amazing bit of kit. Fitting 3 extra expansions into one box is an incredible feat, and the good people at Broken Token are to be commended. If you own even one expansion for this incredible game, you owe it to yourself to get this.

That said, there are some strange design choices that bring it just short of perfection. A comparatively large amount of space is dedicate to character bases, when the maximum you'll ever need is 7 (and maybe a couple of spares). Meanwhile the space for Battlestars is too small to hold the cardboard tokens, so they have to be stored elsewhere. Finally (and maybe this is just me) the large card lanes aren't _quite_ large enough to store all the sleeved cards (and the small card lane has 4 dividers, for a total of 5 slots, despite there being 7 card types) - I spent literal hours rearranging and compressing, and eventually settled on just spreading one chunk of cards on top of the character sheets.

(I do note some other reviews saying they'd prefer to have more dividers in the large card lanes, and while that organization would be nice, I think that would just eat up even more space)

Again, to be clear - this absolutely rocks, and I'm delighted with the purchase. But if they made a v2 that addressed these issues, I'd upgrade in a heartbeat.

Worked great!

Deux semaines après réception FEDEX me réclame plus de 15€ de frais. Alors qu'à aucun moment je n'ai été avertie de surtaxe!

Awesome! I only have the basegame for now, but if I get the expansions I have no doubt it will all fit nicely!

Fits everything including expansions, sleeved cards and so on. Quality is good. Much better than the terrible OOB insert.

It's great.

Another great product from Broken Token. I did have some challenges with the assembly where some of the sections weren't well illustrated, forcing me to rebuild a bit.

There is also the one corner where they recommend tape, and this is a direct result of two dividers trying to share the same slot. I glued it, didn't tape it and it held, but it is a bit of an odd ball corner.

That being said, I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the insert, and it allowed me to collapse my 4 box game into only one. The lid doesn't sit entirely flush, but that is a minor thing and not an issue. I am also very glad about the ability to bring it to the table quickly with all the token dividers in place.

Well done, it made me want to play the game again with friends

Excellent addition for an excellent game. Makes setup and tear-down quick!

This organizer fits the game with all expansions beautifully. The laser etched labels on the trays are a nice touch. Box lid doesn't close flush with everything included, but that's a bunch of game boards and four instruction books, nobody's fault.

Assembly was straight forward and easy. Thanks!

The name is hilarious for one. But it fits the games well. I only have the Pegasus expansion and I can see how there is room for the others should I ever get them. Nice finish and easy to assemble.

I've managed to finally fit all the elements from the game and the 3 expansion sets into one box, even if the lid doesn't rest completely flush with the bottom. Hey, it's a LOT of elements between all the expansions! I'm impressed!

I have had this insert for years now and I cannot imagine playing with out it!

I'm so glad this is still in stock. One of my favorite games.

Apart from standard complaint of the material used, plywood which seems more prone to splintering, instead of perhaps something sturdier like MD, I wished that it came with 1 more small cards dividers, and perhaps a more divided organizer section instead of a Misc. Tokens.section.

Everything has its place in this handy insert ! Keep those frakkin' toasters in line . . .

Very useful product! Easy to assemble! Makes it so much easier to transport to game days!

I picked this product up since I had gotten tired of constantly dealing with taking the tokens and cards out of bags every time I went to play the game. This organizer is well made and fits the box perfectly!

This insert is a necessity even if you only have the base game.

Very useful tool for organizing the BSG game and expansions. Saves a lot of space and makes transport much easier.

So far, I really like the organizer. I have not worked in the expansions yet, but I did heed the warning and get the Mayday standard sleeves. My only suggestion, is that I think there should be lid for the components tray and the miniatures tray. If the box gets stored on it's side, all of the components spill out into the box. Kinda of annoying, but not a deal breaker. RESPONSE: If everything is in the box there should be no spillage, we always design with vertical storage in mind.

I love this organizer! It is fantastic to have all 4 boxes organized together into one. I would absolutely recommend this insert to people, but there are a few things you should know. Others have mentioned that the insert does not fit all of the Large cards if they are sleeved in MayDay Games Premium sleeves or FFG sleeves. This is true. The people at Broken Token for their part have made an update to their product description to make this known to potential buyers. I was able to heed this warning and order MayDay Games Standard sleeves for my Large cards as recommended. Sleeved like this I am able to separate my Large cards into sections for Super Crisis Cards, Crisis Cards (no battle crisis cards), Quorum Cards with Title cards, Loyalty Cards, Mutiny Cards, Daybreak Cylon Motive Cards, Crisis and Super Crisis Cards with battles (normally separated when playing with Exodus Cylon Fleet Option), Crossroads Cards with Pegasus Cylon Agenda Cards. I do highly recommend getting the Extra Dividers for this organizer. I agree with others that it is unfortunate that they don't come with main product, but they're not super expensive and they are in my opinion - necessary. I used two extra large dividers and all three extra small dividers. The Two extra Large dividers let me separate the Crisis cards with battles from those without for Cylon Fleet option and also separate the Cylon Agenda cards. The extra small dividers will allow you to create separate sections for All 5 standard Skill cards, the added Treachery cards from Daybreak in another, the unused Treachery deck from Pegasus also containing unused Politics cards from base game, and finally a separate section for all Destination cards along with the 4 objective cards. To me, this is the ideal organization. *** This is only achievable if you sleeve your cards in MayDay Games Standard Mini American card sleeves. *** Premium sleeves will not allow you to do this. I had to re-sleeve mine to achieve this. I wish I didn't have to, but it is totally worth having everything fit in one box and be ideally organized. Beyond that all tokens, stands, and ships have places to go as well. All boards and rulebooks will get stacked on top of the inserts. As others mentioned including all rulebooks will cause the box lid to lift up by a little bit. I threw a Box Band on it and it is super secure and with no pieces spilling out of their holders. So assuming you know the above information and are willing to make the necessary changes/additions, then this insert is about as good as it gets. I'm very happy with my purchase and would like to thank everybody at The Broken Token. Well done! RESPONSE: I am so glad to hear it! We really appreciate you being flexible and finding the solution that works for you! We absolutely love what we do and in the end what makes us most happy is when games get to the table more often!! And we value the feedback that helps us to continually improve our products and our descriptions!

This insert is inconsistent and perplexing in how it deals with expansions. There are great token slots specifically for the additions in the Exodus expansion, and yet the area for small cards doesn't include enough dividers even for destination cards, never mind treachery cards. There also isn't enough space to contain every card with all expansions if you're sleeving. Sleeving is a personal choice, so that's not the product's fault, but you should be aware. Not having enough dividers for the different small card types is puzzling though. The components also do not fit snugly at all and will require gluing or taping to hold together. RESPONSE: I am sorry you didn't find the organizer more appropriate for your needs. For this particular game it's a matter of physics. We chose to squeeze everything into one box, in order to do that we made some sacrifices in design. Things like more dividers have to be given up due to the space available. We call this our space-time continuum dilemma, at some point, without being able to fold space there is simply no more room. However, we do stand firmly behind our products and if you feel that the organizer does not meet your needs we will gladly exchange for another organizer or store credit, it makes us sad when our customers aren't thrilled with their purchase. As for sleeving the box does support sleeved cards so I'd be curious which sleeves you are using that prevented full use, our game is fully sleeved and everything fits so I'd love to research this. Please feel free to contact me!! ! Thanks for your time! Aminda - Customer Relations [****]

I am happy with this organizer and its my first. Really great with a few minor issues. Not enough dividers! There aren't enough card dividers with this set. The organizer is designed for BSG but without that extra divider sheet I feel this is an incomplete product. The BSG game I bought comes with paper enemy battle stars and they don't fit in the space meant for them :( No biggie, I just put them somewhere else.

A very well-designed organizer, bordering on perfect except for a few minor and one glaring issues. Minor issue #1 was spelled out clearly on the product page - with four games worth of boards and rulebooks, the box doesn't fully close. I'd say it's closer to a 5-6mm than 3mm box lift, but nothing some box bands won't keep in check. Note that because of the lid-lift, it is not recommended to store the game upright without either box bands or sandwiching it between other games on the shelf. Minor issue #2, no lids for the minis/tokens trays. Much MUCH less of an issue for this organizer compared to others BT sells, and if you have the full Core +3 Expansions, there's enough weight and player cards to hold it all in place (see issue #1 if storing vertically on a shelf). Might be more of an issue for less expansions or just core game. Minor issue #3, some laser-etching on the dividers would have been a simple low-to-no-cost addition. Just some text in the upper corners would make each divided set easier to identify. Even if it was just a few specific ones such as "quorum cards", "Super Crisis", "Loyalty" etc. - or by expansion, "Pegasus", "Exodus". For the large slanted dividers, anyone NOT wanting the etching to show could simply put them in with etching face-down. Major issue - Not enough dividers! I don't know why Broken Token chooses to do this, but clearly there aren't enough card dividers with this set. They sell extras, true, but an organizer clearly designed for the specific purpose of fitting all four boxes of BSG into one, shouldn't then cheap out and assume you only need enough for the core game. And it can't be a cost issue, it's not like they couldn't just add it into the price. But without that extra divider sheet, this is an incomplete product. This is the issue I deduct a star over. All that aside, very well laid-out, very solid if constructed properly, and undeniably better than carrying around four BSG boxes or leaving a loose mess inside one box. Personally, my copy is unsleeved - if you use sleeves you may have different views on how well everything fits. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this set for anyone with more than one expansion...just get the extra dividers.

So I can't fit everything sleeved, but no big deal. Seeing that this was designed to fit the base game and all three expansions I wish the cards were vertical rather that slanted. The slant allows a better fit with the game board but seeing that I have four boxes, I would like to have a one that could fit all cards VERTICAL, tokens, and minis, and I could store boards and rule books in another box. I know the idea is to get it all in one box, but this doesn't do it. Ignoring that you can't fit all cards when sleeved, you can't fit the rule books and boards and close the box completely.
